We have had a busy few weeks in Primary 2. We used chrome books to explore our local area. Pupils used google maps to find their street and different buildings within Barrhead. We discussed the different types of houses.

“A terraced house is in a row.”- Rory

“A detached house sits alone.”-

May “A semi-detached house has one neighbour.” –

Brayden “Flats have lot’s of neighbours.”- Isla

James- “we looked at our houses on the chrome books on google maps.”

We have had an exciting couple of days in our last week of Primary 1. We have been finding out information about bees and tasted honey. May- “the queen bee lays the eggs”. Braydon- “the worker bees collect the honey”. Lucy- “the honeybees do a dance when they find flowers”. Rory- “bees make honey”.

Today we went on a hunt to find bees and other insects. We found many in our garden area. We designed and built our own bug hotels.

We have been learning about living and non-living things. As part of our topic we cared for caterpillars. We are pleased to report that they turned into butterflies. Yesterday we released our butterflies into the school grounds.

Mrs Burnett and Mrs Kane are super excited to be moving to Primary 2 with the boys and girls. Today we visited our Primary 2 classrooom and watched a short story called Giraffee’s Can’t Dance. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+giraffees+cant+dance&view=detail&mid=2B39D42D82DB708AED852B39D42D82DB708AED85&FORM=VIRE

We discussed things we can do already and something we can’t do…YET! This is something we want to learn in school or at home.

Primary 1 have been exploring the language of addition and subtraction. To help us remember which words mean add and which words mean subtract we have been doing Kung-Fu maths.

We have been exploring missing number calculations. The children used the whiteboards and magnetic numbers to complete these calculations.
