Welcome to our first Blog in 2016. We are sorry that we have not written one in a little while. We were just so busy with learning and performing our Nativity show.

 

Nativity show – Mary’s knitting

We were very proud of all our hard work. If you were able to attend the show we really hoped that you enjoyed it as much as we did.

 

Since being back at school

January 2016 has been as busy and as fun as usual. We have enjoyed learning and we have been working so hard. We cannot believe we are halfway through Primary 2 already! Time really flies when you are having fun!

 

What we have been learning this week –

We have been learning about time. Mrs McKim made up a silly song to help us remember the time (ask us and we will show you)

“I have been learning about o’clock and half past” (Lois)

“We have been looking at different clocks to tell the time” (Euan)

“I know that the digital clock is different from the clock you hang on the wall” (Owen)

“Ive been learning about quarter past and quarter to. I can only do this on the clock as digital time is tricky. I will keep practising until I get it” (Rachel)

“When the big hand is at the 6 it is half past and half past on a digital clock id 30” (Orla)

 

Language

We are learning to write an informal letter.  So far we have written to Santa to thank him for keeping us on the good list (he told us this when he phoned our class and spoke to Mrs McKim before Christmas – that was so exciting!!) We have also written to Stevie the Alien who came to visit Crookfur when we were off on holiday. We have also had the chance to pretend that we are writing to our favourite famous person and ask them questions.

 

Euan wrote to Darth Vadar from Star Wars so did Matthew.

Lucas wrote to Messi and Kai wrote to Scot Brown.

Abi wrote to Katy Perry and Caitlin, Orla and Ellis wrote to Taylor Swift.

It was fun pretending that they would read our letter.

 

Art

We are making a collage picture based on our houses and homes topic. It is going to look very effective when it is finished.

 

ICT

We are creating tables and databases. We are collecting information and putting them into our table. We are experimenting with creating a table.
