This week, Primary 2/1 will be issued with home readers.

Please check Seesaw regularly for details of home readers/any associated tasks. We would also love to know about any other reading at home, so feel free to share this on Seesaw!

Some children will be given a wordless book to bring home. The document attached explains a little more about wordless texts and includes questions/prompts to support you when exploring them with your child. We hope you find it useful!

Wordless Book Guidance

The leaflet below gives ideas for question starters/discussion prompts when reading at home with your child. It is useful for readers both with and without words.

Please let Miss McLaughlin know if you would like any further support with reading at home.

Primary 2/1 have been busy this week with writing!

During reading sessions, we have been exploring ‘The Squirrels who Squabbled’ by Rachel Bright. Since we are learning about descriptive writing, we linked this to the story and created descriptions of Cyril the Squirrel. We have been working very hard on using the Description Bubble to structure our writing.

We also completed different play-based tasks linked to the story.

Check in with us again soon to see what else we have been learning!

Hello Parents/Carers!

On Friday, Primary 2/1 brought home their ‘Wonderful Week of Learning’ jotters. These jotters are used each term to show what learning looks like across a week (or in this case, a half-week!).

We would love it if you could take some time to look at your child’s learning and talk to them about it. I am also happy if you would like to leave comments/sticky notes on certain pieces of work. Primary 2/1 have been working so hard and it would be lovely to see what you think!

‘Wonderful Week of Learning’ jotters should be returned to school at some point next week.

Many thanks,
Miss McLaughlin 🙂

This week we continued our ‘Building Resilience’ work and discussions led us to talk about mistakes.

We watched the story ‘Beautiful Oops’ and learned about how mistakes can be turned into something special, maybe even better than what we had in mind! We then created our own ‘Oops’ and gave it to a partner. They then had to use our ‘Oops’ to create their own pictures. Have a look at some of the fantastic work below.

If you would like to listen to the story, you can use the link below:

P2&1 Termly Learning Overview – 1

Primary 2&1 have been working on their class charter.

We learned a little about the rights that children have and listened to the story ‘Let’s Explore our Rights’.

We then linked these to our school values (Nurturing, Ambitious, Respectful) and made ‘promises’ that the adults/children could do to make sure our classroom is happy and safe. #responsiblecitizens

Have a look at our charter below:

This week in Maths we have been learning about multiplication. We practised our numbers and times table facts in chalk in the playground.

As part of our topic work on minibeasts, we have been learning about food chains and how insects and other small creatures play a vital part in them. We found lots of different minibeasts outside.

Please find the term 1 overviews for P2/1 below.
