People’s Palace

Primary 2 visited the People’s Palace as part of their topic When Gran was a Girl. We took part in a timeline activity and explored how people lived in the past by visiting the laundry, shop, holiday  and single end displays in the museum. It was very interesting and we saw and handled lots of artefacts from the past.

We thought the People’s Palace was a lovely building and enjoyed exploring Glasgow Green after we had a picnic lunch. We saw a rower  and some ducks and geese on the River Clyde, met some police horses and then finally had a chance to play on the climbing frames and chutes. We had a great day! Thanks you to the parent and grandparent helpers who came along!

When Gran was a Girl Class Talks

We asked our grans and grandpas about life when they were boys and girls. We also interviewed Mrs Higgins about her life when she was a girl at school and at home. We then shared what we found out with the rest of our class during a talk we had prepared.

 

 

Everyone got the class to look closely at the objects and pictures we had brought in more closely during a walkabout talkabout  activity.

Abi’s grandpa even made a film watch it using this link

 

Gymnastics

Primary 2 took part in a block of gymnastics lessons. We were supported by Woodfarm High School sports coaches. We used a variety of equipment to practice our skills in balancing, rolling and climbing and we were all very proud of the progress we made.

Tesco Football Coaching

Primary 2 have been having football coaching sponsored by Tesco. Our coach, Tommy, says our behaviour and progress is very good. We are all trying very hard to listen to his instructions carefully.

These short video clips show some of our skills in action:

We are also very lucky to have some sports coaches from Woodfarm High school working with us every week in P.E.

Corey, Akash, Ross and Steven have been leading warm-up and football skills activities with us.
