January was a month of celebrations in Primary 2a. We celebrated Chinese New Year, this year it is the year of the Rooster. We learned about how New Year is celebrated in China and discovered more about some of the traditions. We created our own lanterns, they were red because it is seen to be a lucky colour.
We also celebrated Burns Day by reading some of his work and for lunch some of us tried haggis, neeps and tatties. We were inspired by Rabbie and wrote our own poems, which we shared with each other and gave feedback.
We have been using the laptops to find information using the internet in the class. We worked in small groups, took turns and in one session found out lots more about giant pandas. In Science, we have been exploring and investigating forces.
