Good morning Primary 2,  how good you are at listening ?

Today I am sending you a listening challenge which will also get you moving! Click on the link to hear an amazing violin player who will tell you about the challenge! You might need one or two tries as it’s quite fast and tricky! After you’ve tried it tell me what your favourite sound was, mine was the honking nose! Good listening!

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you are all well and enjoying this week’s topics.  I read some stories yesterday about robots and I thought you might like this link to The Mr Men Show “Robots”.  These new Mr Men stories are not my favourite but I thought you might like this one!

Here is a link to one of my favourite Mr Men stories – Mr Tickle.  This is one of the original stories which I like!

Which do you like best – the new stories or the original stories?

Have a lovely day!

Mrs Herbison

Good Morning, everyone!

I hope you all had a good day yesterday. When I finished work yesterday I went for my daily walk. I saw so many snails! I think they must have been enjoying the rain!

I can’t believe how quickly the trees are changing . I have lots of trees at the back of my house and over the last few weeks I have really enjoyed watching the squirrels playing and jumping from tree to tree. Every day now the trees seem to have more and more leaves and the squirrels are getting harder to spot.

  Here is a link to a little story that has lots of oi words. You could print it and colour all the words you find with oi or just read it on screen and point out or write down all the oi words you find in your jotter.

Here is a link to a story that you might like to read.

Have a lovely day,

Thanks to everyone who tried making the climbing bug. If you have not yet tried it look back and have a go. I know that P2 have a minibeasts topic right now so this next challenge might be a nice activity to try too.

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  I thought I’d share another of my favourite Mr Men stories – Mr Bump.  He has lots of accidents but it all works out in the end!  Tell someone your favourite part.

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

There are two other blog posts for all the Primary 2 children  –  one about our new topic, Minibeasts, and one about this week’s maths, 3D Shape.  Have a look at them for all the links to support your learning.

Here is a link to this week’s Learning Grid:     Learning Grid week 7

Have a fun day and just do what you can!

Take care,  Mrs Herbison

Good Morning

I hope you all had a good weekend and managed to get outside, even though the weather was not so good. On Saturday I went for a walk round the loch and on Sunday I walked along the canal and the River Avon. We are very lucky to live in a place where we have such lovely walks on our doorstep.

Here is this week’s learning Grid.

Learning Grid 18 -22 May

I have added a link to a phonics clip which will help you to practise blending words with the oi sound.

Good Morning, everyone!

I hope you are all well and have had a good week.  Today is Friday so I thought we would end the week on a happy note  –  with Mr Happy!

I hope you enjoy this story.  Please share your favourite part with someone who is as happy as Mr Happy!

I hope you and your families have a wonderful weekend.  Take care, be kind to yourselves and have fun at home.

Mrs Herbison

Good Morning, everyone!

Well done for all the fantastic learning you have been doing this week. Mrs Boyle and I have really enjoyed receiving e-mail updates from you and hearing about all the great work you have been doing.

Lots of you have enjoyed listening to and writing bear stories this week. Here is a link to a Cosmic Yoga workout based on one of my favourite bear stories.

Today is International Day of Families.

https://nationaltoday.com/international-day-families/

This is a day to celebrate how important our families are. It recognises that all families are different but they are all special. Now, more than ever, we need to remember how important our families are to us. Your family is doing a great job in helping and supporting you with home learning at the moment, so well done to all our fantastic families.

Have a lovely weekend.
