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.
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.
Let’s go fly a kite!
As part of our topic we have been looking at traditional toys. Primary 2 created their own kites using paper and art straws. We had the perfect windy day to test them out.
This was an excellent opportunity to practise essential cutting skills.
Mistakes are beautiful
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.
Maths Week Scotland
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.
