This week P2B did their big spelling test and did very well remember to use their phonics to help. They also started to tackle 2 digit plus two digit addition using place value to help them partition numbers and add their tens and ones. Great work!

Character Description 2B
For the last few weeks Primary 2B have been working very hard on developing their creative writing skills through character description. They have worked hard to use adjectives and connectives to create detailed descriptions of characters from Alice in Wonderland. Their descriptions of both the White Rabbit and Mad Hatter were excellent and they are all very proud of their work as is Mr Collins. Big well done Primary 2B.
Time
P2 pupils did amazing work this week learning about time. Boys and girls are now able to tell the time for o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to. This is amazing so well done. They have also worked very hard on their Alice and Wonderland character descriptions. Keep it up.
Poppies and Electricity P2b
This week P 2b got involved with some art and science. In art we created poppies to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. Using paper plates and green card everyone made their own poppy. In science we learned what an electric circuit is and we had a go at making our own simple circuits using wires, batteries and lightbulbs. We also learned how a switch works within a circuit by creating a continuous path for the electricity to flow.
P2B superheroes
This week P2B have been exploring energy and character description through our interdisciplinary learning theme of super heroes. The pupils designed their own hero and wrote a description of their character. They also experimented with moving paper with static electricity and later in class discovered how we generate electricity from green energy sources. Next week we will be making simple circuits to create light

Class Charter P2b
P2b had a fantastic first week back and have settled in well to our daily routines. As part of our learning this week we looked at the special rights children have and how we can use the creation of our class charter to ensure all pupils have access to their rights.

P7s Photosynthesis
On Friday P7s used the creative enquiry room to demonstrate their learning on photosynthesis. They create models of a flower using crafts that showed the different parts of a flower. They also created a diagram showing and explaining the photosynthesis cycle. Finally the pupils set up an experiment that aims to show the effects of sunlight on plant growth and will monitor the results over the coming weeks. Hopefully by the end we will have a nice crop of coriander!
Natural Disasters P7A and P7B
This week in the Creative Enquiry Room P7a and P7b took part in experiments that helped demonstrate the causes and impacts of different Natural Disasters. The focus of the experiments was Earthquakes, Tornados and Tsunamis. P7 were able to show the process of liquification that occurs during some Earthquakes. They were also able to describe what causes a Tornado to form and what causes Tsunamis and the impact they have on coastal areas around the world.
Money Money Money
This week P2b have started their learning journey for money. They have been learning how to recognise different coins and the value of each coin. In the playroom pupils have also been learning how to use money to purchase things in a shop. Well done boys and girls.
