General Homework for 8th November

Reading –  Reading books should be returning today and new books will go out on Thursday, please ensure you return your reading books on Monday 15th November.

Literacy – Look in your child’s orange homework jotter. We are focusing on handwriting as we revise our sounds. Please take some time to complete the handwriting sheet that is with your child’s jotter. Use your best handwriting to write the green and ‘red’ (tricky) words in your orange jotter two times each.

Maths – Please let me know if you are having issues logging into Education City. There will be a Measure Homework for you. Have a go at no more than two activities from the assigned homework OR try the worksheet that goes home today.

Library forms – we will be visiting the Central Library next week on Wednesday the 17th of November. If you don’t already have a library card for your child please do consider filling in the form that goes home today so we can organise this for more regular visits by the school. If you do have a card already for your child you might want to consider sending this in on that Wednesday.

Hello all! Happy Bonfire Night and welcome to this week’s review for Primary 2.

We had a talk and a think about fireworks safety this week, creating some fireworks art with some safety advice! Here’s some of our completed work as well as work in progress.

We started to look at measure as our new maths topic. We have been looking at some standard units of measure, especially for length, but also having a go at using everyday objects as ‘non-standard’ ways to measure things. We explored ways to measure everyday objects using a range of objects like cubes, paper clips, lollipop sticks and our own hands. We continue to look at number bonds and counting on and back from numbers too.

We have started to look at non-fiction texts with ‘Who Lives Here?‘ on Active Learn. We are still looking at this online book but the children were excited for when we can read this on our Active Learn accounts at home! Alongside our work on tricky words and using our sounds, we are having a look at capital letters again. This game can be helpful to match the capitals to their lower-case letters.

Lastly, congratulations to our

A warm welcome back to our Week in Review for Primary 2!

We continue to work on our number skills with Number of the Day and an addition focus. We continue to look at number bonds and counting on and back from numbers too. In literacy we continue to practise writing our sounds and tricky words and have been working on our handwriting. We are looking at the beginning, middle and end of stories in our reading and writing.

The highlight of the week would probably be our very own castles which we started to make! Have a look at some of these amazing creations. Well done to Luara and Bryce for bringing in some good clothing or covers for their painting!

Lastly, congratulations to our
