We have recently began our new topic; Global Goal 4 – Quality Education. We have been studying education in both Scotland and other countries and as a class, we decided we would like to raise money for ‘Send my friend to school’ charity. We decided in order to raise money for this charity, we would like to make friendship bracelets and sell them. We made a power point, which we presented to the rest of the school and we have made excellent posters to advertise our bracelets. Bracelets will be sold on Monday 27th February at break time in the foyer.

Primary 2 had an extremely busy week filled with lot’s of exciting activities. Thank you to all the visitors who helped to make this an amazing week! We have learned a lot about  the importance of having both a healthy body and mind. Here are some of the activities we were lucky enough to participate in:

Sophie McLellan ‘We enjoyed dressing up as dentists.’

James Doran ‘I loved using the firemen’s hose to spray water.’

Olly Watters ‘The guide dogs were my favourite.’

John Joe Hodge ‘I loved doing tae kwon do.’

Derry Finnigan ‘I love Bella the cow.’

Ana Hearns ‘The dancing was my favourite, I liked showing lots of attitude.’

Anton Heinrich ‘The tractor ride was good fun.’

Erin Kane ‘I liked dressing up as a caterpillar.’

On friday we had an extremely exciting morning when Zoo Lab came to visit us! We couldn’t believe that we got to see and touch a snake, a rat, a tarantula and a giant snail! We were very brave and loved learning all about these animals! What an amazing end to the week!!

Primary 2 had a fantastic day dressing up as scientists and participating in science lessons. We especially enjoyed a visit from Generation Science! We learned all about magnets and got to work in groups to complete different magnet activities.
