Author: Miss Kinloch

Yesterday afternoon we had Mrs Cornwell in our class because Miss Kinloch was at a meeting in another building. Mrs Cornwell did some drama with us in class and then we started our new health and wellbeing topic all about naming parts of our body. Mrs Cornwell had a big picture of Miss Kinloch’s face and we had to name the parts of her face. Mrs Cornwell used a pen wrote ALL over Miss Kinloch’s face! It was all a bit silly and very funny! We learned that the black part in the middle of our eyes is called a pupil!

On Friday P2 went outside to find things that are Living and Non-Living because that is our Science Topic.

We know that Living Things do 3 things…

Eat, Grow and Breathe!

We know that Non-Living things do not…

Breathe, Eat or Grow!

 

 

 

 

When we found Living and Non-Living things in the Playground we took pictures of them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Wednesday we sorted our pictures. We sorted them into Living and Non Living. We know that some Non-Living things used to be Living like the bee house used to be a tree!

Thank you for reading all about             our science topic! Please leave us a comment!

Today we did something a little bit different for reading! Because it was a bit of a mixed up week we did not get new reading books but instead we read our book to a partner from another reading group so we got to read different books!

We practiced these skills…

Reading, working together, listening, taking turns and work attack strategies!

Grufallos were sharing their books ‘Help us, Harry!’ and ‘The Magic Boots’

Elmers were sharing their books ‘Growing’ and ‘Hungry Hedgehog’

Cat in the Hats 1 were sharing their book ‘A troop of little dinosaurs’

And Cat in the Hats 2 were sharing their book ‘Nelson gets a fright’

We liked…

working with a partner – Jack

taking turns – Mya

getting to know another book – Nieve

reading to a partner – Conor M

learning new words in a new book – Katie

 

Please look at our pictures of us reading! We love reading your comments,

From Primary Two and Miss Kinloch

 

 

 

Today Primary Two wrote a poem. (But they did not know it was a poem!) We all had a look at a picture. There was a farm in the picture. First we had to do our date but not our title! We had to pick 5 nouns to start with and they went in the middle. Then we got into groups to describe the 5 things we picked. We finished the sentence by writing what the noun was doing in the picture.

This is P2’s farm poem…

 

We hope you like it, please leave us a comment!

 

 

This week Primary Two have been learning all about division.

They worked through 4 different stations to experience sharing in groups.

One of the stations had us using play dough. We had cards that had pictures of what we had to make and share on the card.

At another station we had the sorting bears and the sorting trays. We had a partner and they would ask us to split the bears into groups. The partners were to try and make it hard to solve.

We were also using using the SMART board to play a game about sorting sweeties. We had to count how many there was to start and then we took turns sharing them into different numbers of bags.

At the last station we had some cards which showed pictures and other cards that said ‘Half is’. We had to match the correct two cards together. We got very good at this so we had a race to test our partners!

Check us out hard at work…

Today we went to visit the Co-op. To get there we had to walk through the village of Chryston. Before we got to the Co-op we saw the park, cars, plants and bins.

 

In the Co-op we saw Dairy products. Adam saw Milk. Erin saw butter. Jack saw cheese. Nieve saw cream. We know all about dairy products because we have been learning the Story of Milk with Mrs Bokas.

We saw all different types of food at the Co-op some of them were; sweets, crisps, ice-cream, dog food, cereal, ice-lollies, chicken and biscuits.

 

We got to look all around the shop but we knew not to touch the things we saw. Amy saw the cashier taking the money at the till. Adam saw shop assistants and they were doing work. Jack saw the shop keeper and their job is to look after the whole shop. Nieve saw the workers stocking the shelfs. Jennie saw some customers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Primary Two want to say a massive thank you to the Co-op for letting us visit. We all had a great time and found it very interesting for their topic of Shopping!

We hope you like our pictures and please leave a comment!

 

 

 

Today Primary Two were very lucky to have some furry visitors from Briarland Farm.

 

We met Ginger the Guinea Pig, Alfie the Rabbit, the Hen and the Chick.

 

They were all very cute and we got to clap them and look at them up close.

 

Our favourite parts were:

When I got to clap them – Emma

When the animals came in – Amy

When I got to see the rabbit – Adam

When the animals came out of their case – Callum I

When I clapped the baby chick – Nieve

When I got to clap Alfie – Laya

When she pulled the chick out of her pocket – Lauryn

 

 

We had to remember to wash our hands after we’d finished!

 

We can’t wait to go visit Briarland Farm in June!

 

Check out the pictures of us and our Furry Friends!!

For Red Nose Day we got to design our very own Red Noses on paper plates that we painted red earlier this week. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We used glitter, feathers and goggly eyes to make them really funny!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a treat for winning the Oscar and Mystery Pupil the girls got to make Miss Kinloch’s face funny! The class said Miss Kinloch looked really silly!

We were very lucky and got to visit the Red Nose Day bake sale! There was lots of fabulous cakes that had been brought in by parents. The cakes were so yummy!!!

Here are our finished Red Noses. Don’t they look fantastic!!!

Happy Red Nose Day Everyone!!!!

On Wednesday afternoon we…were doing a partner read to share a story with each other.  We love stories in P2.  Katie Morag is one of our favourites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday afternoon we got to try online shopping. We used the laptops with partners or in trios. We were doing this as part of our topic called Shops and Shopping. We wanted to find out more about shopping online.

We had to use Google to find the website. We went on to the Tesco Website and looked at Groceries. Then we clicked on the red button which said Half price offers.

We learned how to…

buy things online

press the add to basket button

find different types of food

find our favourite food

 

Please have a look at our pictures of us looking at Tesco Online shop.

We would love to read your comments!
