Taekwando

Trying out the breaker boards and learning some self defence was fab fun!

Boccia

We got really into Boccia with the red and blue teams competing against each other to see who could get their ball closest to the white ball target.

Numeracy

This week in Maths we have continued with our money learning to make amounts within £1. We have also been learning about data handling and carried out our own surveys to find out about the most popular colour of car going past our school. We learned how to use tally marks and recorded the data we needed to then answer questions.

Literacy

In Literacy this week we have been learning to tell the difference between a fact and an opinion. We also continued learning about the different ways to make the ‘aw’ sound – aw, au and al.

P. E

We have had lots of fun practising some obstacle races this week!

We finished off our Islam topic by finding out about the 5 pillars of Islam and then making our own prayer mats.

Learning about Islam

Our topic at the moment is Islam, where we have been learning about the prophet Mohammed and some of his stories. As it is currently Ramadan, we have been finding out all about it with some help from the children in our class. The boys and girls have loved learning about traditional dress and how to prepare for prayer . We had a go at making our own prayer mats after seeing Muriam’s beautiful mat that she brought in to share.

To all celebrating Eid – Eid Mubarak from p2A!

Literacy

This week we have been learning the ‘aw’ sound for our phonics work and will be looking at ‘au’ next week. We have also been learning to tell the difference between a fact and an opinion!

Numeracy

Our first week learning about money has been a great success, with us recognising the coins and making amounts within 20p to begin with. Here we are exploring some of the different coins and challenging our partners to make different amounts.

What beautiful weather to be out and exercising. This week we learned to skip with hoops and had a go at some different races.

Woodland

As we come to the end of our Second term in P2A, we have taken time to reflect on all that we’ve achieved so far. After a busy few months we are all very ready for our holidays! Have a great break everyone and I can’t wait to hear all of your stories when you are back.

Solo Talks 

We blew Miss Muir away with how fabulous our solo talks were. For homework we chose a hobby or interest to share with the class and brought in some things to help us talk about them. We then gave each other feedback about what went well and our next steps. Everyone tried very hard and should be extremely proud of themselves!

Woodland

We enjoyed having some time to play in our woodland, even though the weather kept changing between sun and snow! Some of us managed to catch some drops of snow on our tongues.

Easter crafting

Lots of bunnies could be found in P2A this week!

We had great fun during last weeks Science week. First of all we watched a live lesson all about the life cycle of chickens. We put the pictures in order with a partner and learned that when a chick hatches from its egg it’s called a hatchling.

We designed incubators for our chicks and made them using our play materials.

We have been busy practising our passing in P.E. Our challenge was to throw or kick a ball to our partner at the same time without them bumping each other.

Working on our balance and coordination in P.E.

P7 invited us to their class for a fabulous story telling afternoon. They created their own picture books to share, which were fantastic!

We had great fun celebrating book week last week. We watched some live author events and shared our favourite stories with our friends.

Thank you for some of the fantastic entries for our photo  competition. We had a go at recreating some famous stories in our Woodland too.

Odd and even

Here we are learning about odd and even numbers!

P. E.

In P.E. we have been having fun by focusing on controlling the ball and passing it to our partner in different ways.

Time

We had a go at making our own clocks outside using chalk and sticks. We then challenged our partners to tell different times and write it in digital notation.

This week we have enjoyed celebrating ‘national mother tongue week’. We have talked about some of the languages we know and loved hearing all about Doric from Erin.  We learned that a loon is a boy and a quine is a girl!

We practised saying hello and asking each other our names in French.

Ceilidh dancing

To round off our Scotland topic, we have been learning how to ceilidh dance!

We just loved playing in the snow on Thursday and had the best time building our snowmen! Some of us even managed to get Miss Muir with a sneaky snowball…

We have had a super busy couple of weeks in p2a, between preparing for our nativity and being involved in lots of fun festive events.

Here we are at the present room!

The boys and girls did such an amazing job learning their lines and all of our nativity songs. We were all over the moon to be able to share this with our families!

There is some excellent Christmas crafting taking place in the following photos.

Party time in P2a!

We’ve even managed to squeeze in some festive measuring.   Last week we had a challenge to draw different Christmas related pictures by making them different lengths and heights after learning about metres and centimetres.

This week we have had fun celebrating Book Week. The boys and girls chose their favourite books from class and shared it with some of their friends in class. It was lovely to hear about so many different books and even gave us some great ideas of books we’d like to read next!

We read the book Rocket mole and had a go at a STEM challenge to make our own catapults out of spoons and elastic bands to send Armstrong the mole (a pebble) into space!

After reading Stick man, the girls and boys made up their own stick stories during our woodland time. There was lots of creativity to be seen with our sticks going on lots of different adventures!
