New Homework-Grid-Monday-23rd-November

The link for the new homework sheet is above.  It should be completed by Friday 4th December.

We hope the children are enjoying using the new ‘Read, Write, Count’ resources and have liked listening to the stories read by us on the blog.

The children in P2 have been very busy learning new knowledge and skills last week.  In Science, the children were able to create an electrical circuit which included a battery, lamp and switch.  The children found this very interesting and we may have some budding engineers! As part of our ‘Life in the Past’ topic the children were listening to music and performing some dance moves from the 1950s and 1960s.  There is a link on the homework sheet for children to show their families their groovy moves! The children were also learning about shopping in the past and wrote excellent imaginative stories about life for people in the home in the olden days.

In Numeracy, the children were learning to add on 10, 11 and 9 to a number.  In Maths, the children have been learning about weight and have been weighing objects in grams and kilograms.  In Literacy, the children were learning about alphabetical order, using the first letter.

Please return raffle tickets for the Christmas Prize Draw to school by Thursday 3rd December.

Thank you from,

Mrs Harris, Mrs Oliver and Miss Rafferty.

Good morning from Primary 2.  Here is some news about things we did last week.

In reading, we were developing skills for a new learning style called Reciprocal reading.  Last week we were developing prediction skills and this week we will be looking at summarising skills.

In writing, the children wrote imaginative spooky stories.  They used their description bubbles to add detail.  These was a real success and everyone enjoyed writing them.

In ICT, we have been working on logging on to the laptop, using individual usernames and passwords.  The children created a Word document, typed their name and changed the font, size and colour.  We will be developing these skills by typing more text and adding graphics.

In Maths, we are continuing to work on addition and measure.  On Friday, we will be going to the woods to measure some objects and distances using metre sticks.

On Friday, the children had a super morning participating in Halloween activities.  Everyone loved the craft  and goody bags so we would all like to say a big thank you to the PSA.  The children looked amazing and put a lot of effort into their costumes.

The homework sheet issued last week is for 2 weeks.  Please remember to have a look for the moon every night and record it on the sheet.  Were you able to see the full moon on Halloween?

Please return reading books every Friday.  This is important so they can be quarantined over the weekend.
