Sharing the learning
P5b have been enjoying music lessons with Mrs Carey. We have been learning about rhythm and pitch! We have been using our focusing skills and our team working skills when working in groups to throw and catch the ball in time with the song.
Mrs Carey taught us a new song which has actions. Ask us to teach you it at home!!
We have be making smoothies like Tootie Fruity, Tropical Tornado and Blueberry Blast.
We picked our own groups and we worked together to make them following a recipe.
It was fun when we were making it and blending it.
Tatiana took photos and video which will be shared later.

Problem solving in action!
Using a variety of problem solving strategies including acting it out and making a list / table, p5b successfully figured out how many combinations of strips could be made using the 6 pieces of football kit.
Ask us at home to tell you how we did it!
Mistakes are beautiful
As part of our mindset month, we looked at making different patterns. This lesson focused on the trying multiple solutions. It reinforced the importance of trying different approaches.
On Friday Primary 2 were introduced to the Read, Write, Count bag which we will be taking home at the end of the November.
We listened to the story and created a storyboard to show the beginning, middle and end.
As part of Scottish Book week we will be exploring other ways to use the resource bag.
Last week was Maths Week Scotland and Primary 2 had great fun exploring different mathematic concepts.
We used Bee bots to develop our vocabulary of movement and direction. The Beebots also encourage early coding skills.
We also explored tessellation and explored how shapes could fit together. We used the 3D shapes to create our own freestanding structures and discussed the features of different free day shapes.
We also took part in an outdoor number hunt using a map of the school to find the locations.
We also continued to work on using the chromebooks independently.
As part of the whole school homework, Primary 2 produced awesome maths at home photographs.
