This week we have lots of visitors popping in to tell us about the jobs they do. Ask me about them when I get home!
Wednesday: Young Carers and Fire Fighters.
Thursday: Crosshouse Teducation and a Vet.
Friday: An Architect
Spring has arrived! Busy day in the community garden. We have put in our onion sets and potatoes. Planted sunflowers and cucumber. Next week we will plant pumpkins for the Autumn and broccoli, runner beans, courgettes and cabbage. Last year’s strawberries are coming on a treat.
JRSO walk around our village went well except for the soaking we got on the first half of our walk. Look how bright we looked!
Target achieved!
We even designed bright jackets for us to be seen in!
Earth Hour
Please support us with our learning and join millions of people all over the world and switch off for one hour on Saturday 23rd March at 8.30pm.
Today we talked about what Earth hour was all about and activities we could do at home for an hour with no electricity.
Scabby Queen sounded like a favourite! Get those cards out!
We talked about how animals habitats can change due to different temperatures in our environment.
We voted and watch Wild Isles, an ocean habitat in the British Isles led by David Attenborough. After that we went on a rather chilly and wet bug hunt in our playground environment.
Let STEM week begin!
Thank you for the fantastic response to the STEM homework challenge to make a Marble Maze.
Friday: Build a basket to carry fruit to Granny
Thursday: Catapult Challenge
We had great fun! Take a look!
Wednesday: We had the most fabulous day at Dumfries House doing the Fuzzy Cow experience. We are extremely privileged to not only see and clap the King’s rare breed Vaynol , three week old, bull calf but we got to bottle feed him as well. 🥰🥰🥰 Check out our Vinnie feeding the King’s Vinnie with a bottle. We even got the chicks out for a run around.
We then went to the Adventure playground to carry out a science experiment on the effects of gravity on our bodies and discover that it’s gravity that brings us down the slides! 😉😉😉
Finally we discovered a sculpture by the famous Brazilian artist Romero Britto. We have been studying this artist in class and trying to copy his style in out own artwork.
Tuesday: science experiment with our resident mad scientist!
Monday: Build the tallest tower out of Lego to hold a tennis ball 🎾
We had a great time in the STEM area this week, exploring and talking about all we know about Magnetism.
What wonderful weather this week and we have been making the most of it. We have had two mornings outside making ice lanterns. Take a look at the fun we have been having! After we lit our lanterns we sang some Scots songs and said poems in Scots too! Think the workmen on the roof had a real giggle!
Primary 2 outdoor exploring tools for measuring.
Cosy winter walk

Out and about Trailblazing in Mauchline.
Getting our class ready for Hallowe’en!
Thank you for joining P2/3 for Meet the Teacher. I have popped on the power point that was running in class while you were in incase you would like time to read over it.

3D shape building!
And we are good at it!
Science Outdoors
Floating and sinking!
It was also a great day for a skiddle with a bucket of water.
A very busy start to our year! We’ve been out and about at Dumfries House learning about the sun, earth and the moon and how these give us day and night, seasons and years. At the farm we looked at how the animals respond to the changes in their circadian rhythm! Sorry I have only photographs of some of the children, the camera battery went with the other group.
