We have had a fabulous day partying!

We started off by discussing our favourite P2 memories and icing biscuits this morning. Before break time we had a picnic outside with our toys and teddy bears. After break we played some party games outside and also had a scavenger hunt, we then came inside and did some body percussion in the class to some popular songs and then we had a crown parade where we walked down the catwalk and showed off our party hats and crowns. After lunch we had some more party games inside, including best dancers, musical arms and musical statues. We then ate our delicious biscuits and watched part of a film. It has been a wonderful day! 🥳👍🌟❤️

Today we started planning our class party on Thursday. We made table name cards and hats and crowns. 👑 🎩 On Thursday we are going to be decorating biscuits as a party snack, so today we wrote out a recipe for how it make them. 🍪

Look at our fabulous creations!

We had such a fabulous day celebrating our school values!

We started off by designing our very own t-shirts and got to watch a film. 👚👕

After break we put on our super t-shirts and went outside for a silent disco. 🎧 We all had a pair of headphones and had a great boogie! We also played some games and did the conga. We had a dance competition and our best dancers were Asim and Casey! 🥳💃🕺

After lunch we watched a live magician act on google meet. 💫  We were blown away with the magic tricks we saw. The magician, Billy, did some card tricks and also a cool trick with a Rubik’s Cube.  Lastly, we went outside for a music concert with music by Tom McGuire and the Hairy Hippies. 🎶

We had a fabulous time sharing our ideas and listening to each other’s Business plans and invention creations. I must say, I was blown away with how creative everyone was! I look forward to seeing these in real life. I want a discount! 😋
Well done to everyone! 🌟👍

Miss Hunter thought we had worked SO hard and we deserved a fun afternoon watching the Scotland and Czech Republic football game.
During the game we created posters, flags and our own football strips. We really enjoyed watching the first half and gave Scotland a big cheer!

Today for our writing we watched a short video clip called “La Luna”. The clip shows a little boy who goes fishing for stars on the moon. 🎣 ⭐️ We had a discussion through the clip and then used the video as a stimulus to create our own star and moon stories. Some of us retold the story, others decided to write a story about finding a star, some of us wrote stories about fishing and being in the ocean. I just loved how creative everyone was! On the last week of school, we are going to redraft our stories and create a front cover for our La Luna story! We will take these home so you can enjoy reading them too.

The diamonds worked really hard this morning on some symmetry tasks. They created symmetrical patterns and also created symmetrical drawings.

We had a busy afternoon yesterday! Firstly, did some mental maths and then created some maths questions for our friends to answer.
The diamonds enjoyed playing a board game on time and then learned about half past times. The stars were busy doing some revision work and then learned a new concept in time – quarter past. The hearts were learning to read measurements and checking for a zero on the scale and working out what the scale goes up in.

Today we wrote our own stories but through the eyes of a character. We watched a fun clip from The Literacy Shed of some diving giraffes. We all found it really funny! Our task was to pretend to be the giraffe and write about the experience, making sure to comment on feelings and using descriptive language to describe the setting. We even tried writing in paragraphs!
Here are a few examples of our work.

This afternoon we had so much fun taking part in our school sports day!

We all competed in a running race and then we took part in 4 different games – tug of war, beat the goalie, archery and an obstacle course.

It was so lovely to see lots of the children being great sports, congratulating their friends and supporting one another!
