Hello everybody!

We are so sorry that it has been so long since we have written a blog post on here. We have been super busy!

School Trip
We went to the Museum of Rural Life for our school trip and had an amazing time. It was great fun getting to learn about farms.

Sophie: My favourite bit was when we got to see the little piglets. They were so cute!

Brodie: My favourite bit was all of it.

Ava: My favourite bit was when we got to see the kitchen. It was a farm house kitchen.

Class Assembly
The day after our trip, we had our class assembly. We were so excited to tell the adults all about our chicks. We sang a song and performed fantastically.

Roxana: At the end we got to do activities and got the chance to hold the chicks. It was fun.

Liam: My favourite part was when my mum got to hold the chick!

Evie: My favourite part was when I was holding the chick.

Health Week
Last week, it was Health Week in Chryston Primary School and we got to participate in lots of health activities. We had the chance to ride our bikes and scooters around the playground, go for a walk and make a healthy snack in class.

Mia: My favourite part was when we were riding the bikes and scooters.

Sienna: My favourite part was when we went to the park.

Ewan: My favourite part was when I got to cut the fruit to make our snack.

Aila: My favourite part was when we got to make the healthy snack.

Holly: My favourite part was when we went on our walk.

Jared: My favourite part was when we were eating the healthy snacks.

Jay: My favourite part was when we got the eat the health snack.

Sports Day
Finally, last week we also had Sports Day. We all got the chance to participate in different races and cheer on our classmates. We all had a great time and tried our very best. Miss Anderson was so impressed with how hard all the boys and girls in class tried and the great sportsmanship they showed.

James: I liked it when we done the running race.

Ryan: I loved when I jumped over the hurdles.

Conor: I loved when I threw the beanbag in the shotput.

We have had a fantastic few weeks in Primary 2 and I hope you all enjoy looking at our photos.

This week is Science week and we have been doing lots of science in our class this week. We have been learning about floating and sinking and about writing up our hypothesis.

Ava: We put an orange in water and it floated.

Lots of the boys and girls wrote in their hypothesis that they thought it would sink.

Liam: When we peeled the orange it sank. It’s because the skin had the air trapped.

Aila: Next we put the egg in the water and it sank.

Sophie: We put the egg in the water again and add lots and lots and lots of salt and then the egg floated.

Alfie: My favourite experiment was when the orange floated.

Neve: My favourite experiment was when the orange sunk.

Ewan: My favourite thing was when we put lots of salt to make the egg float.

Roxana: My favourite experiment was when the egg floated with all the salt in it.

Brodie: Mine was all of it!

We have had a great time being scientists in Primary 2 this week! Let us know about any experiments you have tried!

After all the chaos of the snow, we finally got to celebrate World Book Day! It was great to see all the children dressed up in a costume or dressed down in their pyjamas. I think we all loved how comfy we have been in our pjs all day, I know I have!

We have been talking about the books we like to read at home and at school today. During our literacy time, we wrote a review of our books and wrote about what we liked and didn’t like about them.

We also did a World Book Day quiz. The children worked in teams and all did so well answering questions about popular books!

I hope all the children had as good a day as I did!

In Primary 2 we have just started our new topic, Life in the 60s. We have been learning about fashion and technology in the 60s. We have been using the iPads to research this and it has been great.

Fashion in the 60s
Brodie: There was lots of tie-dye.
Aila: There was lots of long dresses.
Ava: There was loads of polka dots.
Arran: There was loads of high boots.
Kacey: I thought it was great.
Liam: I think it was awesome.
Evie: It was fandabbydozy.

We designed some 60s clothes for our dolls. They look fantastic.

Technology in the 60s
Orlagh: The TVs were black and white.
Alfie: The computers were very different.
Conor: They had no playstations or x-boxes.
Annie: They can only phone people on the phone, you couldn’t play games on the phone.

We’ve been having a great time learning all about the 60s. What do you think we should learn about next?

Hello everyone!

What a week we have had. With the school shutting early on Friday because of the snow, I never had the chance to hand out the homework sheet. I have attached the homework here and will give out a paper copy on Monday. I’m sorry if this causes anyone any inconveniences, do not worry about completing it all if you do not have the time.

Hope you all have a fun and safe weekend in the snow!

In Primary 2, we’ve been busy making our Christmas Art for the hall and our Jazzy Jars.

For the hall artwork, we made beautiful Christmas street scenes. First we had to paint the background blue for the sky and then we stuck on different sized rectangles for the houses. Everybody in Primary 2 did a fantastic job and they look fantastic.

We were also decorating our Jazzy Jars this week. We decorated them with pom poms, stickers and lots and lots of glitter. They all look brilliant and I bet whoever wins them in the raffle will be very happy. Thank you again to all the parents who donated jars!

Christmas has officially started in Primary 2!

We have had a great week but I think Friday was Primary 2’s favourite day.
Roxana: It was Pudsey day and we went into the hall and got to decorate cakes and do pictures. And I got a picture with Gracie.
We have been doing lots around the school to raise money for Children in Need. All of the boys and girls in Primary 2 wore their own clothes and donated money. Lots of them even wore Pudsey clothes!
Ewan: We met Zoolab on Friday as well.
Liam: There were lots of animals – snakes, snails and lizards.
Sophie: At Zoolab we saw a tarantula.
Annie: I liked the spider the best.
Primary 2 were so excited to see all the different animals and learn about them. Primary 2 weren’t scared of any of the animals, though Miss Anderson was a little scared of the spider!
We had two birthdays in the class as well so we sang happy birthday!
Also Primary 2 were writing on the tables! We were practicing our chimney sums on the tables but luckily we used whiteboard pens so we could clean it off!
Sienna: I was scared that it would stain the table!
Donald: In maths when we wrote on the table I wrote my numbers very big!
Liam: I used yellow on the table and it turned green because our tables are blue and the colours mixed.
We had a fantastic Friday! Enjoy your long weekend everybody and see you on Tuesday!
Please leave a comment about what you did on Pudsey Day!

Primary 2 have had a great week this week! There has been lots on in the school and we have been very busy in our class.

In numeracy, we have been working on addition using number squares and number lines and practicing these skills.

Roxana: And then we tried to do it without these where we could only use our heads.

Everyone did great at this and we are going to keep on working on addition by using different methods next week. We also did another Big Maths Beat That and everybody did great.

In literacy, we have been working on our reading and learning a new sounds and new common words.

Annie: Our new sounds was ‘ow’

Elliot: Know has our ‘ow’ sound in it.

Ava: Yellow has our ‘ow’ sound in it and its one of our common words.

We have been using our common words and sound in our dictation sentences this week. We read our sentence to our partner and they have to try write it on their whiteboard and get all the spelling correct.

We were also visited by a Paralympian athlete this week Jonathan Paterson. The children completed a series of circuits with Jonathan and then attended an assembly where Jonathan talking about his career. It was a fantastic event and all the children had a great time.

Here are some photos of P2 working hard in and out of class this week.
