Dress rehearsal was a great result. Here’s a sneak peak at our costumes. See you tomorrow.
Robot Day was a little treat from the Digital Leaders.
we had coding, spheres and lots more…
Foundry Trip
During Book Week Scotland we went to Foundry to select books for our Borrow Basket. We selected Christmas tales, funny stories, fact books, novels and so much more. Some books we can read on our own whilst other books we will listen to others read for us.
We had a great time.
Paired Listening
Today we worked with our tally partners to colour our little bears.
We had to give and follow instructions from each other.
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!
World Diabetes Day
Monday the 14th November marked World Diabetes day. According to Diabetes UK someone is diagnosed with diabetes every two minutes. As part of our health and wellbeing curriculum in Primary 2, we learn about how to look after our bodies. We were fortunate to have an expert visitor share her knowledge in the subject. During her talk, we learned about the pancreas, blood sugar levels and signs of hypos to look out for in our friends with diabetes.
We are extremely grateful to our expert for giving her own time to share her knowledge and develop our understanding of a common condition.
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.
Make your Mark
Make your Mark
This year marks the start of our Make you Mark achievement passport. Through out the year Primary 2 will participate in a range of exciting experiences whilst developing skills along the way.
Primary 2 have started working towards their first achievement which is tie 3 types of knots. This maybe tying their own tie, shoe laces and using knots at forest school.
Digital Literacy Week
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.
