Our week in Primary 2…

A few quick notices:

  • We use the outdoors in all weathers so please make sure that a waterproof coat is provided and suitable waterproof shoes (wellies/ boots) are worn on wet days. 
  • Please leave toys at home, we have lots of lovely resources and activities in school to play with.

Health and Wellbeing

In PE, we have been practising our listening skills and team-work skills by playing games like; don’t wake the sleeping bear and parachute games.

We have used a range of picture books to explore our own diversity and uniqueness, building on the idea that our class is a family and so we must be kind and accepting of one another. 

We have explored our own emotions using the colour monster book and have been practising talking about this using our emotions check in station. 

Numeracy

We have been practicing counting forwards and backwards, identifying numerals and counting two collections of objects.

We have been using different voices such as, robot, mouse, tiger and singing voice to make counting more fun.

Literacy

We have been carrying out assessments using the common words from the Oxford Reading Tree (ORT) books.  Reading books will be issued very soon! 

We have been revising tricky words from Primary 1 and enjoyed taking part in a tricky word scavenger hunt in the playground.

We have been building some words using the digraphs; sh, ch, oo and ee.

Have a lovely weekend 😊

P2 Welcome blog

Welcome to P2!

We hope your children had a great start in P2.

Just a quick message to let you know our PE days:

  • P2MN Tuesday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor).
  • P2D Monday (indoor) and Wednesday (outdoors)

Please come dressed in your PE kit on those days.

It would be great if your child brings one piece of snack each day.

We are looking forward to working with you. If you need anything, it is better if you catch us at the door at the end of the day rather than when we are welcoming the children in the morning. If there is something urgent please send us an email.

Have a lovely weekend!
