P3 were using Indis (small robots) to program. The robots use coloured mats to move in different ways.

An update about our learning in September!

Our Maths topic has been symmetry.  We displayed our learning by using cubes and other objects which we found in the classroom.  We also looked for symmetrical shapes in our environment.

Muddy Movers is still lots and lots of fun in P3!

A Summer reading achievement for OD 🌟

Running achievements for LW and JF 🌟🌟

Driving achievements for JS and HS 🌟🌟

We have been learning how to multiply by 2 and love using macaroni to help us!

Our new straw toys!

Heartstart – we revised how to put an unconscious casualty into the recovery position.  Great job by everyone!

What a busy, busy month!

SEPTEMBER 

We’ve been really busy during the first few weeks of September!

We listened to our first solo talk of the year which was fantastic.  We all listened very carefully and had lots of questions at the end.  Well done KC!

We made bread which was so much fun and tasted wonderful!

We also made butter which involved a serious amount of shaking!

We loved tasting produce from Scotland.  Our favourite was the cheddar cheese and oatcakes.

We have really enjoyed all our topic work so far this month 😊

 

Welcome back to school! 😊

We have  been very busy creating our Class Charter. This reminded us about our rights and we voted for our new class representative for the Equality Committee.

We all made a target for this term and drew a self portrait to go along with it. Great work, P3/2!

 

We all had lots of fun at Sports Day. Thank you to all our adults who came to support us 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏅

You may have already heard that we all wrote to the manager at Barrhead McDonalds asking, very politely, if they had any spare packs of UNO cards then we would love some to learn to play with our classmates. The manager was very kind and gave us the display unit with packs of cards and some books. We are all delighted!

A huge congratulations to Euan, Libby and Olivia who were awarded Highly Commended for their entries to Neilston Art Show. 🌟🌟🌟

April has been another busy month for primary 2! We came back to school feeling refreshed after the holidays and have been working hard 🙂

We have been learning all about musical notes and everybody worked hard to play some melodies on the glockenspiel. Then, as a special treat, we got to have a try of Miss Donaldson’s violin.  We asked lots of questions and all did a wonderful job of playing!

In RME, we have been learning about Islam. So far, we’ve found out about the 5 pillars of Islam as well as the holy month of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid. We had a great time making our own Eid decorations.

We love taking part in science experiments 🙂 At the minute, we’re learning about forces and have been testing how we can alter a force.

At the start of the month we enjoyed the cycle and scoot to school activities.

After being authors and illustrators we enjoyed sharing our books with Primary 1.

The highlight of the month has to be hearing everyone’s solo talks. You were all fantastic 🌟 I learned so much from each of you and hearing you all talk so confidently about a topic you love was amazing 🤩

This last week has been extremely busy! Learning more about place value, compound words, symmetry, walking to Co-op to hand in our Easter art competition entries and enjoying Easter scratch art are just a few of the things we’ve been busy with 😊

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and Spring break🐣🐰

We started February learning about Chinese New Year. We enjoyed hearing the story, from long ago, about the Jade Emperor naming each year of the zodiac after the first twelve animals to cross a fast flowing river. 2024 is the year of the dragon so we got very arty and made fantastic Chinese dragons and we tried writing numbers zero to ten in mandarin.

In Numeracy we have been working on a range of new concepts including fractions, money, symmetry, time, place value and greater and less than signs.

In PE we have been working on our gymnastics skills.

A huge thank you to all our visitors today, we always love having you join us for Open Afternoon 💜
