Primary 2/3 have had a fun filled day of Hallowe’en activities!

We had a lovely morning of Hallowe’en activities followed by a party in the afternoon with all the Primary 1,2 and 3 pupils. We were dancing, playing party games, dooking for apples and enjoying some spooky activities.

It was a great day!

It has been a busy first week of term in Primary 2/3!

This week we have been learning about the ‘wh’ sound and writing Hallowe’en sensory poems in literacy. We have been learning about symmetry in maths and went for a walk to look for examples of symmetry in our environment.

We have decorated the classroom for Hallowe’en on Monday, we can’t wait for a fun filled day of activities!

Have a great weekend!

It’s hard to believe that it’s the end of term 1 already!

This week Primary 2/3 have been learning about odd and even numbers in numeracy and the ‘ng’ sound in literacy.

It was really hard but we managed to stay quiet for a whole 30 minutes during our Harvest Hush-In on Wednesday afternoon.

Thank you to everyone who made it along to parents’ night on Wednesday, it was so lovely to see you all and speak to you in person.

It has been a very exciting week as we have watched three of our chrysalides turn into butterflies! We fed them some oranges and apples when they emerged and set them free this afternoon. It has been fantastic to watch the process of them growing from tiny caterpillars into beautiful butterflies.

Thank you to Mykayla who brought in an amazing butterfly collection (and scorpion) from home to show the class. We loved looking at all the different shapes and colours of the butterflies.

Well done to Layla who won a trophy and a medal at a dancing competition at the weekend, what an achievement!

We finished off the term with a class party this afternoon for achieving 1000 points on Class Dojo, well done Primary 2/3!

Have a great October holiday!

Pupils have been given a ‘Size challenge’ this week which has been added to their numeracy scrapbook and involves comparing lengths and heights. Please click on the link below to view the activity:

Size challenge

Pupils can complete the activity in any way they want – they might want to write, draw or even take pictures of the things they can find around the house and put in order of size. Pictures can be sent to me in an e-mail. My address is: laura.mckenna@eastayrshire.org.uk

Due to the October holiday, scrapbooks should be returned by Friday 14th October.

Thanks for your continued support.

Have fun!

This week Primary 2/3 have been revising the ‘th’ sound in literacy and have written some super book reviews on ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ book.

In numeracy we have been continuing to work on 2D shape and have been learning about numbers and  words to 20.

We have been learning about the different parts of a caterpillar as part of our ‘Minibeasts’ topic and have moved our chrysalides into their new habitat. We hope that they emerge as beautiful butterflies soon!

We didn’t manage to get out for a walk on Wednesday due to the weather, however we had lots of fun keeping fit in the classroom with Joe Wicks!

It’s hard to believe that next week is our last week of term 1, it’s flown in!!!

Our caterpillars have now become chrysalides! In the next few days we will move them into their new habitat and look forward to watching them transform into beautiful butterflies.
