Good Morning Primary 2B                                                            ,

I hope you are all well. I have enjoyed looking at all your lovely work. Keep sending it to myself or Mrs Mills so we can share in your learning.

Today we are continuing to work on 2D shapes and homes around the world. I have also been thinking about how we might be feeling just now. We might be feeling a bit worried about lots of things. Worry is a totally normal part of life. Worry can even keep us safe but worrying too much can stop us from doing things.

I found a good story about a little girl called Ruby who has a lot of worries.  Listen to the story then you can have a chat to someone in your family about any worries you may have. It helps to talk.

If we are worried we can talk to someone, find time to do some yoga and singing songs help.

I have found a Pokeman yoga you might like to join in with. Listen for the secret code word.

When I am worried I listen to music and sing along this always makes me happy and I forget about my worries .Try singing along to this I am sure it will make your family happy too.

I hope you have a fun day.

Mrs Boyle

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you are all well and ready for something that I have been missing  –  Mr Men and Little Miss stories!

Here is one of my favourite Mr Men stories.  I hope you enjoy it, too.  You could tell someone in your family all about your favourite part.

Have a good day and remember to be kind to yourselves and just do what fits in with your family.

Take care

Mrs Herbison

Good Morning Primary 2B,

I hope you are all well, I can see from your emails that you are all working really hard. This weekend was an exciting weekend for my husband as he ordered hair clippers so I could give him a haircut.  It was very funny and scary cutting his hair. He kept stopping me to check his hair. I did manage to cut it although I think he can’t wait for the barbers to open so he can get his hair cut properly.

This made me think about jobs that your might like to do when you grow up. What would you like to be? A vet, a nurse, a train driver, a scientist, a firefighter or work in an office. When I was little I wanted to be a nurse.  Mabye you can draw me a picture of what you would like to be when you grow up.

I found this story about growing up that I thought might give you some ideas.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp0h_1ZI_UM

This week we are learning about 2D shapes. Have you been on a 2D shape hunt yet? How many shapes did you find?

Have a lovely day I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Mrs Boyle

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you had a lovely day yesterday.  It has been so nice to hear updates from you about how you are getting on.  It just reminds me of how imaginative and creative you all are.  Thank you for sharing with me.

Today is National Numeracy Day 

Here are some fun activities you may want to choose to do.

You could also have a go at playing Hit the Button on Topmarks!  This is a fun game where you can challenge yourself.

This week’s learning grid asks you to research houses and homes in different parts of the world and then draw and label a house of your choice from a different country.

Here is a link to a PowerPoint which may give you some ideas.  Remember, these are suggested activities and you just do what fits in with your family.  There is no pressure to do everything!

Houses Around the World

Have a great day, everyone!

Mrs Herbison

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you are having fun learning about 2D shapes.

I have received some super photos of some of you finding lots of shapes in and around your house.  Keep up this super work.

Here is another fun 2D shape learning video for you to watch!

Have fun learning!

Primary 2/1,  2A and 2B Teachers

Good morning! I hope you are all well.

I wonder if you could help us by completing the survey on school meals at the link below?

Thank you, and have a good day!

Mrs Webster

Good morning, everyone!

What is your favourite 2D shape?  Did you make a Shape Collage?  Here are a couple of 2D shape collages we like.

Which one do like the best?  What shapes can you see?

Guess my shape:

I have 5 straight sides and 5 corners.  Which shape am I?

I have 6 straight sides and 6 corners.  Which shape am I?

You could ask someone in your family questions like this.  How many will they guess?

Here are some short videos on the BBC Bitesize website which tell you more about 2d shapes.

Just a reminder – here are the links to the PowerPoints and the information sheets:

• 2D Shape Properties
• everyday-2d-shapes
• Through the binoculars regular 2d shapes pptx
• 2D-shape-word-mat
• 2d shape flashcards

Have fun!

Primary 2 Teachers and Miss McD

Good morning, everyone!

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me over the past week.  It is always great to read and see what you have been doing at home with your families.  If you haven’t emailed me yet, please try to email today and let me know what you have been doing at home.

Although it was a little cooler yesterday, I hope you still managed to get outside to play, walk or cycle.  I wonder how many of you prefer to  go for a cycle and how many of you prefer to go for a walk?  You could draw a picture of which one you like the best and email it to me.  That’s quite tricky for me to decide as I love to walk and to cycle so I would have to draw a picture of me walking along the river path and a picture of me cycling along the river path!

We are learning the    qu   sound in our phonics this week.  Here is Geraldine the Giraffe to help you with this sound.

Remember there is a 2D Shape blog this week with links to help you learn about all the shapes.

I received an email yesterday with a super picture made from 2Dshapes.  I thought I’d share this with you today.

Can you name all the 2D shapes?

I also received an email telling me about someone in our class who made 2D shape flashcards and was teaching other family members all the shapes.  Fantastic shape work!

Have a great day, everyone!

Mrs Herbison

Good Morning Everyone!

How are you all today? I know lots of you are enjoying listening to Miss McDermott’s stories. Did you enjoy “Beware of the Bears”?

I wonder if you know any facts about bears? Perhaps you would like to do some research and see what you can learn. Here is a website that you might want to look at. Mrs Boyle and I would be interested to know what is your favourite bear and why.

https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/animals-and-nature/bears/

As we are learning about 2D shape this week you might want to try and make a bear picture using shapes. If you have a printer you could print out these templates. One uses 5 different shapes but if you would like more of a challenge you could try using 10 different shapes. If you don’t have a printer you could find some shapes to draw round to design your own bear.

build a shape bear 5 shapes

build a shape bear 10 shapes

Have fun learning and remember to try and contact us  once a week if you can, either to show us some of your great learning or just to say hello and let us know that you are well.
