One Little Spark…

Last Friday Mrs Jamieson brought us some keys she had found outside our classroom. We don’t know where they came from but they helped feed out imaginations!

On Monday we had special visitors who were inventors who had created new ways to use everyday items.

Our slap band became a fairy path.

An empty tub became a box that would give you anything you wanted.

This isn’t just an empty cup, it is a fly catcher!

This metal phone stand became a chair for a mini magician.

At first it looks like a watch but actually it is a bridge for bugs to walk across.

This phone transformed into a teleporter to take you anywhere!

One day a hair clip, the next day a strawberry picker or an ice cream holder!

If you need something to peel your banana why not use this hole puncher?

Have a look at this fantastic vegetable picker! Pick your carrots from the ground in seconds!

Glasses to see the invisible!

This is not just a shiny coaster, it is a magic carpet for a magic cat!

We have been feeding our imagination every day. Take a look at some of our ideas.

We have created imagination lands all through the classroom.

Unfortunately on Friday our special keys disappeared!! We hope we find out what happened to them next week.

Measuring angles

When investigating shapes this week Primary 2C became curious about where the vertices meet. After some investigating we discovered that squares and rectangles look the same at the corners. We learned that these shapes have right angles. Looking around our classroom we found lots of right angles!
We even played a fun game where we had to compete against each other to turn the correct way under the teachers direction using the language right, left and right angle. We are having a semi final and final next week in our class. We are wondering where else we might use angles?

Welcome to Potions Class!

This week inspired by Hallowe’en and our book room on the Broom, we decided to create some witches potions.

First we had to decide what we wanted our potion to do, there were lots of varying requests. Next we went out sourcing some ingredients for our potions. Would you believe that in our playground we found eyes of dragons, ears of foxes and even frog poo!

When it was time to make the potions we carefully shared out ingredients, considering what magic each element would add to our spell and lastly we wrote about our experiences in our writing jotter.

Thank you to Miss Daily and Jenna for helping us with our potions this week. I hope everyone survived and nobody was put under the ‘Buy me a Fluffy Puppy’ potion!
