This week the pupils have been working on their imaginative writing.

We had to create our own Christmas story and use lots of adjectives to make it interesting.

We have also been learning about verbs and how to spot them in writing. We sorted verbs into the correct categories.

For RME we have been learning about the Christmas story.

We discussed what we already knew and watched videos and PowerPoints to help us.

Everyone then performed some great re-enactments from parts of the Christmas Story by using our drama skill called Freeze Frames.

As usual we have had lots of fun finding where our elf Jingles is hiding every morning!

This week we have had a very busy week.

All of p2.7’s hard work paid off in their persuasive letters to Santa and we received an elf!

The elf has been named Jingles and everyone has had lots of fun finding the elf. Jingles really enjoyed being read to by everyone and hearing all their reading books.

We also wrote letters to Santa this week using our persuasive writing skills to politely ask for presents.

For our grammar lesson this week we went on a noun hunt around the classroom. We tried to find as many nouns as we could and had great fun!

For our values play this week we went outside and had great fun building the biggest snowmen we could!

 

This week Primary 2.7 had a very special visitor.

Santa visited our classroom at night and delivered a very special letter to us all.

We had to learn to write a persuasive letter to help Santa decide to send us a special elf for December.

We all learnt how to write a letter and made sure to include the address for Santa on the envelope.

After we had carefully written our letters we posted them by using Santa’s magic postbox.

Let’s hope we all find out soon whether 2.7 will get an elf or not!

 

 

This term we have been working hard and having lots of fun doing Science. We’ve learned about materials and their properties. We have designed and made mini umbrellas, which we then tested by pouring water over them. We were very happy to discover that most of them worked really well and came up with ideas of how to improve the ones that didn’t work.

We have talked about living and non-living things. We are able to tell what the features of living things are and sort them into different categories and explain our decision.

We have also looked at the examples of forces (pushing, pulling and twisting) in the classroom and in the playground, predicting how applying more or less force would change the speed and direction at which objects moves.

 

This week we have been learned  all about bonfire night.

We learned why we celebrate it and the different ways people celebrate it.

For our writing we wrote fantastic senses poems all about bonfire night and thought about everything we experience.

We also made our own firework scratch artwork which turned out fantastic!

 

We have had a very spooky week in primary 2.7.

We took part in lots of Halloween activities and even made our own potions. We decided on our ingredients and wrote out how we would make them.

Today was also our Freaky Friday Fundraiser. We had lots of fun and took part in different activities. Everyone had their Halloween costumes on as well and they were all fantastic!

Happy Halloween everyone!

  

 

This week is maths week!

We have been looking at lots of different maths activities this week. We were looking and recognising different types of coins and discussed when we use money. The class ran their own pizza restaurant using their knowledge about money.

We also used ICT games to consolidate our knowledge about counting and number recognition and used counting sheets as well.

 

 

We took our learning outside and created symmetrical pictures of our own choosing.

This week we have been focusing on number bonds and revising our numeracy skills.

 

We had a lot of fun thinking of all the ways to make 10 and discussed our ideas with everyone.

We have been working on our writing this week and wrote some sentences together as a class. We have also been learning about reading comprehension skills and practising these using our reading books.

 

 

During our choosing time everyone was working on their numeracy skills by writing out calculations and playing addition games with cards.

 

 

We had lot of fun during art drawing our own self portraits for our display wall. The results were fantastic!

 

This week has been really busy!

 

We were finding all different type of shapes around the class. We then used them to create our own pictures.

 

We were revising our words they we learned this week.  We did this by having a letter race! Some of us used magnetic letters and some of us used stones to create our words.

 

 

 

This week we have been looking at our number bonds to find out what makes ten. We found lots of items around the room to make calculations. We also worked in pairs to solve calculations and worked hard on our rainbow number bonds.

 

Jenny and Sue from COAST in Lamlash, Arran visited us on Monday. They taught us all about the different species of sea creatures which can be found in  the sea around Arran and told us some amazing facts about them!
