We have been comparing life in the past with how we live now.
We have looked at old artifacts, games, school life and a day in the life of a child from the past. 📻📺☎️
The children got to play some games that were played with in past such as marbles, cards, dominos and hoops. 🧸

Using the VR headsets the children were able to look at an olden day classroom as if they were they.
They were able to see the desks, way the children learnt and compare it to how they learn now.  📜🧮👩🏼‍🏫

Primary 2 celebrated Captain Sir Tom Moore by taking part in their 100 challenge fun afternoon. #CaptainTom100

Primary 2.1 have been busy with lots of different fun learning. Today we enjoyed lots of fun Easter activities. In groups they had to find their colour of plastic eggs around the classroom. They then had to solve the maths and literacy problems that were hidden inside. 🥚🔍

We also got to do some planting today linked to out Science topic of “Living and non-living things”. We all learnt what it means to be living and the important things that living items need – fresh air, food and water. 🍃🌊💐

We had so much fun creating our little bunny plant pots and then filling them with soil and bulbs.
I know i cant wait to see how these flowers turn out. 🌺

Primary 2  have been learning about water in different state in science. 💧

We were learning that water freezes at  0°c and becomes a solid known as ice.  🧊  The experiment showed us how ice melts when it’s no longer at 0°c and  also created some great ice painting pictures. 🎨

Spooktacular day 👻

Primary 2  had some Halloween magic added to maths, literacy and art today. We used gruesome ingredients that were counted into a cauldron to make witches brews 🧙‍♀️, used 2D shapes to make pumpkin faces and wrote our spelling words into slime.

We finished the day with a Halloween party 🥳 We dooked for apples 🍏  and wrapped each other to create mummies. Have a look at some of our fun today. 🎃👻

We have been having so much fun with muddy movers in the sun. ☀️

Everyone has been working together to create and build different things from their imagination.  We have created obstacle courses, tower jumps and mud pies. 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🥧

We were developing our balance skills today with different activities that are fun and enjoyable for all.  🏋️‍♀️🏋️

Have a look at some of the great  fun we have been having. 🎉

We have been having so much fun in Primary 2 so far.

We have been so busy getting to know our new classroom and playing with everyone again. We have been doing lots of activities such as Art, role play and construction. 👷‍♀️🎨🎭

We created a class charter together which shows some of the rights we have been learning about. As a class we choose minions to be our class charter theme and coloured them in to make them bright and colourful. 📽🎬

In class we have been reading a book together called the Colour Monster which talks about the different emotions that we can feel. 😊😥😡😨😎 We had great discussions about emotions we can feel during different situations.

Look at our fabulous work so far! 👀

Your new teacher can’t wait to welcome all of you to Primary 2.

Happy Friday everyone!

It is the last day of our first week learning online! You have all worked really hard this week and I am really proud of you all! Thank you for all your efforts so far and keeping me company on our google classroom.

Let’s have a fun last school day of the week and start off with some movement and dancing!

Literacy

So it’s the end of our first week of learning online and at home. I have seen some amazing work and am so proud of your efforts! I wish I was able to check in with you all in person but as we are still working form home I thought it would be a good idea to share with each other what you have all been up to at home.

You can choose how you do this, either draw a picture, write a few sentences in your jotter, record a video and post it onto our google classroom. Draw or write about your week on a document and upload it or add to the comments or even upload some pictures of your week.

You can choose, but I know I would certainly love to hear all about your week and i’m sure all your friends from class would also.

Spelling and Dictation 

Today we are going to practise dictation, we do this in class so you will now have a chance to show your grown ups how amazing you are all getting at it.

In your jotter spell the word that your grown up reads out, remember to sound out each word. if your not sure say it slowly with each sound and get your grown up to sound it out slowly with you also.

To help you can use an alphabet line, i have added one you can download or write your own in your jotter before you start.

Grown Up:
read each word from the list one at a time, it can help to say it in a sentence, if they are struggling remind your child to sound out the word and think about each sound they hear.

RME

We began talking about the Easter story last week and today we can continue thinking about it today.

Here is a link to the Easter story for you to watch this week. You could watch it in two parts as it lasts about 25 minutes.
Parents:
Have a chat with your child about the story. You could ask questions like:
Who are the disciples? (friends of Jesus)
What did Judas do?( told the soldiers where Jesus was)

You decide what is appropriate.

Art

Children all over the country have been making colourful rainbow art to spread happiness and joy.
Can you make your own rainbow art and share it on Google Classroom with us?
