Hello P2/1

It’s just a short message today to say well done for all your hard work over the last term when you have not been able to come in to school.  I know that it has not been easy for you or your grown ups but you have all done  your best.

Thank you for watching the Story Time From Home videos which I originally was going to make just for you but thought it would be nice to share with all the P1-3 children.

Here is the link to the last Story Time from Home.

I would also like to say a big thank you for the lovely gifts and cards that I have received  – especially all the cat themed ones!

Please enjoy your summer holidays and take care to stay safe. I look forward to seeing you all safely back in school soon.

Miss McDermott

Good morning everyone, I hope you have had a nice week so far.

“You’re off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So get on your way!”

As we come near the end of Primary one and think about moving forward into Primary two, we know how well you will do. We know moving into a new class and new stage can make us feel a lot of different emotions.  Sometimes it make us a little nervous but remember there will be lots of support from teachers and other staff in the school. It might also make us feel excited to start a new adventure. You might even feel both of these emotions and that is ok too.

Here is a little story about how our body feels when we are nervous.

We know that you will take it all in your stride and show your new teachers how wonderful you are.

Remember

“Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”

This is one of my favourite quotes and it is one of the most popular quotes by Dr. Seuss, probably because it’s so true. There really isn’t anyone out that that’s more you than you are. So keep shining bright!

Here is a favourite story of mine that celebrates how we are all unique.

What makes you special? What makes you, you? What would your fish look like? Ive attached a little example below, but I’d love to see your own design. Maybe you could take it with you to primary two on your first day to show your new teacher.

The teachers have a little surprise for you tomorrow. It is linked to a special animal. I’m going to give you some clues to see if you can guess which animal it might be about.

1 – This animal lives in and around mountains in central Asia.

2 – The colour of its fur and spots on its body, help it to camouflage.

3 – It has thick fur to keep it warm.

4 – This animal is a meat eater.

5 – It has a long tail to help it balance.

Do you think you might know what animal it is? Maybe you could do a little bit of research.

Happy guessing.

Your Primary one teachers.

Good morning, everyone.

Can you believe today is the last Thursday of P2A?  It has been a very quick year!  I wonder what your favourite part of P2 has been?  I have loved teaching you and reading you lots and lots of stories.  Here are a couple for you to enjoy.

Have a lovely day and enjoy your last Thursday of P2A.

Good morning Primary 2B,

I hope you are all well. Mrs Boyle is loving hearing about all the sandwiches you are making at home. I have also heard about all the other tasty snacks and cakes you have been making.

I thought you might like this story about the Lighthouse Keeper and the pesky seagulls who keep stealing his lunch.

You might want to make to think of a disgusting sandwich that you would give to the seagulls. Yuk!

I have also included a link to help you draw a lighthouse . You could add in Mrs Grinling and the seagulls to your picture.

Have a fun day!

Good morning everyone. I hope you all enjoyed the sunshine yesterday, it was such a beautiful day!

Myself and Mr Brice really enjoyed seeing you all yesterday!  Sorry we missed some of you, you were probably out in the sun somewhere 😀 It took us 5 hours (19,000) steps to get round you all, I have very sore feet today, but it was worth it!!

Its going to be another beautiful day, maybe even hotter than yesterday! Here are some fun outdoor maths challenges you could try if you are out and about.

Have a great day!
