Tag: P1-2

This week the children in P1/2 have been busy making Halloween decorations and writing a procedure text to explain how they did it. One of our activities in the environment was a cutting activity to make a paper pumpkin. Even though it was a little fiddly, we had some great pumpkins by the end of the week.

We’ve had a busy few weeks in Primary 1-2! We have been practising our sewing skills, investigating magnets and using our data handling skills to decide which labels we should put on our jam jars.

In Primary 1/2 we spent plenty of time sharing our books as part of World Book Day. The children loved being able to read their books with their friends.

Today some of the Primary 2 children have been practising their maths skills by playing subtraction games. They worked brilliantly in pairs and threes to play the game, checking each others answers and making sure their calculations were accurate!

As part of our topic this term we have been thinking about how businesses work. We will be creating our own jam later in the term so we started off thinking about market research. We tasted 4 different jams and decided which was our favourite, then created a class pictogram to represent our findings.

This week P1/2 have been busy with lots of learning. At the start of the week we explored musical instruments and found out that sound is able to travel because of vibrations. We have also seen lots of great creations as part of our play based learning, and even better some excellent team work! On Friday we learnt about Remembrance Day and along with the rest of the school held our 2 minutes silence. We also made our own poppies- they looked great!

This week in P1/2 we found out about catapults as part of our work on castles. On Monday we made our own catapults and tested them out, seeing how far we could fire things and if we could hit the castle. Later in the week we wrote instructions explaining how we made our catapults.
