Hello all and welcome back! It has been wonderful to see you all today!

This is a quick post to update the changes to our P.E. timetable due to Active Schools working on Monday afternoons.

P.E. will now be on Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday mornings.

If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

Regards,
Mrs Aylward

This week we continued to look at number bonds, adding skills and ‘number of the day’ in our Maths and Numeracy work. The children enjoyed the Ten Pin game on Education City for number bonds as well as some of the other games available to them.

We continue to work well with our sounds and tricky words, beginning to look more at our tricky words and practising these in different ways such as through Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check (LSCWC). The Year 1 – Tricky Words selection in this game is a good way to practise some tricky words using LSCWC.

In our topic work we wrote about the sort of job we would like to have in a castle such as a knight, cook or prince! After our trip last Friday to Dunbar’s Close, we used leaves as material in our art work which went home this week – we really did use a lot of different materials and tools for that piece of art!

Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood education programme

Please find below the home learning information sheet about the Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood education programme Primary 2 will be starting shortly.

We will be focusing on relationships we make and develop, looking at our families, and how all our families are different, what makes us unique, making and having friends and what makes people alike and what makes us different (diversity). Several aspects are also covered by, or otherwise overlap with, our Building Resilience programme work.
