We had a different ICT class this week as the ICT suite was unavailable. Instead, we used the Leap Pads and laptops. Great fun!

All about Water
We looked at the different properties of water using different apparatus. We discovered that water is fluid and takes the shape of any container.
RME Masterclasses
In our Masterclasses, which visited each P2 teacher, who taught us something about a different religion. In P2.5, we learned about Christianity and what happens in churches and their features.
Free Time
We all love Free Time at the end of the week. We have Free Time as a reward for good work; having a positive attitude; being kind to others and for good listening. It is also a good opportunity to socialise and share with each other. If anyone has to have their name on the chart for breaking our rules, they can get it taken off by settling back down in class and doing the best they can.
Relaxed Entry
Our doors open at 8.45am every morning. Classes are supervised by classroom assistants and Mrs Arbuckle is usually in class preparing work and catching up with the children. (Coco the cat got a new cat flap!)
When the children come in to class, they take off their jackets, unpack their bags ( snacks in their basket and homework out on the table to be marked) and order lunch on the board. It really helps to settle the children and we are ready to start at 9am.
When all that is done, they settle down to read a book from their book basket. We were reading books we knew from Primary 1 (this develops confidence in reading) but we have now moved on to reading our much loved “Floppy” books. We love reading them and looking at the wonderful illustrations.
