Good morning P2B,
I hope you are all well.
Please find attached a copy of Homework Grid 3. I was very impressed with all of the homework from the previous grid so please keep it up. You have all done such a super job!
Choose any two squares from the grid to complete over the next two weeks. You can complete more than that if you wish, however 2 squares are the bare minimum required.
Any questions, please get in touch.
Regards,
Miss Walkingshaw
Primary 2/1 have been working very hard this week for Mrs Turner.
Literacy
Primary 1 have been revising their phonics this week and Primary 2 have been learning the sound ‘oo’ with words such as look and book. Primary 1 have also been practising their blending of sounds to sound out words. The hula hoop jumping activity for this was much enjoyed.
Numeracy and Mathematics
Primary 2 have been doing more work on learning their doubles and near doubles. They are also learning to count in twos. Primary 1 have been learning more about Number Bonds to 10, for example, different ways to make 10. 6+4, 7+3 etc. They have also been introduced to 2D shapes.
Road Safety and Book Week
It’s been a fun week for P2/1 with lots of fun activities to learn about Road Safety and reading opportunities for Book Week. Primary 1 took home their BookBug gift bag and Primary 2 took home their Read Write Count gift bag. We hope that children and parents enjoy these gifts from the Scottish Book Trust.
Pirate Topic
The children enjoyed painting parrots as part of their learning about pirates and these have been displayed on the wall.

It’s Book Week!
On Monday everyone was excited to see all the super things in our Read, Write, Count bags.
We have looked at the books called ‘Look Up!’ and ‘Wow! Animals’ and we discussed fiction and non- fiction books.
We really loved the tape measure and used it to measure things in the class and out in the playground at playtime. This will help us to learn how to estimate accurately.
We played with card sets and made up some games of our own.
There are lots of great ideas and activities in the Parent Club booklet to help children extend their learning. You may also like to look at the Scottish Book Trust website.
Happy Reading Everyone!

Hello Primary 2s in my P2/1 class,

P2 Spelling oo 16th November 2020
Please also continue to support your child to read Fry’s sight words at home. They do not need to practise writing these words until they are confidently able to read them.
Thank you for your continued support.

Please also continue to support your child to read Fry’s sight words at home. They do not need to practise writing these words until they are confidently able to read them. Please encourage your child to bring their highlighted Fry’s words sheet to school each week so new words can be highlighted.

Dear Primary 1s and Primary 2s, I am missing you all very much and I look forward to being back in school. I will be in touch via Seesaw shortly too.
Here are the spelling words for this week for the Primary Twos. They are learning sounds“oi” and “oy”. Some pupils are also practising CVC words.
Please support your child to read and write these words at home. The “Create an Activity” task on the homework grid provides opportunities for the children to use a strategy of their choice to practise their words e.g. painting, writing in felt pen, writing in chalk outside, going on a word hunt around the house etc. I attach the Homework Grid for this week and next week.
With warm wishes,
Mrs. Meikle
P1 are very busy learning the next set of sounds from Jolly Phonics, g,o,u,l,f,b, and starting to recognise ‘tricky’ common words that we can’t sound out like ‘the’ and ‘of’.
Look out for letters in bags next week showing the sounds and actions to go with them.
In maths, we’ve been learning number bonds eg what two numbers go together to make ten? We’ve also been learning to recognise, say, order and write our numbers. You could try practising this at home too!
At the beginning of this term, the boys and girls in each class were asked what they would like to learn about. Every class voted for an area in their classroom to be turned into something new… The boys and girls came up with some amazing ideas. Just look at what they decided to do!
P1b decided to build a tree house. They’ve been learning about how trees grow, what trees look like in different seasons and labelling parts of a tree. They’ve also had great fun reading and looking at the pictures inside the tree house. Thanks to Mrs Hay for all her help!
P1a voted for a doctors’ surgery…
They’ve had great fun making appointments, finding out about different parts of the body and looking at pictures of x-rays.
P1c chose to make a vet practice. They have been taking x-rays of the animals on their x-ray machine and want to find out what the inside of a cat looks like!
The x-ray machine.
Patients are waiting their turn.
P2/1 chose to make a Post Office. They’ve been learning about the journey a letter makes, weighing items and sorting the post into small, medium and large letters. They’ll also be learning about continents, as part of their ‘Pirate’ topic.
Next week is Road Safety Week. We’ll be learning how to stay safe crossing the road and cycle safety.
It’s also Book Week next week. We’ll have lots of fun learning activities to go with the books from the Scottish Book Trust. Look out for your Bookbug Bag gift next week. You may like to look at the Scottish Book Trust website to get some ideas for home.
