Happy new year from Primary 2

Happy new year to you all. Our first week back has been a very busy one. I loved reading the children’s stories about their Christmas break and how much fun they had. In maths we have been subtracting using a number line and getting used to counting backwards. We have also picked up 2D shape, building on our knowledge from primary one so that we can learn to appreciate the properties of 3D shapes soon.

We are embarking on a short topic for January to explore Scotland, the Scottish landscape, culture, food, poetry and songs. The children have made an impressive start learning their poems for the competition. Thank you for your continued support.

We are looking forward to hearing their best Scottish dialects next week.

Primary 1 update

Primary 1 this week were fabulous. They were all ready to learn. In sounds this week we learnt e and f. We also used our cat’s heads and tails to work out the first and last sound in words. We have been using what we know to blends sounds together. In writing we wrote about our favourite minibeast. These were fabulous to read.

In maths we have been learning to count forwards and backwards starting from different numbers. Some children had s lot of fun jumping on our large floor number line to count. Also we used butterflies to work out which ones were symmetrical. We now know that symmetry is having the same on both sides.

In gym we were practicing our balancing. We used bean bags in our heads and moved in different ways. We also travelled in different ways using equipment but keeping our balance all the way.

we also had the Halloween disco. It was lovely to see most of primary one having fun dancing at the disco.
