Good Morning Primary 2!

Did you manage to do Joe Wicks P.E. lesson this morning? Here is the link again in case you need it; https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1

Spelling 

Miss Borsbey has typed up some sentences but missed out the tricky words! Can you copy these sentences into your jotter and add in the correct words? Remember your tricky words are: day, away, always, today.

French 

Let’s practise our numbers to 20 in French! I have posted the link below to the French number song that we all love in class! Can you go around your home and see how many different numbers to 20 you can find and then say them in French? Look in places like food labels, the TV screen, newspapers, books etc.

I hope you are all well and having a good day!

Science

Work with someone at home to learn the meaning of the terms ‘waterproof’ and ‘not waterproof’. In your blue jotter, write a definition of each term. Once you understand what each of these things means, create 2 lists in your jotter, one titled ‘waterproof’ and one titled ‘not waterproof’. Investigate different objects in your home and write each object under the correct heading. Which list has the most amount of items on it?

Reading 

Listen to today’s free reading from David Walliams at the link below. Answer the following questions in your jotters:

1.  What is your favourite part of the story? Why?
2.  If you were one of the characters in this story, who would you choose to be and why?
3.  If you were to change one thing in this story, what would it be?
4.  Would you recommend this story to a friend? What would you tell them about it?

Hello Primary 2!

Here are a few extra activities that you could try today as well as the work in your packs!

Writing

Have a look at this picture below. Can you use this picture as a setting for an imaginative story? Your story can be about anything you wish but remember it must have capital letters, full stops, finger spaces and adjectives in it. Use your blue jotters to write your imaginative story!

Numeracy

Use the following link that will take you to a random number generator. In the boxes, enter “between 1 and 20.” Click the “Generate number” button twice and add together the two numbers that have been generated. What is the biggest number you can make?

Art 

Research different flowers that bloom during Spring. Can you use what we know about different kinds of lines to choose a flower, draw a picture of it and then label the different parts of it? Remember to write down what kind of flower you have chosen!

 

Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning Primary 2!

I just wanted to let you all know that every day, David Walliams will be posting an extract from one of his books which is free to listen to! This is a great opportunity to listen to some fantastic stories and you could even use it in place of our class novel as he is the author we have been focusing on.

We had a fantastic time at Stirling Castle on Wednesday!

We got to see statues of lots of different people! We had the chance to try on pieces of armour – they were very heavy! We also had the chance to wear costumes and be different characters!

We saw different people dressed up who were telling us about their jobs in a castle and what it was like to live hundreds of years ago. We were very lucky as one of the actors showed us a real unicorn horn! She taught us that unicorn horns can cure people from poison!We also got to see the  King and Queen’s bedroom!

We started our tour in the Great Hall. The Great Hall is where the King and Queen went to eat. The more important you were, the closer to the King and Queen you got to sit! The Great Hall is also where the Castle staff slept at night time – there would sometimes be over 300 people in the hall sleeping!

We had a brilliant time and learned so much! Ask us about our favourite and least favourite part of our day when you see us!

We have had another busy week in P2!

World Book Day

Thursday was World Book Day! We had the chance to come to school in our pyjamas and bring our favourite book and teddy. Even Iron Man came to visit us! We really enjoyed sharing our books with our friends throughout the day.

At the end of the day, we had the chance to pair up with Primary 4 and share our stories with them. We loved reading each others book and spending time with new people. We even made some new friends!

Maths

We have been learning about money.

Lexie: “Money helps people to pay for things, you need to know how much money to use.”

Mia: “We have a shop in class with food that’s labelled with different prices and we need to get some money to pay for the food.”

Topic

We made a Coat of Arms this week.

Levente: “We drew our favourite things to show we are all different.”

Sarah-Louise: “People used a Coat of Arms to protect themselves so they knew who their enemies were.”

We also had a reply from Stirling Castle about our letters that we sent. We cannot wait to go on our trip next week!

Science

We have been learning about materials.

Ethan: “We had 4 pieces of paper each and used a crayon to do rubbings against different materials.”

Brendan: “Each piece of paper was different because we rubbed it on different materials.”

Particiaption Friday

Today was Participation Friday. During this session, we each designed a coaster to be produced and then sold at the Spring Fayre. Our coasters all feature a message of kindness, and we have been learning how this relates to our school value of nurture. Keep an eye out at the fayre for our fantastic work!

 

Numeracy 

We started learning about money this week.

Skye – “We were putting the coins in the right order”

Darby – “We tried figuring out which coins were behind each box.”

Writing

We collaborated in teams to use technology to research interesting facts about Stirling Castle and turn these into notes.

Lexie – “We were learning to find the important parts of a sentence.”

Sophia – “We researched facts about Stirling Castle.”

P.E.

We started creating a gymnastics sequence involving jumps, rolls and balances.

Mia – “We were doing different kinds of balances and rolls.”

Brendan – “We used collaboration to do different balances to create a sequence.”

Science

We have been investigating which materials are bendy and which are not bendy.

Charlie – “We had to pass a ball and say different materials.”

Ethan – “We went around the classroom to see what was bendy and what was not bendy.”

Topic

We looked at different jobs people did around a castle.

Isla – “I applied to be a Marshal because it looked fun!”

Levente – “I wanted to be a Watchman because I like swords.”

This week has been very short after the long weekend!

Numeracy
We have been continuing to learn about time. 

Tyler: "I'm good at time, I like that I challenge myself to get the correct answers."
Isla: "It's hard sometimes but I never give up."

Writing
We have been trying to use adjectives in our writing. 

Darby: "An adjective is a describing word."
Ethan: "Some adjectives are big, teeny and small."

RME
We have been learning about the Creation Story. 

Brendan: "We had to wear pictures and order ourselves to put the story in order."
Lucy: "Eve ate the fruit from the tree when she wasn't allowed to."

Art
We have been creating different kinds of lines by making 2D shapes. 

Aayan: "We had to use special dot paper to draw 2D shapes using a ruler."
