P2/1 Remote and Classroom Learning

Well done to all of Primary 2/1 for such hard work this week.  I enjoy seeing the one or two of you in class each week and all the rest of you on Seesaw.  Thank you for all of your photos and videos as well as your hard work – these give me so much joy to see.

Primary 1 have been working hard in learning to tell the time.  We started with ordering days of the week then months of the year before learning about the analogue clock and the o’clock hours.  We had fun making our own clocks with paper plates in class and digitally on Seesaw.  We have also been learning a new sound ‘wh’ and been doing lots of activities to consolidate our learning in this.  We enjoyed our Listening and Talking activities around different stories; Grumpy Cat and The Listening Walk.

Primary 2 have been working very hard in reading, writing and Numeracy.  We have been learning the magic e sound and been using our spelling words and activities to learn this more.  There have been some fantastic photos of spelling work where no pencils or papers were used at all!  In writing we learned about how to write a story and that there is a beginning, middle and end. This week we started our beginning and we introduced our characters and set the scene.  In numeracy we challenged ourselves and started to learn the three times tables and we used objects from home to show how we can separate them into three equal groups.

 

Keep up the great work, Primary 2/1.

Primary 2/1 Remote and Classroom learning

Well done Primary 2/1 on a super effort on Seesaw and in the classroom.  Primary 1s, in literacy, we have been learning the sh, ch and th sounds and you’ve done a fantastic job on this.  In numeracy you’ve been learning about measure and ordering from shortest to longest and measuring using cubes.  Primary 2s, in literacy, you’ve been learning the soft ‘g’ sound and also working on your reading comprehension skill of inference.  In numeracy, you’ve been working on separating objects into equal parts which is an introduction to division.  In French we were learning about parts of the body and in class we managed to learn ‘Head, shoulders, knees and toes’ in French.

Keep up the great work everyone.  We’re really proud of you.  Mrs Meikle.

Primary 2/1 – P2 Phonics and Spelling

Good morning,

Please find attached our new sounds and spelling for this week:   ‘igh’ and ‘y’.  Some of our children are practising cvc words for spelling but all are learning the new sounds for this week together.

Please support your child to practise reading and writing these words at home.  Try to  focus on sounding out each sound then blend the sounds together.  If the children are confident reading and writing the words they may wish to write sentences with their words to challenge them further.

These have also been posted on Seesaw for you too.

P2/1 Learning

Dear Parents and Carers,

Primary 2/1 have been working hard this week and are also very excited about the Christmas period (and a special daily visit from a mischievous Elf called Jingle).

Numeracy

Primary 2s are learning about Arrays and finding different ways to experiment with this using the Smartboard, counters, whiteboards and Numicons.                  Primary 1s have been introduced to more Mathematics and learning about Weight and the concepts of Lighter and Heavier.  The children have enjoyed using classroom objects to experiment with this and deepen their learning.

Literacy

Primary 2s have been using different techniques to practise their spelling words. Primary 1s have been learning the sounds ‘w’ and ‘v’ and been trying out more cvc (consonant vowel consonant) words e.g. van and win etc.

Social Studies

In Topic Primary 2/1 are enjoying learning about Pirates and made a super effort in creating their own Treasure Maps after learning about the saying          ‘X Marks The Spot’ and how this was made popular by Robert Louis Stevenson in his famous book Treasure Island from 1883.  The children are keen to read this book when they are older.  The children added great detail to their maps, such as, volcanoes, bridges, rivers, palm trees etc.  The children then crushed their sheets to make it look ‘authentic’ and we discussed this fantastic word too!

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.

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.

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
