Coming Soon!! The Really BIG READ ALOUD!

Calling all parents and carers!

We need your help!

As part of our Reading Schools Silver Award Accreditation we are hoping to raise the profile of reading with families.

Lots of research has shown that continued reading aloud to children even after they can read on their own, improves reading and listening skills and academic performance. It is relaxing and wonderful for bonding.

We would appreciate it if you could participate in Our Really BIG READ ALOUD! Which will take place from Tuesday 24th May to Thursday 2nd June.

 

We are hoping that over the next 2 weeks families could  find time to fit in 5 or 10 minutes of reading aloud together …at least 3 times each week if possible.

If your child can read independently you can share the reading together. It doesn’t need to be a book. It could be a comic, newspaper, magazine. It could be a recipe if you are baking or cooking together.. or the instructions for a game or model. And we know  how much everyone likes a story being read to them.. even our senior pupils.

It would great if you could take a photo of your family reading time.  You may see classes will have a post on their Seesaw or Teams page about reading for enjoyment at home.

Thank you for your support.

Happy Reading Everyone!

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.

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:)

P2A Remote Learning

You have been working so hard on your learning at home Primary 2A! I have been so impressed with your hard work on Seesaw and in class this week. In Literacy, we have been learning to read and write soft g words. You all worked so hard to write a fantastic description of a family member this week. I saw lots of brilliant connectives which was our Success Criteria challenge. Next week we are going to begin writing an imaginative story.

In Numeracy we have been learning to make equal groups. You all know this means you were dividing and this week, we have been learning to divide by 2. You used concrete materials at home to practise sharing equally and I was impressed with how hard you all worked on this task. We have also continued with our number talks too.

I am glad so many of you asked for more French target tasks and you all put in so much effort to your French learning this week. I have loved seeing everyone being so creative in your learning. Here are some examples of your amazing work on Seesaw.

Alex worked really hard to build a house for the Three Little Pigs. This was Mrs Beattie’s STEM challenge this week. Super effort Alex!

 

Isla used her nail varnish collection to spell soft g words. I love her creativity and she has a very impresive collection. Super spelling Isla:)

 

Harry read this book himself at home this week. I am very proud that you were practising your reading Harry and choosing to read a book for enjoyment:)

Jaysiel worked hard to sequence numbers from smallest to largest in Numeracy. This was a great challenge and you could order all the numbers in the correct order. Well done:)

 

Have a great weekend everyone:)

Primary 2A Phonics

Good afternoon,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Please see below for this week’s Phonics sounds. We are learning “ou” and “ow” in class week. Please support your child to practise reading and writing these words at home. In class, we focus on sounding out to 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.

Spelling Words ou and ow words

Thank you for your continued support.

Primary 2A Phonics

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Please see the Spelling words for each group below. This week, our Phonics sound is oo and some children also continue to practise reading and writing CVC words. Please support your child to read and write these words at home.

Spelling Words oo

 

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.

 

Thank you for your continued support.
