We have such wonderful confident individuals in P3b – reading with fantastic fluency and expression. 
P3b – a fun filled week of learning
This week the children have displayed a fantastic “can do” attitude when faced with new challenges. The children have been learning about road safety and demonstrated an ability to write very clear instructions for us all to follow. We have also further developed our procedural writing skills through drama where the children were challenged to give clear instructions to their partner and demonstrate to the class how to make a pizza! Lots of fun was had! We continued with our karate maths and took our learning outdoors for our first loose parts play session. Here the children discovered plenty of learning opportunities: balancing with blocks; teamwork for dens; imaginary play; and learning “the power of yet” when sharing with our friends. Another fantastic week in P3B!
Welcome to our P3B Blog space. The children have had a wonderful first full week back at school. The children have adapted very well to new class routines and continue to strive to be their best self in everything that they do. I have attached some pictures of our week and I am sure the children will discuss their learning with you. Have a fantastic weekend in the sunshine and I will see everyone next week.

Sports Day
Sport Day – Wow what a fun morning we had!
Well done to all the participants, everyone tried there best and enjoyed the activities arranged by Miss Kelly and our active sport coordinator Ryan.
Animation
Primary 2 drew their own reindeers.
Then used an app called ChatterKid to make their own animations!
They had to capture an image and use the record functions to record the speech. Pupils were then able to add filters, stickers and text.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to share them all but there will be plenty more opportunities!
Nativity
Over the last few weeks Primary two have been working hard to prepare and p
roduce a nativity. We had a preview with popcorn during the week.
We hope everyone enjoys our Nativity.
Advent Mass
This term has been full of virtual firsts, therefore it was only appropriate as we come towards Christmas that we had a virtual Mass with Father Joe. Primary 2 sat reverently and showed an awareness of the importance of Mass. Well done Primary 2.
Hyacinth update
After planting our bulbs back in October, our bulbs have grown and are nearly ready to blossom.
It is likely the hyacinths will open during the holidays so pupils will be taking them home before the end of term.
As part of this process we’ve been learning how to look after plants but also recognising the role we have in nurturing the world around us!
Salt dough decorations
We were given salt dough decorations to decorate. Before painting Primary 2 had to plan different patterns before deciding on their favourite and final.
Primary 2 loved using the paint and we will be exploring use of paint more after the new year. As you can see our final designs are incredible.
Pupils took these home on Monday to hang on their Christmas trees.
Christmas Dinner
Primary 2b loved their Christmas dinner. It was delicious meal and served by our fabulous lunch ladies and an oddly familiar elf! Our Christmas meal was very special.
