Mobile Library Visit
Yesterday, Fausto from the East Ayrshire Mobile Library came to talk to us and our parents about the resources the library can provide and how to join the library.
Thank you for visiting!
Easter: Baking
Today, P2/3 made mini egg crispy cakes. We then made our own Easter baskets to put them in.
Fab work P2/3!
Space: Mini Fruit Solar System
Today, P2/3 made a solar system out of fruit. They used a raisin (Mercury), a blueberry (Venus), a grape (Earth), a raspberry (Mars), grapefruit (Jupiter), an orange (Saturn), a tangerine (Uranus) and a plum (Neptune).
The children worked in their groups to figure out the order of the fruits comparing them in size to the planets.
After that, we added the fruit to a skewer to make our very own mini fruit solar system. The children loved trying the fruits as we were making our solar systems, the oranges seemed to be the favourite!
Amazing work P2/3!
Easter
As P2/3 were joined by the P4s yesterday we also took part in some fun Easter activities. We spoke about why we celebrate Easter and then took part in puzzles, making tissue paper Easter eggs, and animating our own Easter drawings!
Fab work P2/3/4!
Den Building
Unfortunately, due to the weather, P2/3 could not litter pick on Thursday. Instead, they joined up with Mrs Eccleston and P6/7 who showed them how to build dens. They all had an amazing time!
