P2/1 Learning

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.

Primary 2/1 – Primary 2 Spelling and Homework

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

Primary 2/1 Learning

Primary 2/1 have been working very hard since returning from our October break.  Here are examples of a few things they’ve been up to.

Literacy                                                                                                                                                 Primary 1 have started their third set of sounds and learned ‘g’ and ‘o’ this week (‘o’ is sounded as in ‘on and off’).  Primary 1s are enjoying using their bank of sounds to create words too and we had a lot of fun doing this together. Primary 2 have been learning the sounds ‘ai   ay   a_e’ this week and worked hard on their activities around this including making a table of words for each sound.  They are also enjoying their twice weekly reading group sessions where they have the opportunity to think about prediction as well as fluency. 

P2 Spelling ai and ay 26th October 2020

These are the words we used for this week’s sounds.  These can be practised at home too.

French                                                                                                                                              Primary 2/1 have enjoyed being introduced/reintroduced to French and we’ve touched on/revised Greetings this week.  We have the help of a French puppet called Tibo to liven up the lessons!

Numeracy                                                                                                                                        Primary 1 and Primary 2 have enjoyed their separate Number Talks activities in the mornings.  This is a warm-up numeracy activity which follows a set of rules to encourage mental maths strategy thinking and uses discreet hand signals in order that students are not distracted by others putting their hands up.  We also discuss any mistakes in a positive manner as we can use these to deepen our understanding of numbers.  Primary 2s are also learning about addition strategies and understanding number sequences where we practised counting in 10s.

Science                                                                                                                                                This term with Mrs. Beattie P2/1 have started to learn about Water and how this can change from one form to another.  On Thursday the children had an outdoor lesson using a nature walk around the school playground to look for examples of where water is found and any examples of this changing form.

Health and Wellbeing                                                                                                                      We are learning more about our new toolkit for managing our emotions.  This is called Zones of Regulation and the children can choose from four coloured zones to put their name in.  We have Green for happy/calm, Yellow for worried/frustrated, Blue for sad/sick/bored and Red for anger/being out of control.  We will continue to work more on our understanding of this and what strategies we can use to self-regulate should we need to feel calm.

P2 Homework Grid                                                                                                                                This has been also been posted in SeeSaw at the beginning of the week.    All children should now have access to Seesaw to see the homework grid. If not, please can you get in contact as soon as possible to resolve this.   Homework will run on a two week basis from Monday 26th October to Friday 6th November.  Further information on Sumdog and Reading Diaries next week.

Good afternoon parents/carers,

We have had a super start to our Primary 2 journey! We have had lots of changes take place in our school life however we have coped extremely well and have shown fantastic resilience.

We have been learning lots of new things across all of our curricular areas and having lots of fun whilst doing so. One of our favourite activities was a STEM challenge set by Miss Walkingshaw. Miss Walkingshaw asked us to create our very own paper plate straw maze. We were provided with a list of things we could use:

1 pair of scissors

1 role of cello tape

1 paper plate

4 paper straws

We did an amazing job and are very proud of how they turned out!

Have a lovely weekend and keep safe.

Miss Walkingshaw
