Safer Internet Day 2020
admin on: Class 2
11th and 12th February 2020
Over the past two days, children in Key Stage 1 have been learning more about Safer Internet Day. They looked at Buddy the Dog who helps them use the internet safely by using Buddy’s ‘Use Your Tablet Safely’ Song (Sung to the tune of Frère Jacques):
Ask your grown-up,
Ask your grown-up,
Ask for help!
Ask for help!
Use your tablet safely,
Use your tablet safely,
Woof, woof, woof!
Woof, woof, woof!
They also looked at Digiduck and why we should always ask permission before we send or use a picture taken of someone else. For more information, please visit: https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/2020
Homework 7th February 2020
admin on: Class 2
Lots to celebrate this week! We were KS1 Mathletics champions again in assembly today - that's 4 weeks in a row. Well done to everyone for getting on with their homework, it really does make a difference. We started to write up our Katie Morag stories in literacy this week - the children have had some amazing ideas. In maths we've focussed on adding two 2-digit numbers by partitioning. So 34 + 23 = 30 + 20 = 50 and 4 + 3 = 7, so the answer is 57. We've looked at doubling in the same way. Homework in books and Mathletics is about adding. I hope you'll enjoy making and playing the memory game - games like this are vital for training the brain and can be adapted to any subject. Please take a photo of you playing the game for homework books.
I look forward to seeing you all at parents' evening next week. Enjoy the week, let's hope we don't get blown away...

Homework Friday 31st January 2020

We've had a fun-packed week in Y2, starting on Monday with our road safety training. Here are a few pics from the afternoon:
We'd had another busy afternoon today with 'creative Friday'. Here are some examples of the children's French work...
We have been asking for fruit and veg in the shop! Other groups made model kelpies, some did choosing activities whilst others played maths games, and made shortbread (if you haven't contributed to ingredient costs yet, please can you bring £1 this week).
Homework is all about fractions on Mathletics - we've loved our first steps into learning about fractions, we even attempted some really challenging problem solving activities today. Please ensure your child completes this as it will really consolidate the work we have done in class. Paper-based homework is on grammar, there are two sheets to complete. Thank you for supporting your children with their descriptive writing homework on Scotland, I really loved reading them this week.
Have a great weekend.

Happy Friday everyone, it's been another busy week in Y2. We started to write our Katie Morag information text and have been looking at adding/subtracting in Maths. Hopefully, the Mathletics problem is sorted and you can now see the homework I'm setting. Please keep encouraging your child to complete the activities - we have a lots of bronze certificate winners, some silver and one person nearly at gold! There's a lot of hard work going into homework, so thank you for your support. English is about describing a Scottish scene. Here's a sneak preview of this week's spellings:
tall hard
taller harder
tallest hardest
fast warm
faster warmer
fastest warmest
Thank you to everyone that donate to the Australia appeal. I'm sure we'll have a total early next week. Talking of next week, on Monday, the children will be having some road safety training.
Enjoy the two days!

Happy Friday everyone! It's been another busy week in Y2. We've been writing diaries in the character of Katie Morag and looking at odd/even numbers in maths. We also learned about rounding for the first time. In literacy, I've introduced the children to spelling planet. Each week we'll be looking at a spelling rule. Next week we're looking at the soft 'c' sound and here's a list of the words we'll be practising:
city
cell
exercise
mice
icy
cycle
fancy
notice
police
You might wish to talk to your child about them.
I've set Mathletics homework on odd/even numbers and there's also a maths sheet in homework books about greater/less than. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
