Hello everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

Thank you once again for all your hard work and help on Friday for our special visit from residents at Erskine care home.

Please note a couple of changes for this week. Reading munch will be changed to Friday to tie in with World Book Day.

Please allow your child to come to school on Friday with their favourite book so we can discuss them for World Book Day. Friday will also be an own clothes day.

Thank you for the delicious fairtrade baking which so many of you brought to school today.

Our visitors from Erskine Care Home and The Lunch Club enjoyed the treats very much.

We still have Chocolate Crispies left, and so on Monday you will be able to enjoy one at snack time.  Please let Miss Hunter know if you would rather your child not have one.

Many Thanks.

P2F had great fun learning about ‘y’ as the sound ‘ie’. We made kites and designed them words using our spelling rule and yesterday we got to fly them high in the sky.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for all of the kind offers to help primary 2 with their Fairtrade afternoon, we were overwhelmed by your generosity. If your child’s class teacher has approached you to take you up on the kind offer, could you please come to the school office at 1.40pm on Friday the 1^st of March.

Many Thanks,

The Primary 2 team.

Hello everyone,

We have a very busy but exciting week this week.

Throughout the next two weeks children will be helping to sell Fairtrade products at our Fairtrade tuckshop at playtimes. . As well as selling the products, your child will be able to purchase these too; all items will be £1.

On Tuesday we have a group coming in called Rainbow Turtle to give us a workshop on all things Fairtrade.

On Friday we are having a very special visit from some residents at the Erskine Care home. We will be spending time with them, playing games and singing with them. After our visit we will be having a Fairtrade tea party within the class. As part of our Maths learning in school we have been learning about measure, in particular weight. As a fun optional homework task we kindly ask that you share in your child’s learning at home by baking a Fairtrade item and bringing it to school on Friday for our tea party. This is optional, but would be a lovely experience for the children if it is at all possible.

Please see the other homework below.

Reading

New books have been issued.

Maths

Odd and even sheet.

Spelling

‘y’ for the sound ‘ie’

Red group: Myself, flying, trying, type.

Green group: Shy, try, fly, sky.

Common words:  Been, called, who, am.

As always if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me at the end of the day or via the homework diary.

Many thanks,

Miss Finnigan

Good Morning everyone! I can’t believe it’s almost March already!

Here is our homework for the week ahead:

Reading

The children have been issued with their new reading book.

Maths

The children have been issued with an odd and even worksheet to complete. We have been working on number patterns in class and have gotten really good at recognising odd and even numbers. We know that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8, whereas odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9.

Spelling

Our sound this week is ‘y ’ for long ‘i’. The spelling words we chose were:

Red Group: cry, try, sky and flying.

Blue Group: python, butterfly, myself and crying.

Our common words this week are:

been, called, who and am.

Tommy the Tree Frog has been given out to a child today and is due back on Wednesday if possible. When he is given out on Wednesday he is due back on a Friday.

The tuck shop will begin on Monday 25^th of February and continue until 8th of March 2019, selling Fairtrade snacks for anyone who wishes to buy. Snacks at the tuck shop will cost £1 each.
