Good morning everyone 🙂
I hope you all had a great weekend with your families🌈 I would love to hear what you got up to. It’s our last full week of term and your last full week as Primary 2! Can you believe you are almost big Primary 3s? This week I will be back in Room 4 having a big clear out, It’s very quiet without you all!

Spelling
Click the spelling tab at the top to find activities you can do to help your child learn  their words.
As this week is the last full week of term, I won’t be providing new spelling words. All of the taught phonemes and common words are in the tabs at the top of the blog. If your child wants to work on their spelling, pleasure consolidate the words that have been taught.
CHALLENGE ACTIVITY – Ask your child to write a sentence for each word. Remind them to use V.C.O.P. (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, Punctuation) to uplevel their sentences. Here are some ‘sentence stretching ideas’.
Reading
Personal Reading (20 mins each day) Remember you can access lots of online stories by clicking the reading tab at the top of the page.
Use your personal reading book to choose from the activities below:
- Design a new front cover
- Summarise the beginning, middle and end of your book.
- Write a new ending for your story
- Draw a character from your story, describe them by labelling it with good adjectives
- Find 3 tricky words and use a dictionary to help you find the meaning of them.
Writing
Positives of Lockdown. Click the link below to find an activity all about the positive things about being stuck at home for the last little while. It might be that you got to spend a lot more time with your family, you got to play in the garden lots or you learned a new skill! One of my positives is that I finally managed to do lots of jobs that I never had the time to do 🙂
