We had the treat of having the digital leaders come to share their knowledge and expertise. As a team we made short stop motion videos.
It was great to see older pupils displaying patience and responsibility whilst leading the learning of Primary 2.
Maths Week Scotland was a busy week for Primary 2. Each day we’ve had a different challenge to complete and we’ve been thinking about money, shapes and direction.
As part of our homework we found out how our families use mathematics in the everyday.
We wrote stories using number sequence knowledge which prompted interesting conversations about our number knowledge.
The biggest event of the week was the Whole School challenge. Pupils had to work as a group of 4 to build a tower. We worked in random groups using our tally cards to choose groups. We sketched the designs first and then commenced the build.
During the challenge, we had to contribute our ideas and listen to our team, share materials and make compromises.
As part of our friendship topic, we’ve been working with different partners in the class. We’ve learned a clapping rhyme Apples on a Stick.
We have also been learning how to play noughts and crosses. As we play we practise being good winners and losers, turn taking and logical thinking.
This week we are learning about why we have day time and night time when the Earth rotates away from the sun.
This week we have been using the engineering process of ASK, IMAGINE, CREATE AND IMPROVE. Ask your child to tell you all about your engineering skills.
We have been revisiting good routines to keep our bodies clean and health.
We talked about the importance of keeping our hands clean and washing our hands before and after different activities.
Then we painted our hands, made our mark and then had to wash the paint off our hands.
The children did a great job at getting all the paint of their hands.
P2 discovering drawing is a physical and emotional activity. When we draw, we can move our whole body!
Outdoor PE was a great success. Pupils worked together to practise moving the ball and catching it.
