The children were so excited for the first day of Spring today. We are looking forward to exploring Spring over the next few weeks.

On Monday we were working on our reading and writing skills by learning a new game. Why not ask us to play it at home.

On Monday afternoon we were very lucky and got to do a video call with a BBC Scotland weather reporter who taught us some Gaelic songs and words as well as telling us all about how she can forecast the weather. Thank you to our friends in the other Primary 2 classes for organising and joining us.

In the woodland we decided to let our creative sides free and create pictures using only things we found outside. We think you will agree they all look fantastic!

As we were leaving the woodland the rain started and very soon a rainbow, we all enjoyed dancing in the rain!!

Have a fabulous weekend!

This week our outdoor PE got cancelled because of the rain! We improvised and moved our tables in the classroom to start learning some tennis skills!

We had such good fun with tennis.

The balls kept bouncing away.

It was hard at first, but it did get easier.

We really liked it!

On Wednesday and Thursday we got to join a video call with a BBC weather reporter to learn some Gaelic as part of our Super Scotland topic.

Happy weekend!

Primary 2C hope you enjoyed coming in to visit us last week for the open afternoons.

This week we visited the front corridor to see our house banners. We created them at the house spirit afternoon led by the house captains. We enjoyed pointing out our own flowers.

This week we got more equipment for jumping and balancing in gymnastics.

It was like a gymnastics obstacle course with different stations. We worked in groups together.

I enjoyed the forward rolling.

I enjoyed doing all the obstacle course tasks.

I liked doing everything!

I liked doing the pencil jump off the high bench.

Have a lovely weekend!!

We were so busy last week we wanted to share some more of our learning with you.

We were learning about different types of Scottish animals.

There were lots of facts about the animals that we used to make a poster.

In the woodland we were focusing on Scotland themed activities.

We were making some bridges.

We made some flags.

We got covered in mud!   We worked together.

We shared some Scottish things we had at home.

With Miss McLemon we were looking at the moon and stars.

In Numeracy we looked at different ways to collect information and share it for our data handling topic.

Have a great week P2C!

Hello,

We had such a busy Friday afternoon with Mr Wilson in class we never got to look through our blog photographs to share our learning!

We will look at them together on Monday and share a blog then.

For now here is a preview of our afternoon…

On Thursday it was Burn’s Day. In our writing we wrote about Scottish characters. We really enjoyed dressing up in some tartan to get into the Scottish spirit.

We wrote about different characters we knew from stories. Some people wrote about Rabbie Burn’s whilst others wrote about Katie Morag, Merida or Mr MacTout from Family Ness cartoon. 

In maths we were learning all about playing different games to help us with our reading and number skills.

Some of us were very resilient when we didn’t win. There was lots of fun and laughter had.

Happy weekend everyone!!

This week we have been continuing our learning about Super Scotland!!

On Monday we looked at maps inside an Atlas that showed parts of Scotland.

We liked looking at the different places we recognised.

There were pictures of places we had been. We found Hadrian’s Wall, Newton Mearns, Glasgow and we even found the islands our school houses are named after!

On Tuesday it was very cold so we sat out some ice in a tray to see how long it took to freeze.

By Wednesday morning it had frozen. When we brought it into the class it started thaw which made the centre part spin round. It made the animals look like they were ice skating!

We went outside and put other things in our own trays to make frozen pictures!

On Thursday we learnt about tartan and how it is made. Vertical and horizontal lines are used to create a pattern.

Tartan use to be banned in Scotland until only a few hundred years ago. We found some of our own family tartans.

We made our own tartan patterns and found some tartan material to wear in the classroom.

We continued to build Scottish landmarks in the classroom.

Look at Edinburgh Castle!

Have a great weekend!

On Monday it was lovely to welcome everyone back into school.

We started our Super Scotland topic by learning a little bit about Scotland and making a cover for our Scotland topic books.

On Tuesday we went out into our playground to have a look at different types of homes we find in Scotland. We found a really interesting one in the grounds of Eastwood High. Did you know that Caplerig House is over 250 years old!

On Wednesday Miss McLemon was in our class all day and we started to look at our day and night topic in science.

On Thursday when we went to P.E. we started our gymnastics block. As you can see from the photos we are all super stars at making shapes and moving safely around the gym!

On Friday at assembly we learned that we will have a house spirit afternoon next week and that this months double house points are for ‘being curious’.

Have a super weekend!

On Monday we had our Christmas Party!!

It was fun!

We were great at the limbo!

We wrote about living in a snow globe.

We watched a story called The Snow globe Family. We also listened to songs about being in a snow globe.

We created our own snow globes. We hope we can look back at them over the years and remember our fabulous times in Primary 2.

Some Primary 7’s came to our class and taught us a lesson about winter.

We created penguins with paint.

In our digital advent calendar we were challenged to make a snowman in groups.

We needed to plan our snowman.

We then had to create them using different things from the classroom.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and gets to relax and spend time with friends and family.

I will see you all in 2024!!!

We had a great time at our Nativity this week. Thank you to all our grown ups for attending our show on Thursday. On Tuesday we had our dress rehearsal for Primary 7 and they were a great audience.
