What a busy week back! It has been lovely to hear about P2’s holidays! We even wrote about our holiday during writing with Miss McLemon and produced some great recounts. Our school photographs were taken this week which I am sure you are all looking forward to seeing.

During Literacy we have been working hard at spelling our words with the ‘ck’ sound. We enjoy our active spelling stations and playing pairs to match the words to a picture. We have also been discussing the importance of reading and created butterflies with our favourite books on them. We chose butterflies because reading gives you wings!

During Numeracy we have been continuing to explore money. We have been learning about the value of each coin and using coins to make different totals. P2 can’t wait to help their grown ups with their shopping!

Due to school photographs, we had our PE in class this week. We enjoyed doing some yoga and dancing to move our bodies!

Have a lovely weekend, see you next week.

Well done and thank you for all your hard work this term P2! I hope you have a wonderful holiday and I’m looking forward to hearing all about it when we come back! Miss Ross

This week has been a busy week with lots going on in class!

This week in PE we have been continuing possession games. We enjoyed playing a game where we had to collect all of our team’s colour bean bag but we could steal another team’s and put it back in the middle too!

In numeracy we have been working so hard consolidating our addition skills. We have also started to look at money and the different coins and notes that we can use.

We have been working together to build our own castles! First, we carefully planned our designs and thought about what materials we would need. Then we worked in small groups to bring our designs to life! It has been so fun and the models look amazing!

Primary 2 have been busy this week celebrating Maths Week Scotland! Find out what we got up to below.

As part of Maths Week Scotland, we looked at how maths is used in many of the things we do every day. We created posters in groups to show we use maths everyday, when driving a car, when going to the shops and how people who do different jobs might use maths.

We also explored Maths in Motion through dance. We had to count to the beats of the music, think about what direction we were travelling in and think about what shapes our bodies were making. We also realised that our heart beats faster when we dance and wondered if we could record this!

During PE, we have been continuing to develop our skills through possession games. We worked at different stations to practise passing the ball, throwing bean bags into the correct hoop and rolling the ball through a small goal.
