Afternoon boys and girls, today I have a challenge for you which focuses on our fine motor skills. It’s about little movements with parts of our body.
To complete the challenge you will need 3 teabags, 1 mug and a space big enough for 5 steps backwards.
How many teabags can you get in the mug from 5 steps away?
If you find it tricky, try stepping forward or using a bowl instead of a mug. If you think you want to make it a bit harder try throwing with the hand you do not write with 😀
Good luck!
Hello everyone! Mrs. Macandrew here with some more Science for you! I hope you all had a lovely Easter and didn’t eat too many Easter eggs! Did you manage to enjoy all that sunshine?
Our new topic for the Summer term is about PLANTS. We will be finding out what plants need to grow, the parts of a plant, the job each part of the plant does and hopefully you will be able to grow a plant or two of your own.
Here are the resources you will need.
Hello P2B Cherubs.
Welcome to Term 4! You have all worked so hard to get to this point and have come on so much since the beginning of Primary 2 – I’m very proud of you all.
I hope that you had a lovely Easter break with you families and have been enjoying the sunshine.
I have attached this week’s home learning grid with various activities and will be updating the Sumdog challenges and reading books on the ActiveLearn site throughout the day.
Remember: only do what you can, this is only a guide of what kinds of things that we would be covering and some revision of previous learning.
For some different kinds of activities, UNICEF are publishing an article alongside some activities every week which explore children’s Rights. This week the article is all about ensuring children have the right to the best possible health. The power point for this is attached below.

Finally, I saw this activity online and thought it would be a really nice thing to do (see photo below). It would be good to paint a rock every week and write something that we are thankful for during the quarantine (e.g. family time, playing outside, using Zoom to speak to relatives). Then you could make a display in your garden. We could even bring one each into school to make a display when everything goes back to normal 🙂
Take care everyone – any questions please get in touch via the blog or through twitter.

Good morning P2/1. I hope you have enjoyed a break and are ready to try a little more learning from home. I am missing you all and have been wondering how you are all doing.
Home Learning Grid 3 has been attached for P2 children in our class. P1 children should still be working on the activities listed on the grids issued in your home learning folders. (Reading, Writing, Numeracy and Maths). P1 children can also complete the yellow column on the P2 grid as this covers our whole class topics.

Stay safe P2/1 and let me know how you are doing,

Hello everybody,
I hope you are enjoying spending time with your family this Easter. As you know, we have been working to improve our school playground and have recently had a number of new playground markings/games painted on the ground. Our Parent Council have told us about an amazing competition where we have the chance to win £10 000 to make our playground even better.
Click here and it should direct you to the competition documents. I’d really like you to complete the tasks and ask your parents to submit your competition entry via email to play@creativeplayuk.com by 1st May. I would also ask that you include the school email address (wlsimpson-ps@westlothian.org.uk) in your entries so I can get an idea of the improvements you would like to see. There are quite a few tasks to do so make sure you don’t run out of time!
Creative Play and I want to see what you’re doing, so please ask parents to share your photo on social media tagging @CreativePlayUK, @SimpsonPrimary and the hashtag #playgroundprize. Please make sure your name is not posted alongside your picture due to West Lothian policy. If we get a lot of people using the tags, it will get our school really well known with the company and hopefully improve our chances of winning!
Have fun, get creative and I’m looking forward to seeing your ideas.
Mr Weir
Calling all Simpson Primary children…. Thanks to one of our P2 girls we have instructions for a science experiment – How to Make a Lava Lamp. Have a go and post your pictures here for us all to see. 
Hello P2. I hope you are all doing well. I have enjoyed seeing some of the learning you are doing at home. Thanks for sharing.
Your Religious and Moral Education activity this week ( or during the holidays) is to look at the Easter story.
We can’t wait to see how creative you will be with your ideas. Good luck!

Hello everyone! Hope you are all well.
This week we will be looking at Sustainable (Renewable) Energy and Non Sustainable Energy sources.
Hello P2B,
I hope that you are all doing well, keeping safe and being good!
Here are a couple of updates for this week:
And finally, while the sun is making an appearance please try to make the most of it, get into the garden for some exercise, collect some bugs or try your hand a some water ‘painting’.
Missing you all P2B,
Ms JB
