Good evening, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Homework and news as follows:

Homework

Reading – new reading books out this week.  Running records will be continuing to be carried out this week for reading levels for Primary 3.

Spelling – please look at the first 100 words that the children were given last week.  The highlighted words were ones the children found tricky.

Animal factfile homework – We will be hearing these presentations on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Assembly words – keep practising these for Wednesday.

News

Our Primary 2 assembly is on Wednesday 20th June this week.  It starts at 11am.  A letter went out on Friday to say that pupils should wear summer clothes for the assembly on Wednesday.  This can be shorts and t- shirts/ summer dresses etc.  These clothes should be brought into school on Wednesday morning in a plastic bag marked with your child’s name.  The children will change into these clothes before the assembly and change back into their uniforms after the assembly has taken place.  We can’t wait to perform for you all.

The children’s learning journey evidence app has been emailed home.   Please check to make sure you received it.  If not pop a note in the diary with your current email and I will send this to you as soon as possible.  I hope you enjoy looking at all of the work from this half of the school year.

This week we will be evaluating our targets from our booklets.  These will be sent back home for you to see.

This week the children will start to bring home their work.  If possible, children should bring in a plastic bag for this work.  Thank you in advance.

Falcons have an own clothes day on Friday 22nd June for having the most house points.

Have a great week and thank you for all of your support.

Good evening and apologies for the late update!

You will have seen from homework that our spelling rule this week is ‘or’ as in ‘horse’ or ‘cord’. This will be the last week of spelling homework.

Reading books have been given out. Next week will be the final week of reading book homework. Many of the children have moved up a level, so make sure to give them lots of time with their new books.

There will be no more maths homework this term. Please keep practicing number bonds with your child at home and use links previously posted for games and videos. I can repost them in a separate post for those who wish it 🙂

The end of term summer assembly will be on Wednesday 20th June and tickets were given out last week. The children will be perfoming some songs for you and will be telling you some of the things we have been learning this year. They were given their words home on Monday which they should learn as quickly as possible. Thank you for your support with this.

Thank you also for your generous donations towards our Sustainable Africa Day. The children were super and it looks like we raised lots of money for Miss Cauley’s amazing journey this summer.

Thank you as always for your continued support.

Good evening, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Homework and news as follows:

Homework

Spelling – This week our new sound is oy as in toy and boy.

The children will also receive their spelling lists of common words.  The words that are highlighted in orange are the ones that they struggled a little with in our big common word spelling quiz.  These can be practised at home to give them a good grounding for primary 3.  Some of the spelling grid acitivites can be used to practise these.

Reading – New reading books will be given out this week.   I will continue to complete running records with the children this week and next week to get a final reading level for going into Primary 3.

Wordwalls will be checked this week on Thursday 14th June.

Maths – This week will be the planned quick addition I didn’t get out last week for homework.

News

We had such a lovely trip to Calderglen Country Park last week.  The children behaved exceptionally well and joined in with all of the days activities well.  They were a credit to Bishopton Primary.  Well done.  Pictures will go up this week on the blog.

On Tuesday 12th June, Primary 2 are hosting an Africa day for the pupils in school.  P2R will be organising the African cafe for the children.  They will also have an opportunity to try some sustainable games made from recycled materials and try some of the fruits.  This is to help raise funds for Miss Cauleys trip to Africa and a donation is welcome if possible on the day.

The end of term summer assembly will be on Wednesday 20th June and tickets were given out last week.  The children will be perfoming some songs for you and will be telling you some of the things we have been learning this year.  They will get their words home tomorrow which they should learn as quickly as possible.  Thank you for your support with this.

Have a great week.

Hello!

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend and have enjoyed some relaxation time. Please see below for class news and updates:

Spelling:

This week our sound is ‘nk’ as in think, drink and wink. Children have been creating some super new spelling words with their sounds in class. Please remember to practise common words, too. We are beginning to come across these more and more in our reading books.

Reading:

New reading books will be issued this week.

Maths:

We will be discussing the timing of events and activities in class this week. Instead of issuing a homework sheet regarding this, I will place a list of ideas below that you and your child can use to discuss the concept of time:

*Stand up when you think 5/10/30/60 seconds have passed – which are longer/shorter

*Set the timer on your tablet/watch/phone and measure how many minutes or seconds your favourite programme is on TV for. Does it have a break?

*How many star jumps/skips can you do in a minute?  Could you do more or less in 30 seconds?

News:

Class Assembly: Our class assembly is on Wednesday 20th June from 11am – 12noon. All children have been given their tickets. Please pop a note in the diary or let me know if there are any issues regarding this. Your child will receive their words in their book bag tomorrow. Please practise these as best you can – I’m sure the children will use their best storytelling voices 🙂

Africa Day: Primary 2 have been working very hard over the last week to design their own games made from sustainable materials – most of which I will have access to in Uganda. Thank you to all those who handed in jars, cardboard and anything else – they have been gratefully received! We will host the rest of the school on Tuesday 12th June as they try out our games in an attempt to win prizes!

If you would like to have a go on a game other than your own please remember to bring your donation.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support regarding this – I have been blown away by the children’s efforts in class and the donations that continue to come in.

Have a great week ahead and as always, thank you.

Miss Cauley

Good morning,

Homework

Spelling: Our sounds this week are oy & oi (boy, oil). Remember to keep going over common words from the list handed out during parent’s night.

Maths: This week, the children can play this computer game to practice their mental agility. They can choose their topic and level. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Reading: Reading books will be handed out as normal this week. I loved seeing the books the children brought in last week.

Fact Files: The class will be given a fact file piece of homework this week too. The format is something we do in class every week, so they will be familiar with it, and the children will be presenting their fact files from the 18th June.

News

We have our school trip on Tuesday 5th June.  Children should wear their red polo shirt and comfortable clothing and shoes.  Please apply sunscreen if it is warm that day as we will be outside.  Packed lunches should be in a plastic bag unless you have requested a school packed lunch.   Children will leave for the trip at 9:30 and will return to school before the end of the school day.

Thanks for your continued support. Have a great week!

Miss B

Evening everyone! I hope you have had lovely weekend. Please see below for homework, news and class updates.

Spelling – our sound this week is ‘or’ as in horse and for.

Reading – reading books will be given out this week. Read and munch will be on Thursday.

Maths – As we are nearing the end of Primary 2 I will begin to give out revision tasks as homework. These will focus on number work, tens and units amd a variety of topics we have covered across the year.

Factfile – for our last large piece of homework this term children should complete a factfile on an African animal of their choice. More information will come home tomorrow.

News:

Class trip: On Tuesday we will visit Calderglen Park as part of our topic on Africa. Children should wear their red Bishopton Primary polo shirt and their own choice of trousers/shorts/leggings. As the majority of the day will be outdoors and active, I would ask that all pupils please wear comfy clothing and shoes.

Packed lunches should be in plastic bags. We have worked so hard this term and cannot wait to see the animals and play some outdoor games!

Sustainable Africa Day: On June 12th we will host Sustainable Africa day across the Primary 2 classes. Pupils from P2C have designed their own games and, having spent some time this weekend road testing the protypes, I think we are in for a great day! If you have any used jam jars, cereal boxes or other cardboard or recycled products, please continue to send them our way!

Have a brilliant week and as always, thank you for your invaluable support!

Miss Cauley

Good evening,

I just wanted to share my praises with the whole of Primary 2 for being such fantastic sports people during yesterday’s sports day. It was wonderful to see the children cheer on for their friends, regardless of house, and to see lots of great achievements.

We decided that we are all winners in P2B, so we ended our day by designing our own medals. They look great!

Miss B

Good morning,

Homework:

Spelling: This week we will look at the sound ‘ou’ as in ‘house’ and ‘mouse’. As you all have your child’s common words list there will no longer be common words in the homework.

Maths: I will be giving out a blank Big Maths Beat That this week. The children have to answer as many questions as they can within 30 seconds.

Reading: There will be no reading books sent home this week. Instead, it would be great for children to bring in a book from home that they can read independently for read and munch and ERIC times. If the children wish they can choose books from our class library.

News

Sports Day: It’s time for Sports Day already! All being well weather wise, our Sports Day celebrations will take place on Wednesday. Please ensure your child has sunscreen applied in the morning and a sun hat if needed. The Primary 2 slot at the ROF field is between 11am and 12noon. Parents are invited to watch the traditional races during this time. We are still in need of a parent helper to help walk with our class to the field. If you’d like to help, please let me know at the door or pop a note in your child’s book bag.

Trip to Calderglen: Thank you so much for returning packed lunch slips/payment for the trip on Tuesday June 5th. Just a reminder that the cost of the trip is £4. Please let me know if the packed lunch form has been misplaced so I can issue you with another one.

It was lovely discussing your child’s progress with you at last week’s meetings. Thank you so much for your support. Have a great week.

Miss B
