P2 learned all about how to stay safe online by listening to Buddy the Dog’s internet safety story.
Buddy taught us a song to help us remember how to stay safe.

P2 – Learning about Scotland
As part of their Scots focus, Primary 2 has been looking at the work of Scottish Artist, Charles Rennie Macintosh. The class created a pencil drawing of the famous rose design by the artist.
We have also been reading a Scottish book about a cat who lives in Morningside called “What Maisie did next” by the author, Eileen Paterson. We were able to identify Scottish vocabulary in the text and the class designed a new kilt for Maisie to wear!
The children all performed their Scots poems in class, speaking clearly and confidently. Well done to Emma and Iona, who have been chosen to perform their poems at the Scots Assembly tomorrow. Good luck!
P2 Poetry Home Learning
Poems will be sent home on Wednesday 8th January
Scots Focus Homework – due Friday 17th January
As part of our Scots Focus in school, your child has been asked to choose a Scots poem to learn for homework. There is a choice of a longer or shorter poem.
The children will get a chance to recite their poems in class on Friday 17th January and a boy and girl will be selected to go through to our school final on 25th January.
The Sair Finger by Walter Wingate
You’ve hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Noo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!
My, so it is – and there’s the skelf!
Noo, dinna greet nae mair.
See there – my needle’s gotten’t out!
I’m sure that wasna sair?
And noo, to make it hale the morn,
Put on a wee bit saw,
And tie a Bonnie hankie roun’t
Noo, there na – rin awa’!
Your finger sair ana’? Ye rogue,
You’re only lettin’ on.
Weel, weel, then – see noo, there ye are,
Row’d up the same as John!
Mince and tatties by JK Annand
I dinna like hail tatties
Pit on my plate o mince
For when I tak my denner
I eat them baith at yince.
Sae mash and mix the tatties
Wi mince into the mashin,
And sic a tasty denner
Will aye be voted ‘Smashin!’

For our Maths week focus Primary 2 have been experimenting with different units of measure. We had fun measuring dinosaur bones and sharing our findings with one another!
Primary 2
P2 have been learning all about nouns.
We are able to describe what a noun is and were able to sort nouns into people, place and things. We then took part in a noun hunt to see how many nouns we could find in our reading book.
Primary 2 Class Charter
Primary 2 have been settling in well to their new class. We have been sharing our ideas on what we think are important rules to have, so that our classroom is a place where we are able to learn and feel happy and safe. Here is the charter we have agreed on.
Primary 2S Transition Challenge
Primary 2S have been busy this week completing a transition challenge set by Miss Burton. Our challenge is to let P1 know about what to expect when they come up to P2 next session. We have made posters showing important information and we are looking forward to going to visit the P1 class to share the information on our posters. We will let you know how we get on!
