As part of our PLAY book tasks this week, we made some fantastic Spring creations now that the change of season is nearly upon us! Miss Taylor was so impressed at the effort the boys and girls had put into their tasks; there were some fantastically creative ways of showing some of the changes that happen at Spring time. Have a look at some of our work!
On Friday, boys and girls in Borders house brought in lots of fascinating things to tell us about for their Show and Tell. We had photographs of our pets, fairy doors and favourite teddies. Well done to our Borders pupils for speaking so confidently!
Yesterday, P3/2 celebrated Chinese New Year and the Year of the Monkey! We learned about the customs and traditions Chinese people have at New Year and why they are important. We learned that Chinese people believe red is a very lucky colour, and that sometimes children are given money in a special red envelope to celebrate new year. We looked back to see which year we were born in – most of us were born in the Year of the Rat and the Year of the Ox! We also found out that Beijing is the capital city, and that they have special parades with a Chinese dragon. Have a look at some we made ourselves! Gung Hay Fat Choy!
This afternoon, boys and girls from our Highland house brought in some fascinating objects for their Show and Tell! We had talks about our pet dogs, Star Wars characters, Chinese money, fairy doors and photographs that are special to us. All the boys and girls had clearly put in a lot of effort to prepare their talk, and the rest of the class were a great audience and asked some good questions. Well done Highland!
P2 have been very busy today learning to add and subtract numbers to 12. We investigated different ways of making 12 using cubes. We had to be very careful to remember that adding will make the number bigger, and subtracting will make the number smaller. We did a great job, take a look at our photos!
