Today we were learning more about comfortable and uncomfortable feelings. P2/3 decided that feeling ‘fine’ is a comfortable feeling and that feeling ‘tired’ can sometimes be comfortable but sometimes uncomfortable. They also identified that both boys and girls and adults and children can feel the same types of feelings but they might feel these feelings at different times and for different reasons.
Yesterday Primary 2/3 were learning all about verbs. They had lots of fun acting out different scenarios for their peers to guess the verb.
For our Numeracy and Maths warm-up today, we revised positional language using the song, Cha Cha Slide!
We learnt about grid references and created our own grid reference map. We then swapped with a partner who had find the grid reference locations of the objects drawn.

Oscar said – we should keep a safe distance away from fireworks.
Jessica said – it would be sensible to stay inside and watch fireworks through the window.
Jamie said – if a firework comes towards you then run away and shout help.
Amy said – you need to keep a safe distance because if a firework comes towards you it can really injure you.
Abbie said – if a firework comes towards you, you could get burned and have to go to hospital.
Erik said – stay away from fireworks. They should be stored in secure box or tin.
Jim said – if anything happens you should STOP, DROP and ROLL.
Last week we began to learn about positional language and how important knowing these words were. We came up with a list of important words. Here are some we thought of: left, right, forward, backwards, beside, under, on.
Today, P2/3 came up with long list of jobs in which people need to use positional language. Here are a few examples, police officers, ambulance drivers, nurses, doctors, pilots, taxi and bus drivers.
We have been using positional language to direct each other in the playground to different coloured markers, to find objects on a treasure map with the help of Lego figures to help with left and right and becoming familiar with using the Beebots.
If possible, could all pupils please bring in an old shirt, t-shirt or polo shirt. It would be preferred if this is bigger than the pupils normal clothing size (e.g. parent/carers old tops). This is to be used for painting in school so should be something that can get messy and can be left in school. We do however have some aprons in school for any pupils who do not have an old top to bring in.
Thank you very much in advance,
Miss Thomson
Today Primary 2/3 have been learning to write predictions about their reading books. They used information from the front covers to help them think about what the book might be about before reading the book and discussing how accurate their predictions were. This was a great talking point about the famous saying ‘never judge a book by its cover’. Have a look below to read some of our predictions.
I think that my book will be fiction. I think the animals will grow food. (Finlay, P2)
I think that my book will be fiction. I think it will be about a boy that sleeps in a tree with his teddy. (Jessica, P2)
I think that my book is going to be non-fiction. I think my book is going to be about animals. (Erik, P2)
I think that my book will be non-fiction. I think my book will be about mummies. I think this book will have facts about mummies. (Eve, P3)
I think that my book will be all about mummies and Egyptians. I think that my book is non-fiction. (Olivia, P3)
