Primary 2 are celebrating the end of their mini-election this afternoon with a post-election party.  (If the photo is a little fuzzy it is because we are very enthusiastic about our dancing!)

We formed parties with cool logos and slogans and decided what our policies would be.  Then we created manifestos and elected party leaders by thinking very hard about the things we would most like to happen in Kirkhill Primary.  Here are some of the children showing off the rosettes for their parties!

On Thursday we had a secret ballot to vote for our favourite candidates.

 

On Friday the results were in!
Ms Edmonstone came to announce the winners.   The Trusted Party from 2b won!  Some of us really liked their manifesto so we voted for them.

We have all learned so much about elections.  When we are old enough to vote we will know exactly what to do!

Some of us have been busy with Hama beads and Kapla in the atrium!  How do you like our creations?  (We took the photos by ourselves too!)

Although we don’t issue homework in June, we are posting a couple of high-frequency word lists because some parents had said that they would like to revise these over the holidays.  Remember not to tackle too many words at once – it’s better to make sure that your child is completely confident about reading/writing one small set of words before you introduce any new ones.

We had a lovely afternoon yesterday walking up to Mearns Castle to see where people may have lived in the past.  We had some questions to answer such as:

Where would the food and drink have been stored?

How many storeys does the castle have?

Thank you to Mrs Macpherson and Mrs Dee who came with us. We were lucky that the sun shone for us!

 

We have had great fun learning how to sew.  We are making a bookmark.  It is quite tricky threading the needle and not getting the thread in knots!

Homework for week beginning Monday 20th May to Friday 31st May

We are going to hold a Medieval banquet.  We would like the children to make something to wear from recycled materials e.g. a shield, a hat, a crown, a cloak.

We will let you know the date of the banquet when we have finalised the details.

Spelling

We are not sending spelling words as homework this week, but will still be working on them in class.  If you would like to practise this week’s words on your own, you can find them by clicking the links below.

Wednesday 15th of May was National Numeracy Day.  To celebrate, 2c had some extra time to enjoy playing numeracy games.   We added, we subtracted, we  multiplied and divided, we doubled and halved, we rounded, we explored tens and units… but most of all, we had fun using lots of the numeracy skills we have learnt!

 

P2c had a super morning yesterday, enjoying a gymnastics session with Jacqui and Kirsty.  Everyone created great balances, travelled along the equipment, practised rolls and  jumped off the apparatus. We had a fantastic time! Thank you very much!
