Primary 2 have been learning all about energy. This week we have been making our very own windmills! Its been too wet to test them outside this week, but we are hoping to do it after the October week.

Kevin said ‘It was fun making them’.

Erin “We used glue to stick it down, and scissors to cut it out.”

Eva ” We used a straw to make the windmill pole.”

Jaymi “We got to colour our windmills in different colours”.

Lewis “We had to work hard to make our windmills, but we didn’t give up!”

Klea “I wish we could take them outside today.”

We are very excited to see if they work when we go outside on the next windy day!

 

 

Primary 2 made their own number line all the way up to 100!

Annmarie- “It was fun.”

Amy “We used glue to stick it all together.”

Michael “It was hard work to find all the numbers and put them in the correct order”.

We we were learning about how water can make a wheel move. This links to our topic about energy.

David “When you pour the water slowly the wheel moves slowly, when you pour the water fast it goes very, very, very, very, very fast.

 

We are learning about germs and how they spread!

Conor “we put cream on our hands then rubbed them with sparkles to see how the germs (sparkles) could spread.

William “it was so fun.”

Elli “We learned if we wash our hands with soap the germs go away.”

Klea “If you don’t wash your hands the germs wont go away”.

Oliver “If there is not soap you could use hand sanitizer”.

Primary 2 have been learning about tens and units, it can be quite tricky but we have made a great start!

Lewis “It’s fun learning about our tens and units.”

Michael “It is interesting splitting our numbers up”

Erin ” When we swap our numbers into different columns it makes different numbers”.

 

We have been working hard learning our phonemes.

Elli- “its fun learning new phonemes”.

David ” It’s funny making our ‘oy’ sound”.

Jaymi  ” I like to use our magnetic boards”

 

 

 

 

Primary 2 have been reading ‘The Magic Porridge Pot’. In the story the porridge overflows and floods the entire town!

We were interested in things that overflow, so we decided to try a science experiment! We used vinegar, bicarbonate soda, fairy liquid and food colouring to create a liquid which bubbled up and overflowed!

We discovered the more bicarbonate soda we added the more the liquid bubbled and expanded!

We wrote about what happened during the experiment and drew some pictures!
