Achievements in P2

We have been using our ICT skills to record some of our achievements from P2.  We used Microsoft Office to open a Word document.  Then we typed sentences. Next we inserted images from clip art to illustrate our sentences.  Finally we saved our files.

We discussed all the knowledge and skills we have been learning and practising this year.  We wrote ‘I can’ sentences as part of our ‘Growth Mindset’ activities.  We set new learning targets.

Working Together To Get The Job Done!

Primary 2 are learning to make choices to further develop our own skills.  We choose from a range of learning opportunities.  Sometimes we work in pairs, in groups or with an adult. We all take responsibility for keeping our classroom and resources tidy.

When I Grow Up……..

Primary 2 are finding about different careers. Mr Connell came to visit us and explain the skills needed to be fire fighter.

Mrs Brown is an osteopath. She told us how she helps people with back pain. She told us that her family all work together as osteopaths.
