Last week we were invited parents in to class to Come Learn with us. We thoroughly enjoyed having our parents in and it’s was great to see pupils talking about their number knowledge with familiar adults.

Our Place in Space
Primary Two have been loving our current topic, Our Place in Space. We had a free flow afternoon, where pupils worked across the classroom. There were may activities covered
Painting the solar system, Making aliens, Building rockets, Using the chromebooks, Writing and drawing space stories.
Our afternoon ended with story time with Miss McHaffie.
PE finding space and melting frost
One frosty morning P2 wrapped up warm and headed out in the frost.
We were working on finding spaces during games. The first task was to create our own space circles. Following that we completed some instruction games and simple instructions. Finally we played a throwing and catching game focusing on alertness.
Dress Rehearsal
Dress rehearsal was a great result. Here’s a sneak peak at our costumes. See you tomorrow.
Travelling Crib
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!
Book Week Scotland
This week Primary two have been encouraged to share books which they enjoy. We listened to the stories two pupils brought in and both got a big thumbs up.
On Friday we received our Read, Write, Count book bags and took these home. Today we read The Perfect Fit. We were thinking about how our class community comes together.
We then used shapes around our class to show how every shape can be useful to make the perfect thing.
Puzzles
This week we’ve continued to work on developing turn taking in pairs. After finding with our tally partners we got a jigsaw to complete.
Jigsaws promote concentration, problem solving skills, fine motor skills and awareness of context clues. When completing a puzzle with a partner, pupils develop communication skills, turn taking and whilst working towards a shared goal.
