Primary 2 Week in Review

Firstly a big warm welcome back to everyone this week! Wow, it’s already heading to summer.

Please do check that P.E. kits and suitable outdoor clothing is coming into school. As the weather becomes warmer, water bottles will prove even more invaluable.

Due to Bikeability starting up on Thursday afternoons, we are going to shift our main P.E. slot from that time. Having voted between a couple of options we will move this slot to Mondays.

Literacy

We continued with ‘soft c’ patterns this week with ‘nce’ as found in once or chance. We continued to practise writing and thinking about the meanings of the words and we played one of the games below though some of us were excited about trying out some of the other free games on this word list: https://www.spellzone.com/word_lists/games-320.htm

Art

On our first day back we had a go at making some ‘stained glass’ window crafts using tissue paper and black sugar paper which will have gone home this week.

Maths

We have been working on our number skills and laying out answers for questions this week. We used some Level 1 work from https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10 to work with.

It was so lovely to see everyone and get back into the swing of things. Please do check out the blog for homework on Monday and we look forward to seeing and hearing from you!
