P2 Homework W/B 20.2.17
Welcome back after the February break. Here’s looking forward to the next six weeks of term.
What’s new this term?
- Gymnastics – P1 and P2 are going to get a block of gymnastics with a specialist every Monday now until Easter so children will need their PE kits every Monday ( and Thursday). Can pupils with long hair make sure they can have this tied back please.
- French – every class will get a weekly half hour lesson with Margaux, a French language assistant. Children have met Margaux already when she told them a bit about herself and her home in France.
- New topic – to be revealed later in the week. The electricity topic is finished and the feedback received from the children about this topic was very positive. I plan to share our PowerPoint ‘P2 News’ later on this week.
Homework –
Spelling – List 22 ‘y’ (known as ‘toughy y’ as it pushes ‘shy i’ out of the way)
Reading – continues as normal – check book bags for updates.
Numeracy – On Wednesday I will send home a sheet of ‘add/take 2’ sums to be cut into flashcards and used for ‘quick fire’ recall practice.
That’s all for now…
Thanks for your continued support,
Miss Brunt

Reading Homework
The Yellow and the Blue group- Lilac number 2 comprehension worksheet- circle the answers.
Pink – See bookmark
Orange – See bookmark
Green – See bookmark
*NEW* Numeracy- Keep going with your Learnits. If there are any people who need new learnits can you write a note and let me know.
Learnits- The Rules…
The children are asked the question on the learnits card on several occasions and if they answer correctly, within about two seconds, they can have a tick. Once they have ten ticks they can throw the learnit away. Once the envelope is empty they can have some new learnits. You can keep the envelope at home until it needs refilled.
Don’t feel you have to do all of them at once. A few at a time is sufficient.
P1 Homework 06/02/2017
Thank you to those who managed to make the drop-in last Thursday…the children enjoyed showing you their classroom and looking at their work.
Reading: Children will have a new book and associated key words. They will also be given sentences and another reading activity linked to their book.
Sounds: As we have finished the initial learning of Jolly Phonics sounds we are now starting on consonant blends e.g. br, cr, fr, etc. We will continue to use the jolly phonics and will revise them regularly, please encourage your child to do the same at home.
Topic: This week we are talking about how we learn and what can help us. The children will be learning through stories and discussion and this is something that we will refer back to frequently.
After the half-term we will be starting a new topic called ‘Fairyland’. It is a lovely topic around fairy stories and will be covering a lot of literacy related work through this topic.
Don’t forget the children finish on Friday for a weeks holiday.

If anybody had any copies of ‘The Twits’ at home I would be very grateful if the class could borrow them as we are going to complete a novel study after the February break.
On Friday we will be going to Loanhead Library to return our books and borrow some new ones. If any children have their book at home please can you make sure they bring it in. There will be no permission slips given out as it is a local excursion.

P2 Homework W/B 6.2.17
Spelling – List 21 ‘igh’
Reading – Non Fiction Text – On Tuesday, I will be sending home a ’round up’ reading comprehension task related to our topic Electricity – this will make a wee change from ORT books so please just finish any current books at leisure.
Numeracy – counting on 1, 2 and 3 forwards and backwards to practise adding and taking away 1, 2 and 3 from numbers to 20. Please just do this as mental maths eg. 5 + 1 =, 7 + 1 =, 12 + 1 =, 9 – 1 = , 14 – 1 = 20 – 1 = / 4 + 2 = 8 + 2 = 13 + 2 = 17 + 2 = 15 – 2 = 19 – 2 = / 4 + 3 = 6 + 3 = 12 + 3 = 14 + 3 = 10 – 3 = 12 – 3 = 16 – 3 = and so on……
- Children should do this by counting on or back from the start number OR can use a number line up to 20.
Fractions – we are working on halves.
Topic – the final week of our electricity topic will see us testing which materials conduct electricity.
PE – Tuesday and Thursday
Library is on again this Friday for P2.
Show and Tell – is taking a break ( much to P2’s dismay!) – this will resume after the Easter holidays.
Finally – a reminder that the February break starts at the end of this week. Children should be picked up at 12:15pm as usual on Friday 10th and will resume class back on Monday 20th February. Enjoy!
Thanks,
Miss Brunt
