We have started a new term and have been learning lots of new skills. Find out about some of these below!

Science

Adam, Olivia, Haniya, and Finlay said “We have been learning about different types of Forces.” “A force can be a push, pull or a twist on something.” “We went outside to find examples of Forces.” “The gate can be pushed or pulled.” We will soon be carrying out investigations and reporting our results.

Social studies

Emma said “Our transport topic is fun!” Mia could talk about the significant individual we have been learning about.  We have been learning about George Stephenson who was an engineer and was known as the ‘Father of the Railways’ for his work on steam engines and making train tracks.  He built the Rocket, a very fast locomotive that won a race,that made him famous.  Next we are looking at the significant individual Henry Ford so that we can investigate his influence in the car industry and then finally we will learn about the Wright brothers.

Technologies

We have been working on accessing our emails this term. “I can open an email through Outlook and then click on the link to get to the website” said Eve.  We enjoyed emailing the other Primary 2 class to ask them a question about their favourite pet so that we could then retrieve and use this information in our maths lesson.

We are being creative in our Transport topic by designing and building junk model trains. We worked cooperatively to come up with our plan and now are just gather the junk so we can get building.

 

Expressive Arts

Campbell, Rachael, Isaac and Arsh said “We have been developing our skills using line and colour to recreate a rose, inspired by the poem from Robert Burns “My love is like a red red rose.” We will be now by looking at the work of Charles Rennie MacIntosh to help us develop our skills further.

French

Jock, Jessica, Holly and Matthew said “We have been learning how to order food in french using the café we have set up.” “We have been getting better at asking each other questions.” and “ We play lotto to help us learn our numbers up to 20 in french.”

R.M.E

Alasdair, Sufi and Ailis said “We have been learning about different places of worship and we have looked inside a church and synagogue.” We know that people must wash their hands, face, feet and throat before entering the Mosque.

H.W.B and P.E

Rameen and Euan said “We have been practising throwing and catching using beanbags and balls.” “We have been learning how to hold a badminton racquet and hit a shuttlecock correctly.”  We have spent this term developing our control of the shuttlecock and the flow by practising hitting it to a partner.  We have been learning how to keep healthy through exercise, diet and brushing our teeth.

Achievements  We have been sharing lots of achievements in class, and are very proud of every single one! Some of these are on display on our Achievement Tree.
