P2 Sharing the Learning Assembly

Well done Primary 2, the assembly was superb! Everyone who volunteered to speak did really well especially when using a microphone which is really tricky.

Here is a few photographs. We had a keen P7 photographer, who tried to get a picture of everyone speaking or singing!

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you to all the parents who were able to come along this morning.

Fairtrade

Primary 2 looked at different chocolate bars and made their own eye catching chocolate bars. These have been given in to our local COOP, thanks to Mr Mariner for arranging this.

Every bar needed to include the Fairtrade symbol and the COOP.

Sumdog Competition 

The East Renfrewshire Sumdog competition finishes on Thursday. There are currently 173 classes entered. Well done to the pupils who have been taking part at home!

Fairtrade Talk

We had a visitor today in Primary 2 to tell us a little more about our topic, Fairtrade.  One of our parents, Mr Mariner, is an employee of Co-op supermarket which sells a large range of Fairtrade products and is involved in many Fairtrade projects.

He told us about the lives of farmers and their families in other countries, and how we can help them by buying the Fairtrade products they produce.

He brought with him a selection of Fairtrade products his supermarket sells such as tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate, bananas and even cotton wool.

As a treat for listening to his presentation so well he gave all the children a cookie with Fairtrade chocolate chips and  a Fairtrade banana each to take home.

British Science Week

Journeys and Transport was the theme for 2019. In a nod to Science week Primary 2 were provided opportunities to think about different transport, from trains, planes to spaceships. Here is what they got up to…

A big well done to the children who spoke about Fairtrade,speaking in front of a large group of people can be very intimidating but they all showed they are Confident individuals.
