Yesterday we were outside in the playground trying to get Little Red Riding Hood to her Grannies house. We were making paths with the chalk with a partner to get to grannies. We made the paths squiggly, sharp, curvy, pointy, bumpy, diagonal, loopy, zig zag and colourful! Once we made our paths we had to check they got us to Grannies so we tried our own and our friends. Some of them were tricky and they made us a little bit dizzy! We thought it was exciting, hard, and very fun! We loved being out in the sunshine too!

Look at our fantastic pictures…

We have been learning all about Little Red Riding Hood. This week we made masks to help us pretend to be the characters. We could choose from the Woodsman, Little Red Riding Hodd , the Big Bad Wolf and the Granny.

First of all we had to paint our masks. We used colourful paint to make them exciting!

Yesterday we got to cut out our masks! The Primary 1’s showed us how safely they can carry scissors!

The last thing we had to do today was put a lollipop stick on our masks so we can hold them.

Check out our pictures of us in our masks we look AMAZING!!

P1 have been learning all about the number 1. We used the playdough to make 1. We used the i-pad to practice 0 and 1. We also have a workbook where we wrote and coloured lots of 1’s! We think we are very good at the number 1!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P2 have been practicing how we write our number 1 to 9! We got to use Miss Kinloch’s special pens to write our numbers! For Big Maths we were making our Learn Its using the string and the cubes. We know all the answers to our Learn Its are 10! We thought our learning was fantastic fun today!

Today was our goodbye party for Alex we have been busy using literacy, technology and science to get ready for it. We invited P1 to come along because they have been looking after Alex for us so that we could get ready.   It was good fun and we had some music, dancing and prizes.

Goodbye Alex hope you get home safe!

We completed our last science investigation.  We learned that wool helps us to create static electricity in a balloon.  We managed to pick up pieces of paper using the balloon.  We were trying to find out if the bigger balloon or the smaller balloon would pick up the most paper.  We found out that the biggest balloon picked up the most paper.  Thats means that the biggest balloon had the most static electricity.

We had some fun to end our day and used static electricity to make our hair stand up on end.

This morning Alex was waiting on us with a letter to say that he will be getting in his spaceship to head back to Planet Zog on Friday. We will be sad to see him go but we have had great fun with him.

We have decided to throw him a goodbye party. For technology today we worked together to make some party hats for the party. We thought about what kind of hats we should make and what Alex might like. We worked in pairs to make sure our hats would fit our heads. We found thus tricky but we got there. We drew, coloured, cut and stuck to make our hats look amazing.

We hope Alex likes our hats!

As part of health week we had an outdoor learning day today.  We went outside with our partner to find lots of things in our garden to use for writing our outdoor number poems.  Our poems were amazing!

We went round to play at the stalls that were organised by the outdoor learning commitee group.  There was shoot the hoop, face painting, arts and crafts, victorian toys, a bake sale, guess the chickens birthday, guess the sweety jar and beat the goalie.

The next thing we did was go out and do some gardening.  We had to pull out all the weeds.  We used and gloves and trowels to help us.  Mrs Ross and Mrs McCloone were very busy helping us too.

In the afternoon we learned about plants.  We learned about the differeent parts of a plant and we drew and laeblled them.  We also went outside and drew our pown plants with P1 and we labelled them.

The last thing we did yesterday was have a picnic.  We enjoyed our water and fruit on the grass in the sunshine.

Today is the start of Chryston Primary’s health week. At assembly the health and JRSO committee talked about what was going to be happening. They showed us a video about bullying. The whole class had to work together to make a huge poster of hand prints. We had to think carefully about using our hands and we know they are not for hitting. P2 had to make a poster for anti-bullying and P1 had to draw around and colour in their own hand.

We have enjoyed our first day of health week.

In maths at the moment we are learning all about grouping. We even know that there is a tricky word called multiplication. We know that when we multiply we make equal groups and then we put them all together to find the total.

We worked with hoola hoops and bean bags, the care bears, the dinosaurs, little people and cubes to make equal groups using the sorting rings.

P2 then moved on to work with number lines to make equal jumps to work out our totals. Our number lines went up to 100. We had some creatures to help us to do equal jumps. The frogs can jump up in 2s, the rabbits can jump up in 5s and the kangaroos can jump up in 10s. We don’t think multiplication is so hard after all.
