P2/1 Learning this week beginning 22nd February 2021

Welcome back class Primary 2/1.  You have settled in well to your routines this week and it’s been lovely to see everyone again.  This week we focused on overlearn of some of the numeracy and language learning we did during Remote Learning period and we also learned some new things.

Primary 1, in Language we learned our sounds sh, ch and th and practised writing these in our handwriting books.  In Numeracy we did more work on subtraction and made a giant flower with bugs for it and red crosses to mark out our takeaway numbers.  We used this method for our new subtraction books and we practised takeaways on our mini whiteboards too.

Primary 2, in Language we learned about when and how to use Question Marks and in Numeracy we did more work on Place Value and 2D shapes.  In Place Value we had a great conversation about representing the number 23 in cubes.  We discussed whether two cubes beside three cubes was 23.  We then explored how to represent 23 properly with cubes and began to understand the true value of 2 = 20.

Also, in Language, we started to learn our Days of the Week in French as well as overlearning these in English and our Months of the Year in English too.

We learned lots more about Chinese New Year and the ancient blue monster Nian who was scared of the colour red, fire, noise and bright lights – and that this is the reason why the Chinese use all of these at Chinese New Year e.g. firecrackers and loud drums.  We also talked about Fortune Cookies and tried out chopsticks.

We have started to learn about Fair Trade and how chocolate is made and we’ve also started reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl for our 5 week topic.

Thank you for your hard work, Primary 2/1.  Have a great weekend.

P2/1 Remote Learning

Primary 2/1,

You’ve had a great short week with some fun learning taking place.

Primary 1s you learned about Subtraction of Numbers and in Phonics you learned the ‘ie’ sound that is in tie, pie and flies.  You also learned counting to ten in French.

Primary 2s you learned about separating larger numbers into Tens and Ones and in Phonics you did more great work on your magic e words.  Some of you have also been doing great work on your Fry’s words and your reading.  Well done!

Have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing you all on Monday back at school.

Mrs Meikle

   

Thank You Primary 2A

Well done to everyone for all your hard work during remote learning. You have all put in so much effort to your learning and I continue to be impressed with all your amazing work every day. It is great that we were able to continue with our learning that we would have been doing in school and it has been amazing to see so much creativity. I am looking forward to continuing our learning journey when we go back to school on Monday.

Thank you also to all the parents and carers for your support on Seesaw. Your children wouldn’t have been so successful without your continued support and patience.

 

I am so proud of all of you and I am looking forward to seeing you on Monday. Stay safe and have a lovely weekend:)

Love from your very proud teacher,

Miss Marra

 

Matthew was working hard to sequence numbers from smallest to largest this week. Well done for your hard work Matthew:)

 

This is Isabella’s home-made play dough that she used to spell magic e words. Fantastic learning Isabella:)

 

Harry has been working hard to sequence numbers from smallest to largest. This is one of the “hot” tasks from this week. Well done for working so hard Harry:)

 

 

P2/1 Remote Learning week 8th-12th February

Well done on a fantastic week of learning!

Primary 1s, in Literacy/Phonics we learned a new sound ‘ee’ and practised sounding out cvc words with the sound ‘n’ such as nap, neck, nut and net.  In Maths we learned more about telling the ‘half-past’ time and we also learned about using Tally Marks correctly in Data Handling.  In Numeracy we had fun learning about working out the missing Addend which is a number that is added to another number.  In Health and Wellbeing we completed some activities learning more about the meaning of Respect and what makes a Kind Friend and in Science we learned about Forces and Push and Pull.

Primary 2s, in Literacy – Phonics and Spelling – we learned about words with magic e and an ‘o’ and also soft ‘c’ words.  In Reading Comprehension we worked hard on our Inference skills and in Writing we completed the ending to our imaginative story.  In Numeracy we learned about missing Subtrahends (a number to be  subtracted from another number) and we also learned about halves and quarters in Fractions.  We also learned more about division and how to make equal groups of 4.  In Health and Wellbeing we learned about what makes a Good Friend.

I’m really proud of all of your hard work.  Well done.

Another Great Week of Home Learning in P2A

Dear parents/carers,

What a fantastic week this has been! We have had lots of snow but there has still been so much effort with our home learning. In Literacy, we have been learning magic e words with an o and we have been learning to find information in a text in Reading Comprehension. I have been so impressed with your thoughtful answers to the inference questions too. You worked super hard in Writing this week and you wrote the ending to your imaginative stories. Well done for working hard to use capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and connectives.

 

In Numeracy, we learned more about fractions and making equal groups to divide by 4. There have been some amazing photos of your equal groups uploaded to Seesaw to show how hard you are working. There has been so much creativity and well done to everyone who has been working on the remote learning grid tasks too. Jaysiel deserves a mention for her very expressive performance of “Chokey Chant” from Matilda the Musical which was one of your Drama tasks on the grid.

 

Harris has been doing some fantastic word building to practise spelling magic e with an o. Well done for working so hard to read and write your words Harris:)

 

Isabelle has been working hard to describe arrays in Number Talks this week. Well done for your hard work Isabelle:)
Look at Frankie’s amazing efforts with this week’s STEM challenge from Mrs Beattie. This is so impressive, Frankie! Well done for working so hard and you have shown great teamwork with mum and Danny to create this heart structure. Fantastic work:)
This is Evie’s super division task. She worked hard to describe the equal groups and write down how many objects were in each group. Brilliant Numeracy work Evie:)
This really impressed me this week! Isla’s wrote a fantastic ending to her imaginative story with capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. She even used some connectives too. Well done for writing such a creative story and for really working hard to develop your confidence in Writing:)
Well done to everyone for all your hard work this week. I am so proud of you all. Thank you also to parents and carers for your continued support. Have a lovely holiday everyone:)

Dear Primary 2/1,

You’ve had a fantastic week of learning!  Well done on all of your incredible hard work.

Primary 1s, in Literacy we have been learning to build cvc words using our sounds and also learning a new sound ‘oo’.  We also did some work on learning our tricky/sight words.  In Numeracy we have been learning more about o’clock times and also more on adding within ten.  We have also enjoyed the stories The Very Busy Spider and Chrysanthemum to help with our Listening skills.  In Health and Wellbeing we learned about brushing our teeth and also about calm and relaxing breathing.

Primary 2s, in Literacy we have been learning to read and write magic e words with an ‘i’.  We also completed our exciting middle part to our imaginative story.  In Numeracy we started to learning about fractions and where these are in the real world.  We also did more work on missing addends and number sequences.  In Health and Wellbeing we were learning about how what a good friend is.  In STEM we enjoyed learning about different types of bridges and how to make one out of recycled materials.

       

 

 

 

Amazing Learning in Primary 2A

 

 

Wow! What an amazing week of learning we have had. Well done for all your hard work this week as always. I am so proud of all your efforts and your positive attitude towards your learning. This week, we have been learning to read and write magic e words with an i and we have also been working hard on Reading Comprehension. In Writing, we have been learning to write the midde of a story, following on from our introductions from last wek. Your stories are looking fantastic so far! I can’t wait to read your endings. In Numeracy, we have been working hard in number talks and we have been learning about fractions this week. You found some great examples of halves and quarters at home.

 

Here are a few examples of your wonderful work.

 

 

Jaysiel wrote a fantastic middle to her imaginative story with capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. She also used connectives and wrote great descriptions. Well done Jaysiel:)

 

Max worked hard to calculate the missing addends in Numeracy this week. He did a great job counting on to work out the answers. Well done for working hard on this Max and for creating some of your own missing addend problems.

 

Ollie worked hard on this magic e roll, write and read task. You worked hard Ollie and you managed to write and read some new magic e words too. Well done!

 

This is Evie’s creative approach to this week’s STEM challenge. It has been amazing seeing everyone working so hard to be creative with these challenges every week. This week, we had to build a bridge using construction or any other materials at home. Well done for thinking outside the box Evie! It looks like your bridge was definitely strong enough for Nala to stand on. Fantastic work!

 

Keep up your hard work everyone. Have a lovely weekend and I will see you all on Monday:)

 

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.

Mrs Meikle

We have been working so hard this week in Literacy, Numeracy, Health and Wellbeing and also on our remote learning grid activities. Our new sound this week was magic e with an everyone worked hard to practise reading and writing their words. In Writing, we wrote an introduction to an imaginative story and I was proud of everyone’s efforts with this. Our remote learning grid this week focused on a “Scotland” theme for “Scottish Week.” Here are some excellent examples of learning below.

 

Alex worked hard to practise spelling magic e words with his Lego. Well done for working so hard. I am very impressed with your amazing work with the Lego bricks:)

 

Everyone has worked so hard on writing an introduction to a story this week. Well done everyone:) This is Isabella’s introduction. She used capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. You also may spot a connective in her sentences. Fantastic work Isabella:)

 

Max worked really hard to divide by 3 this week and he applied his learning really well to pencil tasks. Well done for working so hard on this Max:)

 

Jasmine worked so hard to sequence these numbers in order from smallest to largest. Well done for you hard work Jasmine:) You sequenced all the numbers in the correct order.

This is just a small selection of some of your fantastic learning this week. Keep up your hard work and have a lovely weekend:)

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.
