Welcome to our Class Blog. Our teacher is Mr Edge :)
Hi everyone,
Today I’ve sent each child home a copy of ‘The Legend of Spud Murphy’ by Erin Colfer. In the coming weeks, this will be the focus of our reading activities.
I’ll make a digital copy available in Seesaw, in due course, for any families who weren’t in today and won’t be able to collect a copy from the office tomorrow.
Kind regards,
Gordon
This week for our Outdoor Learning we looked at what happens to the things we throw away, and how what we recycle can be reused, rather than ending up in a landfill. We then went outside to our Science Garden to look at how we can compost organic material and reuse it to help our plants/vegetables grow. Did you know that the fruit & vegetables in our allotment are growing in 50% soil, 50% compost?
Today we had a new addition to our classroom – a role play shop 😀 We’ve even been using it to practise our french! 🇫🇷
Delighted to be awarded our Level 2 RHS School Gardening Award yesterday 😀 Congratulations P2c! 🌱🥕🍓 🥳🎉

Today we looked at the seeds we’d bought to see what was ready to sow/plant in February. We then read the advice on the back of the packets before working in groups to plant potatoes, beans & radishes in our allotment 🥔 🌱
In preparation for our assembly, and as part of our technologies learning, today we made chocolate crispy cakes 😀

Primary 2 were delighted to get the chance to explore lots of different climates around the world using our virtual reality headsets 🌍 🏝 🏞 🌒
This week we’ve been busy planting strawberries and lavender in our allotment, and installing a ‘ladybird tower’ to encourage wildlife to our outdoor space 🍓🐞🌿
Here’s some photos from our literacy activities this week.
This week the children have moved onto a new, more challenging, level of reading books, which you’ll notice in the books sent home next week. 📖
The children are welcome to borrow any of the library books in the classroom if they’d like to read them at home, and I’ve attached below a list of books recommended for P1-3 if you’re looking for any ideas 📚
In P2c we’ve been looking at the abstract work of South Korean artist ‘Serena’ and exploring different media and technologies we can use to create artwork. Here we created our own versions of one of her pieces using a range of tools and techniques.
