Today is World Down Syndrome Awareness Day. The date was cleverly chosen to be on the 21st of the 3rd month. This is to represent the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which leads to Down syndrome.

Here are P2 children wearing their odd socks today, to raise awareness and celebrate inclusion!

We built an obstacle course in P.E. then completed a graph to show how many  cones, balls and blue sticks were on our course!

In Maths we have been learning about graphs. We built our own graph to show our favourite animals. We can discuss which animal is the favourite and which animal is the least favourite. We are learning to total different groups and find the difference between the different groups of animals.

Primary 2 had such an amazing day on our bus trip around Glasgow. We saw lots of famous sights including the River Clyde which we have been learning about this term. We saw some famous ships that were built on the Clyde as well as some well known Clydeside buildings that sit there today.

We  loved being on the open-top bus and we have learned more about our city.

We have had a great week of fun and learning this week.
