Primary 2 Home Learning 6/5/2026

Welcome back Primary 2!

Hope you all had a nice long weekend – here is our optional home learning grid which you can do with your child to help them practise what we are doing at school.

In literacy, we are working on the Block 3 final consonant blends and Block 3 ‘tricky’ words – there are flashcards which you can download and use to practise with your child; you could do this by playing some games like snap if you print out two sets. Our sound this week is the final -lk blend. Our spelling words are below.

In numeracy we are working on division by sharing and grouping – your child will be able to show you how to make equal groups of objects and how to share objects equally. Have them try it with things you have at home! Last term, we learned how to measure objects (and people!). You can measure things in the house with your child using a ruler or tape measure if you have one.

We have started to learn about plants and what they need to grow. You could go on a walk in the park and have a look at some plants and see if your child can tell you what a plant needs to grow. In class this week we will be planting our own sunflowers to take care of and bring home at the end of term, or plant here in our school garden.

Maths Week in P1

Here are some of the activities we completed for Maths Week Scotland 2024: Maths Tales!

Addition Adventure

We created pictures to tell an addition story.

Subtraction Showdown

We created a game where contestants solve subtraction problems using giant balls! How many did the Big Bad Wolf steal and how many do you have left? Check out those proud smiles!

We’re going on a… NUMBER hunt!

Have a look at these photos we took on a recent hunt around our local area – We found so many different numerals and they all had different purposes. Phone numbers, price tags, clocks, door entry codes. What can you find in your own home?

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Primary 1 had great fun acting out this story, taking a different part each time! By the end of the week, the pupils were able to tell the story with very little help from staff.

Too hot, too cold or just right?

Pupils enjoyed testing the temperature of the three bowls of water using their senses. We discussed how using a thermometer would give a number reading.

Porridge day!

Pupils followed a recipe and carefully measured out the ingredients for their porridge as an end of week celebration!
