Primary 2 Homework Packs and Homework 5th October
This week your child will come home with a plastic folder containing their homework. You will find a literacy jotter in a poly-pocket with your child’s log-in information on the inside of the jotter. Your child’s spelling tasks should be written in the jotters, please do not use more than 2 pages when doing this work. Please keep the jotter and the poly-pocket together to aid us in transferring the jotter from the folder when the spelling work is due back in by Thursday.
Reading books will start to go home this week on Thursday to be returned by Monday. This should help to reinforce reading already done in school that week. We will be unable to issue your child another reading book if these do not return and this could cause a delay in other children being able to access these as there will be a quarantine period on their return.
On weeks before a holiday, reading books will not go home that week (such as next week) but there may be other online books assigned. As ever please do check the blog to be kept up-to-date.
Care of items sent home
Due to current circumstances, always wash your hands before opening any jotters or books at home. Please also put your books or jotters away as soon as possible when you have finished working with them.
If you lose the plastic folder or homework materials sent home, please do be aware there is a replacement cost involved which the office will inform you of should this circumstance arise.
General homework for 5th October 2020
Literacy – There is a task for your child’s tricky words (either a practise or sentence writing task) and a task for writing and finding oo and ew words.
Maths – There is a homework for Direction on Education City to practise direction and movement.
Reading – check your child’s reading jotter for any comments and add your own comments about their reading with their current book.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to send a note or an email. Have a lovely evening!
Regards,
Mrs Aylward

Monday 5th October
Outdoor Learning and Writing
Do you have a good imagination? We do! How many different things can you make a stick into? A sword, a horse, a magic wand? Weights to be lifted or a partner to dance with. Can you look at the photos and guess what we pretended our sticks were?
We voted on whose work should go on the website by putting bears on our favourites
This work was inspired by the book Not A Stick by Antoinette Portis. Read the book below!
Maths
“We done patterns. Patterns repeat”, Bryce.
We chose these ones for our website “because they are beautiful”, Rayan.
Scottish Maths Week Assembly
This week was Scottish Maths Week. We have been spotting shapes in our topic – Our community.
Well done to all of Primary 1 who helped make our amazing maths week poster. We chose to call it ‘Our Flat City‘ because we squished the 3D buildings into flat 2D shapes for our map. We each drew our own house and then added our favourite places like Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat, Tesco and McDonalds. We also added the places where people who help us work, like our school, the fire station, the police station, the doctors surgery and the dentist. A special well done to our brave speakers!
Health and Wellbeing
This week we were learning about the ‘uh oh’ feeling you get in your tummy when you are worried, scared or sad. This ‘uh oh’ feeling helps to keep us safe.
Jessie and her friends like to watch videos on their devices like a tablet or phone, but what should they do if they see something scary that makes them feel worried, scared or sad? They should tell a grown up they trust!
This coming week…we will be talking PANTS with Pantosaurus!
Pantosaurus is the boss of his own body. He knows that what’s in your pants, belongs only to you because your pants cover up your private parts. Scroll down for the poster and song, or click the link below!
