P2b March 2015

In PE we have been learning Basketball skills.  We have been practising bouncing the ball and throwing the ball.  We have been listening to instructions and following the rules of how to take part in a game of basketball.

 

In French we have been learning how to say the days of the week and the months of the year.  We improve our learning through hot seating and matching games on the computer.   We have also learnt about how the French celebrate Easter, their traditions include chocolate bells and chocolate fish.

 

In ICT we have learned how to make comic stripes using 2Publish and 2Animate.  We also used this software to design our vending machines, linked to our Financial Education work.  We have used the games on Education City to help us practise using money.  We have used the Beebot software to give directions and to control the movements of the Beebot.

 

During RME we have been talking about religious buildings linked to different religions.  We have been watching the Easter story and recording the key facts of the story in our jotters.

 

We made red noses out of clay and then decorated them with paint.  We also made funny faces by making bowties and moustaches.  We had a lot of fun on Comic Relief day.

Primary 2b’s Topic

Primary 2 have been loving their Transport topic which is being led by Miss Hood. They have been learning all about different types of transport and transport in the past, including who first invented some types of transport. They have even invented some of their own future methods of transport such as hover cars and time machines!
The Pirate section of this project and has also been lots of fun with writing a pirate story and making maps.
In drama they have been playing lots of games and even been pretending to be pirates.

In RME they have been learning about Religious Buildings and have learnt different facts about several different religions. They have made posters to show their understanding of the information they have researched.

In ICT they have been learning all about how to use animation to create story books and can now create their own pictures to tell a story.

My Country Study

This was linked to our Climate Zones project. We each worked with a partner to investigate a country. We used the internet to gather lots of information about our country, including which continent it was part of and what type of climate it has.

We also found out about the native animals, famous people and the types of food that they eat in the country.

Australia was researched by Chloe and Amy and they found out about all the interesting animals that live in Australia, such as crocodiles, koala bears, snakes and kangaroos.

Iain and Finn looked at Russia and discovered that it was part of two continents – Asia and Europe.

We enjoyed presenting our information to the rest of the class and listening to facts about other countries.
