Forces Fun

In science we have been learning about forces. We have explored the forces push and pull.

Today we went outside and took part in push and pull activities.

First we played tug of war in groups using the pull force. Then we pushed the football around the cone. We had fun pulling the stilts from one end of the playground to the other. We then set up planks of wood and used the force of push to knock them down with a ball.

 

Easter planting

We have been learning about living things in science. We combined our knowledge of how to grow and look after a plant with some Easter fun!

We made Easter bunny plant pots and then planted our flower bulb using soil.

We put water in our plants to give them food and the boys and girls will continue to give their bulbs water and sunlight over the Spring break so they can grow into beautiful flowers.

Good luck P2/2!

 

 

Now and Then

We have had a busy few weeks settling back into school. We have started our new IDL, Now and Then. Today, we enjoyed looking at artefacts and making predictions of what we thought each object was called and used for. Take a look at our pictures below and see if you know what each object is. The answers are at the bottom of the post.


Object 1 is a rug beater. Object 2 is a school desk. Object 3 is a wash board. Object 4 is a hoover. Object 5 is a radio. Object 6 is a potato masher. Object 7 is a school bag. Object 8 is binoculars. Object 9 is a infant toy. Object 10 is a television. Object 11 is a phone.

Christmas Sleigh Challenge

This morning the boys and girls were challenged to build a sleigh for Santa. The sleigh had to fit two presents, stand on its own and have a seat for Santa (Buddy the elf visited to try it out for Santa). Pupils chose to work individually, in pairs or in small groups. They planned their sleigh on whiteboards and discussed which construction material they were going to use. Everyone was successful in building their sleigh!


 

Right angle hunt

Today we were learning about right angles.

We learned that when two lines meet they create an angle and shapes like rectangles and squares have right angles.

We created angle eaters and had great fun going on a right angle hunt around our classroom.

We recorded our findings on our whiteboards.

Have a look at all the right angles we found!!

Ice painting

Primary 2/2 have been learning all about water in science.

Today we were learning that water turns from a liquid to a solid when it freezes below 0°C and we call this ice!

We explored the different things that we can do with ice and we used ice painting to create fantastic pictures.

Measuring

Some of us used cubes and counters to measure the lengths of different lines. We also measured how tall we each were and stood in a line in order of height!
