The children have asked me to put some songs on the blog that we were listening to yesterday.
This one is helping us learn our French numbers up to 20.
This one is helping us remember our short vowel sounds.
Enjoy!

Homework w/b 8/10/18
Good afternoon! Here is our homework for the week ahead:
Maths Homework is due on Thursday. Spelling and Reading Homework is due on Friday.
Reading
Each child has been given a new school reading book to read aloud and discuss this week. These will be collected in on Friday.
Maths
The maths homework this week is revision of number bonds to 10. I went over this in class with the children today so hopefully they can complete this. The sheet should be completed and handed back by Thursday.
Spelling
We discussed short vowel sounds today (when the vowel makes its own sound) and came up with some fantastic words! The spelling words we chose were:
had, exit, snip, odd, under
Our common words this week are:
from, or and one.
As always, please ask if you have any queries either through the homework diary or at the end of the day.
Ospreys have a non-uniform day this Friday due to winning the house points this month.

P2K homework w.b. 08/10/18
Hello everyone,
Please see our homework for the week beginning 08/10/18 below. Please note a couple of changes due to the holiday next week.
This week’s spelling pattern is ‘short vowels’. These are vowels that make the letter sound as apposed to the letter name. For example cat (short vowel) pair (long vowel).
Have lovely holiday,
Mrs Kane.

P2F solo talks
P5R and P2K STEM challenge
On Tuesday, as part of STEM week we worked with our friends in Primary 5. Our challenge was to build something tall that could stand alone. We used our Engineering habits of mind to complete this challenge. We were resilient, curious, reflective and collaborated well with our team. We designed, made, then tested our creations.
Here are our pictures:
STEM WEEK CHALLENGE
Yesterday and today we were set a STEM challenge across Primary 2. Unfortunately, Cinderella’s fairy godmother had made the pumpkin disappear! Primary 2 came to the rescue by building a brand new carriage for Cinderella that moved using wind power. We created a design for the carriage and discussed what resources we could use. In groups across P2 we created our versions of carriages for Cinderella. We worked very hard to make sure our carriages moved and were a comfortable space for Cinderella to sit on her way to the ball. Thankfully, P2 saved the day and she got to the ball in plenty of time. Well done Primary 2!
Literacy Fun
Today we focussed on what things we need to remember when writing sentences – capital letters at the beginning and full stops at the end. I was a bit naughty and created some sentences with mistakes in them for Primary 2 to fix. They did really well! Others created stars that had spelling rule words in their points, creating at least one of their own. Finally they practised their capital letters by matching them to their lowercase letters.
Remember these rules when doing your homework P2G for some super sentences!
Parent’s night letters were issued today. Please let me know as soon as possible if the time I have given you is unsuitable. I have tried my very best to accommodate everyone.

STEM Week Day 2
Today we were so lucky to work with P6M to create something that stood tall and alone. We showed fantastic teamwork and evaluated and problem-solved our own creations to adapt and change them. Our finished products were fantastic and we really enjoyed working together.
P2F homework
P2F homework-
Spelling – In p2F this week we are looking at words with the ‘ar’ sound. As a class the children came up with some fantastic words using the sound. The words they selected for homework are:
jaguar, barn, jar, shark
The four common words are:
at, be, this, have
Reading- New reading books have been issued.
Maths- Children have a number worksheet to complete based on activities we are carrying out in class.
Today P2F worked with primary 6 to create a tower for stem week. The children worked really well together and had a fabulous afternoon.
STEM Week Day 1
Today we were very lucky to have two visitors to our classroom to talk about their jobs within STEM. First we had Eleanor Rathod who talked to us about her job in IT. She explained the different jobs she had in oil rigs and showed us how she helped to test new mobiles for phone companies. She showed us some old mobiles that only the adults recognised! We found it strange how they were so small! Next we had Martin Banks who is a mechanical engineer working with shipbuilding. He showed us how he had been part of building and testing a brand new aircraft carrier and talked about why he wanted to be an engineer. We loved seeing his pictures of the cars he made when he was younger! Thanks again to our visitors.
