A huge well done to everyone who did a solo talk in front of the class

You were all very clear and confident speakers, looked at your audience and answered questions from your classmates. I loved learning more about you, your life and your interests

Another month of learning in p2 and March is over already!

We had so much fun helping to raise money for Comic Relief on Red Nose Day.

We have been learning how to measure liquids and calculate volume and capacity. We can convert millilitres into litres (in steps of 1000) and we can make sensible estimates about measurements of water.

We had fun visiting the library at The Foundry as well as celebrating World Book Day in class

We are learning how recognise sounds and words in Mandarin with Miss Xu. It is really exciting exploring a language and culture different to our own.

We had a very special visit from the Fire Brigade!

We have been learning how to skip using the ropes. We are getting better each time. We love learning how to use skipping to help improve our fitness, burn some energy and most importantly …have fun!

What a fast month February has been!

We continued to work on our gymnastic skills including work on the wall frame.

We had a great time visiting P3 for their fundraising event for the RSPB. There were lots of fun activities and competitions for us to participate in

We have been learning about fractions. We can fold, cut, colour and identify shapes that have been split in half or into quarters. We really enjoyed showing off these skills during afternoon.

Thank you to all the adults who visited us. We always enjoy your visits and showing you what we’ve been up to

Happy New Year!
Primary 2 have settled well in to our new learning. We’ve learned lots about Scotland and Robert Burns this month. We’ve made a fact file, participated in a scavenger hunt to gather facts about Robert Burns, made Scotland flags and tartan kilts and finally learned the bridge grip while cutting vegetables to make Scotch Broth. We rounded off our learning with our own wee Burns Day celebration. Thank you Jaxon for bringing in a box of lovely shortbread to share with everyone. I will also share our recital of The Sare Finger on Google Classroom

In Numeracy, we have all been learning about ‘greater than’ and ‘less than’ and using the symbols within a calculation.

In PE we have participated in gymnastics, learning about balances, jumping in different positions and using various apparatus.

Finally, we’ve had lots of fun at Muddy Movers!

December has been a very busy month!
Thank you to all the children who brought in a favourite Christmas book wrapped up for under our Christmas tree, we have really enjoyed sharing all the books this month and also spending time reading books in our library corner

The lucky square game that we made for the Christmas fayre was a huge hit! We cut out all the squares and put them in a bag. Then Mrs MacDonald picked out the winning square. Congratulations to Caleb for picking the winning square.

I would also like to say a HUGE congratulations to all the children for putting on such a wonderful nativity performance, I think you’re all super stars

Harry and Lewis have been exploring symmetry with some of the construction blocks while Joel and Andrew have built amazingly detailed and tall towers with the Kapla.

On Tuesday Primary 4 came to visit us. We enjoyed listening to their snow globe adventure stories that they had written and we shared the books that we had made with them.

We have enjoyed making different Christmas crafts over the last couple of weeks too, including fingerprint Christmas trees, festive baubles and tree designing.

We have just finished off the year with a fun party and a visit from Santa

I hope you all now enjoy a restful and wonderful  holiday and look forward to seeing you all back in January.

Merry Christmas!

Our highlight this month was definitely getting a visit from Santa’s reindeer. We loved feeding them carrots and getting to pet them.

This week we also made fruit kebabs and then independently wrote a set of instructions.

A huge well done to all children who shared achievements this month. It’s always lovely to hear about your achievements outside of school

We finished off this week at our House Quiz, we were so proud to see one of our classmates being selected to play 

Now we look forward to a very busy December with our very special Nativity performance. We look forward to seeing you all there.

After reading Room on the Broom we decided to write our own spells. First of all we had to decide what the spell would make us do, lots of great ideas came from the children like making them fly, turning them invisible and glowing in the dark. Then we decided what ingredients would be needed to make the potion. Again we had some fantastic ideas, such as crushed bones, bat wings, slime, fireflies and blood! Finally, we wrote the instructions which concluded with a magical word.

After writing our potions and spells we read them to the rest of the class and enjoyed carving a pumpkin which had been donated to our class from Abbie in Primary 7

We recently enjoyed a taster session of Taekwondo with a visiting instructor. We all learned some new skills and had lots of fun while keeping active.

We started off October learning about numbers to 100. We can find the number after and before a given number, we can find the number between two numbers and complete a 100 square jigsaw.

We even enjoyed completing a scavenger hunt outside using numbers up to 100.

In Numeracy we’ve also been learning about symmetry and odd and even numbers.

In Literacy, we have enjoyed reading to each other, learning about proper and common nouns and we’ve just started learning about alphabetical order. Now we know the alphabet we are working on identifying the letter before and after a given letter. We can also put 3 consecutive letters in order.

Finley shared a fantastic book of his titled ‘All About Friends’ which lead to wonderful discussions about what makes a good friend and how to fix things when we fall out. We are all going to work on being a good, kind, caring friend who offers compliments and looks out for each other The children had great ideas for qualities they look for in a fantastic friend

We all enjoying playing outside at Muddy Movers.

I hope you all have a lovely October holiday week and look forward to hearing about all your adventures when we return.

What a lovely start to the year having our Open Afternoon and we loved having so many visitors joining us.

The children decided that they would like to do a mini topic on Julia Donaldson.  We have read, listened to and independently worked on The Snail and the Whale, Paper Dolls, Monkey Puzzle, The Scarecrows Wedding, A Squash and a Squeeze and What the Ladybird hear so far.

After reading Monkey Puzzle we enjoyed playing ‘Who am I?’

Can you guess what animal we would like to be?

Our Scarecrow pictures are work in progress…

We started this term working on throwing and catching and team games at PE.

Just a wee reminder that PE day is on a Monday and Outdoor Learning is on a Wednesday.  Please provide children with a spare pair of clothes, especially socks, on a Wednesday just in case we get wet and muddy.

Thank you,

Mrs Brown
