As we are coming to the end of our castles project the children worked together to colour and paint different parts of a castle that we are going to build.
P2/3 have been learning about fractions. This week we were learning about halves and quarters. The children really enjoyed creating pizzas with half and quarter toppings.
Yesterday P2/3 were learning about inheritance. We used Mr Men and Little Miss to understand how things can be passed down from our parents. The children were challenged with drawing a picture of what Mr Small and Little Miss Dotty’s child would look like using our new knowledge of inherited characteristics.
On Friday P1/2/3 had a visitor from the SSPCA and two rabbits; Fudge and Smudge. The children learned what the SSPCA do and how to take care of rabbits.
Yesterday P2/3 had a visitor from LOST (Learning Outdoors Support Team). The children loved finding different bugs and looking at them through a microscope to figure out what they had found. We also learned how to use nets to catch butterflies in the better weather and how to catch bugs from bushes using a sheet.
P2/3 had two visitors from Whitelee Windfarm who came to talk to us about wind energy. They showed us what they have to wear to climb to the top of the wind turbines to fix them. The children loved trying on the harness and looking at pictures from the top of the turbines.
