A SUPER busy week in P2 this week!!
We celebrated Health and Well Being week and took part in some fun activities which looked at different aspects of our well being. We discussed our mindset and how we can change this from negative to positive by getting rid of our ‘bad thought monsters’.
We also had a video call with the P6s during which they showed us some mindfulness activities to try if we are feeling worried or angry.
The pupils then choose their favourite strategy which they now know how to use to help calm themselves down.
For the final part of Health and Well Being week, we discussed why we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. From this the children went on to discuss how this concept is the same for humans – you should never judge someone you don’t know. The book swapping event then took place and everyone loved unwrapping their new books!
It was also Scottish Book Trust week. We were so lucky to be given our book bug bags home which had some lovely activities and books inside.
During some of our P.E time, we worked in pairs to give directions to our blindfolded partner. This helped us to experience what it would be like to live as a mole like Rocketmole.
Some of Friday afternoon was spent junk modelling. The children built rockets after studying the story of ‘Rocketmole’ throughout the week. The children worked in teams and then presented their final designs to the rest of the class
We had an Arctic discovery station in class this week. The pupils enjoyed role playing with the arctic animals and building ice bergs and glaciers.
The loose parts lab was busy as usual, with lots of pupils building and creating various designs.
The pupils loved our new glitter glue pens at the creative station.
Some of the pupils enjoyed playing with the 2D shapes at the tiling station. They created some wonderful designs.
Well done P2!
