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!
Primary 2 had lots of fun dancing and playing games at our Christmas Party today. We even had a special visit from Santa!
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!!
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. 
Primary 2/2 had a great day learning all about children in need. They did fantastic Pudsey Bear imaginative writing and made Pudsey Bear headbands.
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! 
Today, we had lots of fun following a map to find stars hidden round the outdoor area. When we found a star we labelled that section of our map. We have been learning that a good map is a map that is labelled clearly. When we got back to class we added any finishing touches to our map.
We listened carefully to the story “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” and took notes on our whiteboard about the places the characters passed on their bear hunt. We used our notes to create a map. Check out our fantastic maps below.
Today we used our 5 senses to write firework poems. We then used printing to create wonderful pictures. Have a look at our amazing work.
