Primary Two have been so lucky this term to have the opportunity to visit Rouken Glen. We have been working with Young Enterprise at their centre in the park. We enjoyed creating bug hotels using leaves and net bags, for any little wrigglers in our garden to have a cosy place to go!
We planted our own cress seeds and decorated the recycled pots to make them look attractive.
We had a very healthy and tasty lunch of pea and broccoli soup with crusty bread. We also had the chance to travel in the Young Enterprise minibus which was super!
After our recent visit from the Singing Children of Africa, we had so many questions about Africa! Our visitors from the choir answered some of them…but many were still to be discovered! So, we have decided to see if we can find the answers to the rest. We are going to embark on an exploration of amazing Africa this term – we can’t wait to delve deeper and begin to answer our questions.
This week, we have enjoyed listening to traditional African folktales about Anansi the Spider. Anansi is a wise spider and we loved hearing the story about how he gathered lots of wisdom in a jar, then spread it around the world to help others!
After the story, we used our shape knowledge and cutting skills to create our very own Anansi spiders. Have a look at our finished work and our use of bright colour and shape – don’t they look fabulous?
What a fantastic week! Primary 2 have had a super start to the new term with positive attitudes all round. We have had lots of enjoyable experiences this week, and we are so excited for the many events to come over the course of this term – so stay tuned!
We spent some time reflecting on our experiences at the end of term one and added these to our ‘What Stuck With You?’ wall.
A question we ask ourselves in Primary 2 is ‘what inspired you today?’
Why not have a think about our question – what would your answer be?
Primary 1 have been learning about Autumn and we went on an adventure to the grounds of Arthurlie House. Each group had several tasks to complete – tree rubbings, gathering treasures and completing a sense sheet.
When we returned to class we sorted our treasures into different sets and in small groups created a piece of Autumn art.

Stephanie is our lollypop lady and she agreed to be interviewed about her job. She answered our questions and then we went outside to the zebra crossing where she demonstrated how to cross the road safely. We all then crossed the road safely. 
Primary 1 are all settling in well and making new friends.
P.1a have been learning about people who help us in school. We interviewed Elaine ,the cook, Mrs Gaught from the office, Mrs Rennie the P.S.A and Gerry the lollipop man. We used our listening skills to hear all about their jobs.
We observed them carefully to help us to draw very good pictures of all the people who help us. Here is Elaine ,the cook.
Welcome to our class blog!
