Miss Meek and P2a invite you to share in their learning
Today we were in the gym and we put on the monster song. Miss Kinloch told us to make up a new dance for the verses. We were split into four groups with two girls and two boys and we came up with our own dance routines and Miss Kinloch said it was good. We are going to show some classes our dances. We are not finished but we are getting very good at it.
We all enjoyed Christmas jumper day.
Riley – We were writing an autobiography this week.
Brielle – It is something that you do your birthday, your age and your family.
Jennie = Autobiography is about us. To write a good autobiography we have to write about your family and then you need to do capital letters and full stops in the right place.
This week we have been learning about Lowry and his art work. This is what we have been doing.

Riley – We were smudging the pastels to look like sky and the ground.
Brielle – We have been putting blocks onto the piece of paper up the way and across the way.

In Maths, we are learning to take away. We are taking away bigger numbers than in Primary 1. We have been learning to put numbers in order of size. We have also been doing Pirate Pete’s Place Value. It’s about tens and units.
Leona – You have green bags and coins and you have to work out with your partner how many coins there are altogether.

This term we are working on our gymnastics skills. We are learning to balance, roll and jump. We will be learning how to put these together to form a sequence.
We have all settled into our new class and are enjoying being together in the one class this year. Miss Gilmour and Mrs Bokas both say we are working hard.
We were learning how to use Tux paint on the laptops. We were making weather pictures. Last week we did a practice so we knew we could do it and get better at it. Today we made some good pictures. We hope you like them.
