Good Morning Primary 2B,

I hope you all had a lovely day in the sun yesterday. I went for a long walk along the canal. I saw lots of the ducklings who are getting bigger every day.

Today I am sharing some of your pictures of  amazing Robot models you have sent. Myself and Mrs Mills love when you send us your pictures of all the fun things you have been doing at home. We love to see your stories, models, maths work and crafts.

Have fun learning at home!

Mrs Boyle

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday and spent lots of time  outdoors enjoying our lovely weather.  I enjoyed spotting lots of different minibeasts in my garden.  Have you seen any minibeasts when you have been outside?

This story always made me laugh when we read it in class!  I hope you enjoy watching it today.

We also have a P2  Health and Wellbeing blog for you to look at today.

Have a lovely day.

Mrs Herbison

Good Morning Primary 2B,

I hope you are all well and have been enjoying the lovely sunshine. I have been in my garden and going lots of long walks.

This week we are learning about symmetry and while I was on my walks I noticed how many things around us are symmetrical. If you have time perhaps you can make a list of objects you can see in the house and outside that are symmetrical . With some help you can also look at the fruit and vegetables we eat. Lots of fruit and vegetables are symmetrical. Get searching and see how many you can find.

I would love to hear how many you found?

Have fun on your symmetry hunt and if you’ve time remember to have a look at this week’s health and wellbeing challenge which is on a separate post.

Mrs Boyle

Here is the Health and Wellbeing Challenge for this week.

This activity is designed to help your child develop his/her knowledge, skills and confidence to help them respond safely to risks they may encounter online.

Learning Outcomes

• I am aware of and able to express my feelings and am developing the ability to talk about them.
• I can show ways of getting help in unsafe situations and emergencies.

Activity 1:  Watch Jessie & Friends- Episode 2

 Find the Jessie & Friends cartoons at  https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/jessie-and-friends-videos/
 Watch Episode 2: Sharing Pictures with your child.
 Use questions to chat about the cartoon.

For example:
o How did lots of people end up seeing the pictures?
o What made Mo feel sad?
o How did the friends get help when they needed it?
o What did Miss Humphrey say she would do to help?

 Finish by watching the song again and having a sing-along!
Note: If your child wants to watch Episode 1 too, do watch it with them! It’s aimed at younger children, but it’s still fun to watch.

Activity 2:  Draw a character
 Ask your child to draw a picture of their favourite character singing the funny tummy song.
 Ask them to include their favourite lyrics from the song on their drawing.
 Remember – we’d love to see your work!

Good morning Primary 2,

Have you ever wished you had a Robot?

Or   that you were a Robot?            

What would you look like?

What would you sound like?

How would you move?

Here is a song called I am a Robot for you to listen to and enjoy. There are lots of actions and there  is a bit in the song for you to make up your own robot moves!

The robot in the song says,      beep beep beep beep bop!

When this bit plays clap the rhythm of the words. What would your robot say? Try singing the song with your own robot words and rhythm and your robot moves! Let me know how you get on!

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you are well and enjoyed our lovely weather yesterday.

I thought I would share this photograph with you.  I took it as I was walking along the river.  Can you see the line of symmetry?

Here is a story about someone who lives in Sleepyland.  Can you guess who it is?

Have a lovely day.

Mrs Herbison

Good Morning, everyone.

I hope you all had a good day yesterday.

Here is a very short story which helps you to practise the ue sound. You can always mute the sound and try and read it by yourself.

You might also like to listen to this story. I know lots of you might have heard it before.  In the title there are 3 different spelling patterns that make the same sound.

I know that you are all working hard and doing what you can.  I hope you enjoy whatever activities you choose to do today.

Have a lovely day.

Mrs Mills

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and managed to get outside even though it was very windy!

This week’s digraph is   ue   and here is Geraldine the Giraffe to help you learn this.

Try to have a look at two of our other blog posts for Primary 2 children  –  one about Minibeasts and one about this week’s maths, symmetry.  They will have links to support your learning.

I’m sure none of you are like this Mr Man character – Mr Messy!

I hope you all have a lovely day.

Mrs Herbison

Good morning, everyone!

Have fun learning about symmetry this week!

P2/1, P2A and P2B Teachers

Good Morning, everyone.

This week we are learning about Butterflies.

We have attached a Butterfly  Powerpoint for you to look at.

butterflies powerpoint

This youtube video will help you to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly.

Here is another clip which might help you choose some butterfly facts for your Fact File.

https://youtu.be/FUEeu4moxzM

Can you draw or make a life cycle of a butterfly?  Here is one example. I am sure you will have your own creative ideas. We would love to see them.

In Maths this week we are learning about symmetry. The Maths blog has information on how to create a symmetrical butterfly. You could colour or paint a butterfly, you could draw round your hands or use painted hand prints or even find some things outdoors to make a butterfly picture. Here are some ideas to help.

One of our P.2 pupils shared this activity on how to create your own Superbug.  We thought some of you might like to try it too.

Enjoy your learning and share it with us if you can.
