Mr McLean has come back this term to teach us some more about rhythm and songs. We love Kodaly and were very excited to see him again and play some new singing games.

We had to guess who was underneath the yellow sheet.

This term, we will be exploring and learning about 3D shapes. In the first week back, we have been looking back on our learning in Primary 1 where we learned about 2D shapes.

We made pictures from plastic shapes and then took advantage of the lovely weather we have been having and went outside to make shapes from natural objects.

We worked with a partner and had to problem solve when Miss Gunning asked us to make a circle. That was tricky using sticks and leaves……but we managed to do it.

We made cards to give to our mummies. We can also sing ‘You are My Sunshine’ as we give it to you mum!

We had another very successful Fit Thursday today. Primary 2 were all exhausted by the end of the day but really enjoyed taking part in all of the activities.

We had a very small class yesterday because of the snow but we still had great fun making up stories from cards with our partner. We told our stories to the rest of the class.

We use different strategies and materials to help us with maths. This week, we were using Numicon. We worked with a partner and played some games where one partner had to hide their eyes and the other took some pieces of Numicon away. We are really good at guessing which pieces are missing.

In the next few weeks we will be trying different strategies for addition and subtraction in maths using number lines, 100 squares, cubes and counters.

In Art this week, we learned about the Scottish artist Steven Brown. He paints very colourful pictures of highland cows, giraffes and all sort of other animals. Here is the painting we used for inspiration.

We think we got pretty close. In fact, we think some of our designs are better!
