We would like to welcome you to join our journey through Primary 2. We have all settled in well and are enjoying learning lots of new things. We will keep you up to date with important things that happen during the year.

Today we found out that we won the line of the week award and we are very proud of ourselves. We are looking forward to getting our extra playtime next week.

Paddington Wheelbarrow

We have decorated a wheelbarrow by putting lots of different designs inside it. We made a plan by taking notes and researching the different plants. We decided where they would go. We had an area that was London and another area was a jungle that was for Peru. When we were deciding where we were putting our creations we made a job list so that we all had a responsibility, we also had choice to pick a job to do. We used soil and made different creations using cardboard, string, paper, material and plastic. We watered the soil and we planted plants. Oliver put lots of vines on the jungle area and he used green and brown wool. Charlie made a suitcase for Paddington using an old video tape. He wrote a label on it saying ‘please look after this’. We made some boats, Paddingtons and flowers. We used material to make the River Thames. Ben made Big Ben! He used a plastic carton, some gold material, a cardboard box and a brown pen to design a clock face and the sides of Big Ben. Euan made flowers using old magazines and books and he stuck it together using sellotape. Noor made a Paddington using a playdo tub and some card from a tissue box. We’re so excited to have it displayed in Greenbank Gardens and for it to be judged.

We have a Post Office in our classroom – you can use a Postman Pat bag. We have letters and books where you can post stuff to different people by putting on a stamp and address.

We have all used cotton wool and water and laid out some cress seeds. We have been learning all about cress seeds and what they need to grow. Over the weekend they have grown a little bit. We are going to observe what changes have happened and write about this in our Cress Diary. We know that Plants need water, sun, soil and warmth or shelter to grow – but the cress only needs water and shelter.

We watched a black and white silent movie video about Jack and the Beanstalk. When Jack woke up he went in his garden and he saw a big, giant beanstalk. We acted out what happened like we were Jack. We took some real seeds and planted them next to our tables. We thought Jack would feel scared or excited or nervous or shocked or worried and we showed this using good facial expressions.

Finally, on Thursday of this week we are going to have a Teddy Bears’ Picnic. Everyone is going to bring their teddy or soft toy, If it is a Sunny day we will go outside and if it is raining we will go to the Gym Hall. We are so happy and excited to invite our teddies to school! We must get back to work now – Ready, Teddy, Go (hahaha)

Lots of love from Primary One

Our Assembly

Today was our very first Assembly.

We started off saying Dia duit and then Jack came up and he said that means hello in Irish! I had a magnifying glass and told a fact about Under the Sea! – Liam

We wrote all of our assembly by ourselves. I told a story about a bee that stung me on the chin. – Ben

I said we learned lots of different things through our topic. I felt happy because I was doing in front of all the mums and dads and whoever came. My gran, dad and mum came. My brother Reece couldn’t come because he was at nursery-Kyle

The good space…

Last week we spoke to a brilliant astronaut called Chris Hadfield. We thought about questions we could ask for the astronaut. Chris Hadfield answered a question that Laura and Charlie had thought of. It was ‘Is the moon made of cheese?’. Chris told use the answer was no. He said it is made of rock that has holes in it, it is made from earth and an asteroid. We were so excited when he said ‘Hello Braidbar and thank you for your question’. We watched a video after we had spoken to him, about making a burrito in space. We also found out how to wash your hands in space. They use a special pouch to wash and it doesn’t need in any water – you just put it together and then get a towel to dry.

In French we talked about colours. We played eye-spy in French and Supermarket Sweep. You would have to pick out an object and say the French colour. Sophie correctly chose Rose – she wore a pink wig around the supermarket! Jack found a tomato and told us it was the colour Rouge!

In Science we learned all about light and about dark and the boy was scared. His sister showed him a puppet made using a hand – it is a called a shadow. We made our own shadow puppet show and guessed what animals people were making. Stella’s group made a butterfly.

In PE on Friday we worked on our listening skills and our balances. We travelled along a bench and when we got to the end we jumped off. After that we put our hands in the air and we gently lowered our hands to our sides. Then we chose a roll to do along the mat. Ramsha chose a log roll. Nathan chose a tuck roll. When we had finished we stood up with our hands in the air and again gently moved them down to our sides. We are all very sweaty, tired and we felt proud of ourselves. Miss Kearney said we had worked so hard this week. We are looking forward to Easter.

Speak to you soon,

Slan!

Oscar: I enjoyed balancing the ball on the cone in gym.

About a Mouse

Today P1 were looking at the work of Rabbie Burns. We looked at the poem ‘To a Mouse’ and then we all created our own poems based on it. It was a great success.

Tomorrow everyone is going to wear Tartan to celebrate Burn’s Day!
