Welcome to our website
I hope you like this week’s assembly. You might notice my friend here, the Edinburgh Bear. He is a friendly chap. We’ll be sending out more information about the move from nursery to school and our Primary 5 buddies will be busy too!
Please remember that children should come to school with a jacket, as the last few days have shown – here in Scotland we certainly get all four seasons in one day! Take care, Mrs Jessop https://youtu.be/If1-Ncts3e4
Please find linked below the Termly Descriptor for Primary 2.
This is the plan for learning to the end of June in Primary 2.
If you have any questions, as ever, please don’t hesitate to send an email to the admin account for the attention of Mrs Aylward
We are looking at ‘soft g’ this week, where ‘g‘ makes the ‘j‘ sound! The free games on this site show off the difference between the ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ g we have been practising.
We were looking at paying the correct amount of money with coins this week, making sure we were confident we could identify all our coins! We did some coin rubbings and some coin rubbing art to help us become more confident at recognising the different coins we can use here in the UK.

We looked at the art technique of pointillism this week and practised the technique before making some pictures of our own inspired by the work of George Seurat.
We have also started to look at what living things are, thinking about things that are alive, that used to be alive and never lived. We worked to categorise different ‘things’ into these three categories and are thinking about what makes something ‘alive’.
Last but not least, we were sharing things about Space we were interested in! Well done to everyone for sharing!
A reminder that the School is closed to all pupils on MONDAY 3rd MAY for the Bank Holiday and on TUESDAY 4th MAY for a staff In Service Day.
The school is not being used as a polling station and so ALL pupils and staff will be at school as normal on Thursday the 6th MAY.
Here is this week’s assembly – hope you enjoy it! https://youtu.be/XLcpZ9RY9fo

General homework for 26th April 2021
Literacy – We are going to share/show at least 3 facts about an aspect of Space that interests us.
This can be something we have looked at before (such as any of the planets) in more detail, or something we’ve not looked at (e.g. black holes).
This research can be shared verbally, with a poster or some notes but must be ready to show/share for Thursday this week.
Maths – complete the coin identifying sheet that goes out on Monday.
If possible, please send your child in with a couple of different coins (e.g 1p, 2p) to use for some coin-rubbing work this week.
Reading – Reading books will go home this week on Thursday to return next week on Monday. Reading books will not go out where a book has not been returned.
