World Book Day 2017!

To celebrate World Book Day we have been doing lots of different reading activities.

Firstly, we had a Book Blitz where we had 1 minute to tell someone all about or favourite book! When the buzzer rang we moved to a new partner.

After that we took part in the World Book Day Big Quiz and then we read our favourite stories to our Fab Friends.

It has been a really fun day!

My favourite part of the day was the quiz! Samantha

I really liked doing the Book Blitz, it was my favourite part of the day. Harry

It was fun to read all the Horrid Henry stories and reading to our Fab Friends.- Daniel

 

 

Social Dancing!

When reading one of our Katie Morag stories, we were learning what a ceilidh dance was and wanted to know more about the dances. Primary Six and Seven were learning ceilidh dances for their Robert Burns afternoon and very kindly offered to show Primary Two and teach them some new moves!

We all had so much fun watching the older boys and girls and then they taught us how to dance the Gay Gordons!

Thank you Primary Six and Seven!

Rights Respecting

Primary Two have been looking again at the rights of every child.

We understand that we should have these rights but some children so not have all of their rights met. We thought about the rights that were most important to us.  To celebrate 70 years of UNICEF helping boys and girls, we thought of a wish we would like every child to have across the world. We wrote our wish in a bubble and put it in our wishing garden. dsc00740

Triangles 30.01.17

This week in Numeracy we have been learning about Numbers to 20.

We were using chimney calculations and learning about tens and units.

I found it difficult but I am getting better at the calculations- Maddie

I found it easy!- Sammy R

 

Squares 30.01.17

This week in Numeracy we have been learning about data handling.

We made our own table and bar graph on Favourite Pets and Favourite Programmes.

We used tally marks to record the Primary One and Primary Three answers.

It was a bit tricky- Daniel

I liked that we chose one pet or programme each- Jessica

Active Phonics

In Primary 2 we learn our weekly spelling words through Active Phonics. On a Monday and Wednesday we go to the hall and carry out different activities like skipping, throwing bean bags and throw and catch. We work with a partner and spell our words as we throw or skip.

It think it is lots of fun! Muneeb

I think it makes it easier to learn my new spelling sounds! Yocheved
