We visited Cairnfold Farm as part of our topic. We learned lots about how to look after animals, what they eat and what food we get from them. We loved seeing the animals and even got to touch and feed them. It was a great morning. Thank you Mrs Duncan!
Room 2 have been tasting a variety of different foods as part of healthy school week. The children tasted a selection of cheeses, wholemeal breads, salad leaves and fruit. The children who were very daring even tried the sardines and loved them! Well done to everyone for taking part and trying new things!
We enjoyed playing badminton today as part of Healthy School Week. We learned how to hold the raquet and hit the shuttlecock. We even tried to pass it over the net. Some children managed to complete 4 consecutive passes! Well done room 2!
We took part in a tooth brushing experiment! We used disclosure tablets to show the plaque on our teeth. Then we brushed our teeth focusing on the parts that had plaque on them. We were given a ‘GREEN for GREAT’ award from Cathy our school dental nurse!
We have been using Numicon materials to help us with our calculations. The Numicon helps us to see what the numbers look like. Primary 1 have been creating addition and subtraction calculations and Primary 2 and 3 have been using the Numicon materials to create multiplication calculations. We found our number work fun today!
Today the children from the nursery that will be starting school in August came over for a visit to Room 2. Everyone had fun working with their peers using the iPads. Roll on August!!!!!!
We have been outside finishing off our Tri Golf. We have learned to do lots of new things! We all know how to hold the club and stand correctly. We are confident when chipping and putting the ball and some of us even managed to get it in the hole!
Thank you to the Parent Council for organising the Easter boat race. The children had fun designing and making their boats before watching them race down the burn. Well done to all of the winners!
Room 2 have started a new topic entitled ‘Toys’. We have been looking at toys from the past and from the present. We all brought in our favourite toys from home and took part in a ‘show and tell’ activity. More pictures to follow!
We would like to say thank you to Mrs Johnston for showing us around Anderson Church today. We had lots of fun looking round for the things we have been learning about in class. We spotted the font, the pulpit, the altar, the pews and some stained glass windows. Can you see any of these in our photographs?
