P2 Home Learning Sway

Hello all,

I wanted to repost the link to the Home Learning Sway for P2 as I’ve just discovered not everyone is aware it’s here.

P2 Sway

There is a brief overview included in the Sway that should explain how we plan to use it and what you can expect. However, if you have any questions at all, please do get in touch!

Good morning P2!

Hello again boys and girls.

It was lovely to see you all yesterday and I really was impressed with how grown up and sensible you all were. There were a lot of new things to remember and you tried so hard to make sure we were being as safe as possible. Well done!

Here are a few wee activities you might want to do today while you are at home.

Task 1

Listen to the story Grumpy Frog by Ed Vere.

After you have watched the story, talk to a grown up about your favourite part. Which bit did you like and why? Do you ever feel grumpy? What do you think might happen to the frog after the story?

You could draw a detailed picture and try to write a sentence or a word to help describe what you have drawn.

Task 2

Can you take a walk or go into your garden with an adult and play eye spy? What did you spy?

How many animals can you find?

Count how many different things you spied? (Make this trickier by counting in 2s, for example. You could add or take away objects as well).

Task 3

Count how many star jumps you can do in 1 minute.

How many hops can you do in 1 minute?

Task 4

Find stones or twigs and write your name or some of our common words from last year.

Remember, Mrs Gorman is in tomorrow but I am already looking forward to seeing you all again next Wednesday.

P2 Transition Booklet

Good morning new P2s!

I hope you are all feeling excited about coming back in August but I’m sure some of you are probably feeling a little nervous as well. This is completely normal! To help you feel a little less worried, I have attached a P2 transition booklet. It has lots of information and pictures about next year. Hopefully it will help you feel a bit better.

We are really looking forward to seeing you all again in August. Have a wonderful summer everyone!

 

P1’s Lockdown School Trip!

Good morning P1,

Well, here we are nearly at the end of our P1 journey and what a journey it has been! It was lovely to see so many of you yesterday but before we break for the summer holidays, we thought it would be nice to go on a virtual school trip to the zoo!

 

Edinburgh Zoo have 6 different live cameras at the moment so you can see lions and koalas as well as pandas and two different species of penguin. Have a look and see what you can spot!

Of course, seeing as we’re going on a virtual trip, you could always go further afield… San Diego Zoo has a fantastic array of live web cams including  hippos, platypuses and baboons! Why not take a trip to the States ?

Today could be like a school trip even when you are at home. Have a fun day at the zoo Primary 1!
