w.b. 21.02.22 Snow Day and Scottish dancing

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…

W.b. 31.01.21 Highland dancing and Healthy eating

After a long awaited update, we are all very glad to be back together again in P2a!

Here we are getting back into the swing of things with our Literacy work. We have been working on the skill of answering questions using our reading books,as well as learning some new sounds.

Scotland topic

As part of our Scotland topic we have been learning how to do some Highland dancing. We started by learning the 5 positions our feet make, as well as the first step of the Highland Fling. Keeping our balance was a bit tricky, but we gave it a fantastic go!

We have been learning to find information by reading some Scottish fact files. The headings and subheadings helped us to find the information we wanted to quickly answer different questions.

It’s been so lovely having everyone back playing together again. Some of the children made Isla a cake out of loose parts for her birthday. She was very pleased with the surprise and even ‘blew out’ her candles!

We love using our class calendar to keep up to date with everything going on each month and were super excited when Muriam shared her very own handmade calendar with us!

Health & Wellbeing

We impressed Miss Muir with everything we already knew about keeping our bodies healthy. Working in teams, we discussed our ideas and recorded them together.
