A few weeks ago, we visited our local library! We were lucky to borrow a book and we have been dedicating some time in class to read and enjoy the books taken from the library. We have explored different genres and how reading the blurb at the back of the book can tell us a little about what it is going to be about.

We enjoyed going down to the hall  for a workshop with the digital leaders to celebrate mini robots day! It was fun to see how we can use problem solving and coding skills to control the different digital equipment.

P2b working through stages of Formal Self Portraiture. The pupils discussed the science of the human face. Using the super power of looking resulted in an exceptional start to their project! Finished work to follow!

This morning primary two gathered together for a prayer service to celebrate the beginning of Advent. We discussed that Advent is a time of preparation and that Jesus is the true meaning of Christmas. As a year group, we are taking part in The Travelling Crib project, where children will get to take the nativity scene home to share with their families and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas together. Please tweet and share any pictures when it is your turn!

Today the reading committee, invited us up to our new soon to be school library for a hot chocolate read along! We really enjoyed hearing the story of ‘The wee lassie who swallowed a midgie’. We identified some rhyming words and discussed scots slang such as ‘lassie’ meaning girl.

Last week we did some teamwork games in P.E as a whole  year group. We enjoyed working  with our friends in the other classes.

This week we have been learning about sound and vibration and taking part in practical activities. Here we are guessing sounds and seeing sound waves in water.

This week we have been practising for our learning assembly. We are so excited to share this with the rest of the school and to perform in front of our families!

We finished our angles and directions topic in Numeracy.  We loved using the Bee-Bots to consolidate our knowledge on our lefts and rights, using right angle turns and following instructions! We set up a race track and programmed the Bee-Bots with the correct directions to follow.
