St.Francis’ Primary School Daily Learning Plan

Class: Primary 2 Teacher: Mrs Erika Cassar

Check-in Message: Thursday 4th February 2021

Good morning Primary 2 – Happy Thursday to you! How are you? I hope you are all up and ready to get started with your home learning. I am sure you have found Ms Macdonald’s videos a great way to start your day. Today, I decided to wake up earlier for an early jog. At first, I didn’t really feel like it but once I got out of the house and started jogging, I felt so much better and now that I have sat down at my desk I feel that I can concentrate more with a fresh brain! Let me know how you started your day on Padlet https://padlet.com/erikacassar06/tkb74q4pu6wjwrw5

Today is another great day packed with several activities for you to try out You will start off with Literacy during which we will be focusing on a reading task, followed by some symmetry in Numeracy. You will then work on this week’s topic of Scottish Focus Week and end your day with a very interesting Music lesson.

Because we’ve added a Thinglink classroom this week, you will also find a presentation and video to compliment today’s plan instead of tomorrow I hope you enjoy it and find it useful!

Have a lovely day of home learning

Mrs Erika xx
