Health Week: Mythical Mark Making
On Monday, P2/3 took part in a Mythical Mark Making workshop with Art Students from UWS. The children found things out in nature to draw and made their own paint brushes! After lunch, they painted using these paint brushes out in the playground.
Great work P2/3!
Science Week: LOST
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.
Interesting work P2/3!
Numeracy: Length
This morning P2/3 were measuring the length of things outside using a trundle wheel. The children loved counting the clicks from the trundle wheel.
Great work P2/3!
Science: Chemical Reactions
This morning Miss Hosie visited P2/3 to teach us about chemical reactions. The children predicted what would happen when mints were poured into bottles of coke. Then we went outside to test our theories.
Messy work P2/3!
Literacy: Spelling
This week we went outdoors to practice our spelling words using chalk! The children loved getting outside and working with a partner!
Brilliant Work P2/3!
Science: Bubbles
If you have a bubble wand that is in the shape of a triangle or love heart will the bubble stay this shape?
This week the children had to predict whether they thought the bubbles would always be round or if they would stay the shape of the wand. P2/3 made their own bubble wands in any shape, from pipe cleaners, to test their theory.
We found that the bubbles were always round no matter the shape of the bubble wand. Ask the children why this is!
Brilliant bubbling P2/3!
Primary 2/3 are coming towards the end of their focus on learning about shape. They have a great knowledge of shape and have built confidence in naming and describing the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. They have taken part in a wide range of active tasks as well as written tasks as part of their learning throughout this topic.
Recently, P2/3 took their learning outdoors, into the playground, to complete a shape hunt. They were to work in small groups to find shapes (2D or 3D) and take photos of them on the ipads. The class then returned inside to discuss what shapes were in their photos and their properties.
Pupils built 3D shape models then described what shapes and properties their model was made up of.
