Primary 2 – times tables games
If you want to practice the 2 times tables, try the hit the button game ( select 2 times tables)https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
Primary 2 -Problem solving using the 2 times tables
Some of us have been practising counting in 2s and investigating the 2 times tables. We have used different tools to demonstrate answers to problems we have been set.
Mirren has used the “2” rods.
Andrew has used the Numicon shapes of 2
Aoife has used pairs of pegs.
Lennox has used beads.
Primary 2 – Learning about money
We have had fun learning about the value of coins. We have used Numicon to help us understand this.
We played games using our knowledge of money.
The class shop is a great way to use our buying and selling skills.
Primary 2 – a giant counting frame
We were very excited to receive a new tool to help with our learning. We made suggestions as to how it may help us learn.
We suggested counting in 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s. We can use it to add and take away. We could use it for the 2 times table and even to measure height! We are really enjoying using it to learn more about number and maths.
Primary 2 – Learning in the sun!
What a lovely day and no better way of learning than outside!
We took writing outside:
Investigated floating and sinking:
And even had part of our Kodaly music lesson in the playground:
Primary 2 – Visit from ducklings!
The nursery had a visit from a farmer with ducklings and P2 were lucky to see these ducklings too. 
Amy , who showed us her pet ducklings, told us about Open Farm Sunday, where visits to farms are available for families ( free of charge, but booking sometimes necessary)
We remembered our visit to Rosemary’s farm in term 1, and I have included the link to Open Farm Sunday in June.( Rosemary’s farm not included) in case anyone is interested in this activity.

Primary 2 -Dancing success
What a lovely way to spend the weekend winning medals for Irish dancing. Well done girls!😃🎶
Primary 2- ship building.
Following our lesson with Miss Arbuckle when we learned about materials which float, we tried to make our own ships. We learned how we needed to add pasta to steady our ships.
Primary 2 – play with P5
On Friday P5 kindly showed us the games they had learned as part of their play leaders course.
What great teachers they were. We had great fun. Thank you P5!
