This week we continued our learning about Wassily Kandinksy. The children enjoyed using crayon resist to recreate some of his famous abstract art work.

Some pupils even chose to recreate some abstract art in their own time.

The junk modelling station has been a hit this week with lots of pupils building and designing lots of wonderfully imaginative ideas.

In this photo, the children were creating suits of armour.

Outside in the playground, the children were using their risk taking skills to climb.

Some of the girls were enjoying practising their gymnastics and cart wheels. There was lots of lovely teamwork occurring and some children were helping others to p[perfect their techniques.

On Monday, we watched Scotland’s first football game in the Euros tournament. The pupils made flags and banners to support the National team.

Towards the end of the week we started creating our own windfarm sunset paintings. This aligns with our current context for learning – renewable energy. Before beginning, the children looked at pictures of sunsets and identified the colours they would most likely use. These will be finished next week.

Well done P2. Cannot believe this is us almost in to our final week of the year. 🙁

Another busy week in P2. All of the pupils have been continuing to work super hard.

On Friday of last week, we began looking at the work of the artist Kandinsky. The children enjoyed recreating his famous ‘circles’ design.

Some wonderful and imaginative creations have been designed and built this week. This maze is built over 3 levels.

This obstacle course design was built collaboratively by the three boys. They spent ages working together, using various materials from around the class.

Once again, we got outside and enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air. The children had lots of fun developing their risk taking and climbing skills.

Well done P2!

A short week this week after the holiday weekend…

We enjoyed some of the sunny weather at the start of the week. We spent some time in the outdoor play area and the children took part in the potted sports day on Tuesday.

Some of the pupils have loved using the building blocks and jenga to design and build symmetrical creations.

Some of the maths groups have been working on their vertical calculations. Some are now even able to carry and exchange.

Lots of children have been creating books. They have been writing and illustrating about various fiction and non-fiction story lines.

The creative station has been as busy as ever. With lots of cool ideas being used to design and create.

Well done P2. Keep it up!
