Good morning,
Room 13 moved onto instruction writing last week. We watched Mr Dalling make a jam sandwich and then put our instructions of how to make a jam sandwich in the correct order.
We also started division using arrays. Below is an example of the 2 times table.
Have a great week and we’ll hopefully see most of you at parents evening on Thursday.
Mr Dalling.

What a week we’ve had! Room 7 have begun their new topic, ‘Toys’. Thanks to everyone for bringing in their teddies, dolls, cars and everything in between.
The children created short scenes and used their toys to act them out.
On Thursday we arrived at school to discover the toys had been up to mischief during the night so we used their adventures to write some stories.
After an exciting morning we used the toys to create still life drawing using shapes, lines and shading.
Well done to our mystery readers from last week and this week!

As part of our Health and Wellbeing this week, Room 5 focused on two of our school values – Respect and Friendship.
We used a tube of toothpaste to demonstrate how our words impact others. We squeezed the toothpaste out of the tube, which represented the unkind words we sometimes say. We then realised that once the toothpaste was out of the tube, we could not put it back in again. This is similar to those unkind words. Once you say them, you cannot take them back.
We then listened to a story called ‘Kindness is My Superpower’. This book was all about a little boy who was not being a good friend. He realised this when he got home and decided to be a little kinder to those around him. The next day, he then waited his turn at the park, helped around the house and also let a pupil sit beside him on the bus to school.
We then decided that for our remaining weeks in Primary 2, we would each create a ‘Friendship Promise’ which we put in a little blue box in our classroom. Each child made a promise to show our school values of Respect and Friendship to others in our class and school. The promises will remain anonymous but we will try our best to fulfil them over the coming weeks.
We shared this learning today at assembly to spread our important message to others.

In drama we have been learning about improvisation which is when you need to create something on the spot. The key to improvisation is to always say yes!
We got given a stimulus (starting point) which was a bongo drum.
Here is the what me,Holly,Max W,Abby and Evalina did – Holly wanted another glass of water because the first water didn’t taste good so she wanted to go downstairs with us and when we were getting a water holly heard a banging noise (the banging came from the bongo drum) out the window and when I went to check it out a guy came busting in the door and saying give me all your money and then I switched characters and became a police officer and saved the day. It is fun doing improvisation because you never know where the story will lead to.

Hello everyone,
As part of our Dinosaurs topic, this week we have been role playing the job of a Palaeontologist.
“We were digging in the sand to look for dinosaur bones. They’re called fossils.” K
“We used paint brushes to sweep all the sand off them.” A
“We had to put the bones together to see what dinosaur they were from.” S
Yesterday, as part of our learning showcase, we made out own salt dough fossils. Have a look at some of our finished fossils below.
A big thank you to all of our adults for coming and participating in some of our learning yesterday, it was lovely to see you all!

Good afternoon everyone 🙂
We have all had a lovely day in Room 1.
Today we have been learning all about dinosaurs. We talked about how we know dinosaurs were real and learned all about fossils. We then had the opportunity to make our very own fossils. Please see below some pictures of our fun afternoon.
Thank you
Mrs Ventre and Room 1.

We’ve been very busy in Room 21 so here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been up to over the last two weeks!
We began our Natural Disasters topic by helping to plan out what we wanted to say, make, write and do for our learning. So far, we’ve learned about the earth’s layers, tectonic plates and how these can cause earthquakes and tsunamis. While we were learning about earthquakes, we had the challenge to create a structure made of cocktail sticks and marshmallows. This structure had withstand ‘violent’ shaking on a tray of jelly! This was a lot trickier than we thought but we soon realised that wider bases and creating foundations to sink into the jelly helped!
We’ve started ‘Morning Clubs’ from 9-9.30am too. This is where we get to choose which ‘zone’ to sit at each morning and take part in the activities based at that station. We were given free reign to plan out, organise and move desks and chairs into the following zones that we chose: Playdoh zone, Construction Zone, Arts & Crafts Zone, Games Zone and the ‘Anything Goes’ Zone. This table has had crocheting, knitting and Chromebooks at it so far! At these clubs we are always developing our meta-skills.
In maths, we’ve been looking at 2D and 3D shapes. Most recently, we’ve been learning how to use compasses to draw circles and how to calculate the circumference of circles.
For music, we’ve been singing along to Pharrell William’s song ‘Happy’ and learning to play parts on the glockenspiel to accompany it.
