We Have Some Questions About The Middle Ages…
We have just begun to learn about the Middle Ages and already we have a lot of things that we want to know more about!  For example:
-
Why did they never eat potatoes?
-
Was all of the water too dirty to drink?
-
What was that nasty disease with the purple spots that lots of people got?
-
How did people get in and out of their castles if there were moats all the way round them? And if they had a way to get out, could their enemies not just sneak in the same way?
-
What sort of clothes did rich people and poor people wear? Did they have dresses and jeans?
-
If there was no electricity, how could they see to do things at night?
We are a curious lot in P2c! We are looking forward to being History Detectives again and finding the answers to our questions!
Some more photos from our fabulous trip.
What Will We Be Learning in Term 4?

We have posted four different versions so that you will be able to see the Numeracy work being tackled by your child’s own group as well as all the other areas of the curriculum.
Thank You to Our Parent Helpers!
The teachers and children of Primary 2c would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Stott and Mrs Reekie for coming on our trip to New Lanark and helping to keep everyone happy and safe! Their help was very much appreciated.
They also carried out their roles as official photographers beautifully. Here are just a few of their photos – more to follow soon!
Beat The Street
Thank you very much all the parents who came and helped us with our Beat the Street walk this morning. We’ve had a look at the leaderboard and this is what we saw!
Yippee! Wonderful! This is amazing!
What a nice way to end Term 3! Well done to all the children, families, friends and staff members who helped gain all these points.
Holiday Maths Practice Requests
Some of our parents have asked for vertical calculations to be sent home so that the children can have a wee practice now and again over the holidays – just to keep everything fresh in their minds.
Here are two links that will generate addition and subtraction worksheets for you if you want to have a go.

http://themathworksheetsite.com/subtract_multi.html
We recommend that (just for now) the Cubes and Cones choose the options with no carrying or exchanging (called borrowing on the website), the Cuboids choose addition with carrying but subtraction without exchanging and the Spheres choose the options with both carrying and exchanging.
Happy calculating!
Friendship Web
We have been thinking about friendship and we made a Friendship Web. You get a ball of string and throw it to someone else while you say something nice about them. Then that person keeps hold of a bit of the string and says something nice while they throw the ball to somebody else. Soon you have a whole web of nice things and everybody feels happy.
Mystery Poets
Which talented poets wrote these amazing poems full of WOW words and similes?  We’ll give you a clue… the poets are from 2C!  (Keep checking the blog – we’ll reveal the mystery poets at the end of the week!)
BIG REVEAL! The red poem is Daniel’s and the green one is Oliver’s!
Learning About Life Cycles
We have been learning about the life cycle of a plant. We learned that plants begin as seeds.  When they begin to grow they put up shoots and roots grow down into the soil. We dug up one of the daffodils from the classroom to see the roots and the bulbs.
When the plants have some little leaves on them they are called seedlings.  After a while they become big plants with flowers on them. The flowers make seeds and the whole cycle can start over again with new plants.
We cut up some fruits and vegetables to see the seeds inside.
