Request for cereal boxes: Please send in a cereal box or a cardboard box of a similar size (or two!) if you can spare them to help us to create habitat models as part of our Living Things topic. We aim to use these next week.
General Homework for 30th May
As this is a short week our homework will focus on practising lines to sing for our P7 Buddies show. You should have a copy of the lines go home today and this link up to 1 minute 20 seconds is what we are working on.
Reading – Reading books will NOT go out on Thursday this week where we are not at school. Reading books and comprehension work will resume the following week.
Welcome to this Week in Review for Primary 2. We continue to work to access photos so please bear with us.
In literacy we have started to look at the ‘magic e’ pattern, starting off with a focus on ‘a magic e.’ We looked at how the words changed when ‘e’ was put on the end, for example ‘pan’ compared to ‘pane’. We worked on reading these words as well as understanding what they meant so this game was one of the activities we used to explore this pattern.
In our maths and numeracy work we started off having a look at subtraction and move on now to our multiplication skills. We are practising our times tables, starting with 2, and seeing how multiplication is linked to repeated addition and what this looks like.
We continue to explore animal habitats this week and enjoyed finding this quiz on Google Earth about animal sounds! We used a grassland habitat as inspiration to explore colour tones in our art this week, painting landscapes that we are really looking forward to share with you!
Lastly, a big well done and congratulations to our
Beauty

Literacy – We are starting to look at the ‘magic e’ sounds pattern this week with the ‘a_e‘ pattern as found in ‘make‘. Please complete the sounds words worksheet and have a go at playing the roll-a-word mat for the ‘a_e’ pattern. You can search for ‘dice roller’ for online alternatives to physical dice.
Reading – Reading books will go out on Thursday, with comprehension sheets, to be returned for Monday the 30th of May.
Maths – Try one or two activities on Education City in the Adding and Taking AwayHomework OR the worksheet that goes home today. Continue to look over your newMental Agility Activity Sheet. Have a go at one or two activities on the sheet. Do feel free to send in something you have done together on this.
Below is a picture of the Mental Agility Activity Sheet and an an electronic copy of this file:
Welcome back to our Week in Review for Primary 2! Please bear with us while we work to share more of our work through photos again.
We have been exploring the ‘oi‘ sound pattern this week as part of our phonics and spelling work. This game is something you can use to compare and practise the ‘oi‘ and ‘oy‘ sounds pattern.
We have been working on our addition and subtraction skills this week, moving to focus more on subtraction and even looking at words used to describe subtraction. We have enjoyed playing some of the games from our assigned homework on Education City.
In our topic, Living Things, we started looking at life cycles and worked to show a life cycle including labels of the stages shown. We watched this video about animal life cycles and we looked at the life cycles of frogs and butterflies in more detail. You can find these below:
We have also started to look at animal habitats this week, thinking about different environments animals might live in as well as what sort of creatures might live in these places. We looked at several types of habitats but we will be moving onto focusing on some of these habitats that are near or around us such as urban, woodland or pond habitats.
A big well done and congratulations to our
Altay
for being a Confident Individual and Successful Learner in his efforts to speak up and contribute more in and out of class as well as his efforts in his literacy and numeracy this week!
