Viking Longships!
As part of our IDL learning on the topic of Vikings, P1/2 have designed, built and tested their Viking Longships.
We reflected on the success (or sinking) of our ships and presented them to our group.
We worked to a design brief and used our problem solving skills to create these amazing vessels!

Our Muddle Monster
Meet Muddle!
In Primary 1/2 we use the Colour Monster stories and displays to help us understand and talk about our emotions. Muddle has joined our class as a worry monster. His feelings are all mixed up and he knows how that can make things feel difficult . We write or draw our worries and pop it in his mouth, the next day they are gone!
We have a worry flow chart behind Muddle’s seat which we discuss in class. Muddle has helped us talk about our worries and reminds us who can help us in school and at home.
Promises to our Planet
In Primary 1/2 we have been learning about our role as global citizens and discussing everyday things we can do to help our environment.
We came up with 5 ideas each and then made a “Promise to our Planet”. These include recycling, saving power, being careful with our water use and respecting nature.
