For our new Mearns Masters pathway we have been learning to code using Scratch jr and other coding resources. We have created excellent projects choosing our backgrounds, characters and coding our characters to move across the page.

 

We used what we had learned from Scratch jr to begin to plan a digital story. We thought about the setting and characters that would be included in our story.

The children also had time to code using our Bee-Bots and used the challenge cards to help them!

While we have been tinkering on the IPads and learning how to code we also have been tinkering with technology toys in our areas, here are some of our creations!

P2.6 read the bog baby and found out that bog babies had gone missing! We made missing posters for our bog babies! We went on a bog baby hunt and found some bog babies in the forest!

We made missing posters to help find the bog babies! 

We took part in a maths race to the finish! We all started with an equation and worked through each equation as they appeared on the whiteboard.

    

In Primary 2.6 the children have decided they would like to learn how to play hockey. We began learning how to control the ball this week and played some fun games to practise ball control.

In numeracy we have been working on measure and this week the children estimated classroom objects then measured them in centimetres using a ruler.

In literacy we have started a novel study on the bog baby. The children predicted what they think will happen in the book using the front cover.

The children painted salt dough ornaments today to hang on their tree or in their house! They all looked excellent and we can’t wait to see the final result when they add the final touches next day! 😁🎄

We also did some Christmas maths problem solving and took time working out the answers before peer marking with our friends!

We had great fun at our Christmas party yesterday! We started the party with a boogie in our classroom and then moved onto the gym hall where we had a great time celebrating with P2.5! We finished off with a snack and a pantomime in class! 🎄🥳

 

 

 

  

  

  

  

  

     

  

  

  

We have been working hard on our reading comprehension skills and using our reading books to help us answer the comprehension questions. We use traffic light stamps in class to self assess our work.

    

    

   

   

The boys and girls of primary 2.6 all looked excellent in their sheep costumes for our nativity and did so well at singing and dancing! Well done! All your hard work was worth it with an amazing performance from everyone!

After lunch we have reading time by the fire, we choose a book and Miss Hamilton reads this to us by the crackling fire.

Some of the children collected enough dojo points last week to spin our prize wheel in class! Well done to all!
