We had a great time celebrating World Book Day (we made it World Book week) in March by listening to and working on Fantastic Mr Fox 🦊

First we learned about alliteration.

Then we used what we had been learning about the different characters in the story to write a character description.

After that we discussed how the farmers were feeling and we created ‘wanted’ posters for Mr Fox.

We enjoyed using the puppets in the theatre to retell parts of the story.

Finally, we made fox masks and recreated the fantastic feast from the book by chopping fruit and making fruit kebabs.

We were delighted to receive our World Book Day books and we enjoyed reading them in class.

WOW! What a lot of hard work and preparation went into solo talks this week. I LOVED listening to all your wonderful presentations and learning lots about you and your interests. You all spoke confidently and clearly and everyone demonstrated excellent listening skills with lots of appropriate questions being asked. Well done Primary 2 🌟👏

Today we had lots of fun celebrating Robert Burn’s 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We peeled and chopped vegetables to make Scotch Broth soup 🥣

We made Scotland flags 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We listened and danced to bagpipes 💃🕺

Miss Donaldson played Auld Lang Syne on the fiddle for us 🎻

We recited The Sair Finger poem (video will be posted on Google Classroom)

We all tried our soup, oatcakes and shortbread.

What a great day!

Lots of fun has been had this month in Primary 2.
We worked really hard on our Nativity which turned out absolutely fantastic! You were all super stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Santa’s reindeer and a couple of friendly elves came to visit. 🦌🦌

We all had a great time at our party, especially when Santa came and told us we have been so good this year 🎅🎁

A huge thank you to Rory’s mum who sent in lovely Christmas ornaments for us to decorate 🎨

Finally, look at these amazing identical pictures the girls designed together 💖

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and will see you next year!

What a busy October we have had! 🍂
We went a walk to learn about houses and different buildings in our local area. We used a checklist and made notes to record what we saw.

Afterwards we all helped to construct a 3D cardboard construction of our walk.

We love playing with our 3D Barrhead map.

In Numeracy we have started learning about numbers up to 100 and we have been doing lots of measuring and creating patterns.

In Literacy we wrote magical Halloween spells 🪄🎃👻 Using bullet points to list the ingredients and bossy verbs in the instructions. We had some brave volunteers read their magic spells out to the class 👏🌟

Happy Halloween everyone, I hope you all have a great weekend 🎃👻

What a great start we’ve all had in Primary 2 🌟🌟

In Literacy we’ve started learning about proper letter formation, the alphabet, spelling and sentence structure.

In Numeracy we have been working on addition and subtraction, numbers to 30, days of the week, months of the year and we’ve been learning to set calculations out in our jotters.

We have also had fun making birthday cards for our friends, writing a class promise to each other and creating fabulous art work!

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

Thank you,

Mrs Brown
