Welcome to Primary 2B! This year, Miss White is our class teacher and Mrs Bailie is our wonderful classroom assistant. 

We have lots to look forward to and learn this year in Primary 2 and you can follow our journey through pictures! We will be covering some exciting topics such as, All About Me, Terrific Toys, In the Jungle, Once Upon A Time and Under the Sea.

Our approach in Primary 2 is to emphasise engagement and enjoyment. We believe that by incorporating interactive activities and hands on learning experiences, this will create a stimulating learning environment where children can actively participate in their learning journey. 

In literacy, we will be enhancing our talking and listening skills, developing our phonics and spelling using a multi sensory approach, improving our already impressive reading skills and exploring various genres of writing. We aim to provide the children with opportunities to express themselves creatively, develop a love for reading and enhance their writing and language skills in a supportive and nurturing environment. 

In Numeracy, we will explore various aspects of the curriculum including the recognition of number concepts, exploration of shape and developing spacial awareness aa well as enhancing our data handling and measurement skills. Through the use of games, group work and practical exercises, the children will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real-world context, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for maths.

We will be engaging in play based learning which we see as a vital component of a child’s learning journey. Play based learning in primary 2 not only fosters creativity and imagination but also enhances critical thinking and problem solving skills. Children will have the opportunity to explore concepts in a fun and engaging manner, which can lead to improved retention of knowledge. It also promotes vital social skills as the children are regularly collaborating and communicating with their peers. 

In Primary 2 we also have many other fulfilling areas of the curriculum to look forward to such as PE, Grow in Love, Music and ICT. How lucky are we? We can’t wait to learn and grow together this year!
