In P2c we decided to create our own allotment in the playground outside our classroom. Last week we used the iPads to research different fruit and vegetables that we could grow, to see what we’d be able to harvest before the summer holidays. 🥕🍓 Having done that, today we had 2 tons of top soil / compost delivered! We then used it to fill up our raised beds 😀🌱

News & Updates
Hi everyone, Happy New Year! Hope you all had a lovely time off 🙂 Just a few updates for P2c:
- Super Skills – As a school we are no longer doing Friday Fun last thing on a Friday. In its place all children will be taking part in a ‘Super Skills’ programme where they will be working with other children across their year group to develop new skills. In P2 our area of focus is currently Expressive Arts – specifically Art, Drama & Music. Each child in P2 will be assigned a group: 1, 2 or 3 and will then rotate every three weeks between myself (Music), Mrs Wallace (Art) & Miss Itcovitz (Drama) during this last slot on a Friday.
- PE Kits – All PE Kits have been sent home today, if you get a chance to put them in the washing machine and send back that would be fantastic.
- Outdoor Clothing – If you have any outdoor clothing that you can send in for your child that would be fantastic: wellie boots, waterproof trousers etc. (If not already done so) We can store this in the classroom, so it doesn’t have to go home/come in each week.
- Cards/Trading Toys – If possible could I ask that any Pokemon cards/other trading toys aren’t brought into school, as they can end up causing arguments with other children.
Thank you 🙂
Gymnastics
Today Primary 2 were developing their gymnastics skills using a vault, springboard and benches, as well as practicing different balances 🤸♀️
Outdoor Learning: Planting Daffodils
As part of our outdoor learning today, we planted 420 daffodil bulbs in and around the trees in the field beside our school! 🌱🌼☀

Happy Holidays :)
