P2a

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!

This week we finished off some of our Farm themed art work. We created a collage barn using different types of paper. For the back ground we used bright coloured paint to create a colourful farm for the barn. We think they look great!

On Wesnesday we all went on the Giant Walk around Chryston with the whole school. Here we are with our certificates!

Anti-Bullying Day

On Monday it was Anti-Bullying Day! At assembly we learned how bad bullying is and that we have to tell an adult if we see bullying. In class we made posters to help stop bullying. On the posters we remembered to put pictures and some information about bullying.

Outdoor Day

On Tuesday it was Outdoor Day. There were stalls in the senior playground set up by P6, Miss Wallace and Miss O’Neil. We thought the stall were AMAZING!! We want to say a big thank you!!

After that we got to do some GARDENING!! We had to fill up some big bags with soil because we were planting potatoes. Some of us used the Watering Can’s to pour water into the bags. In class we learned what seeds need to grow. We now know that seeds need SOIL, WATER, LIGHT, AIR and WARMTH!

In the afternoon P2 went outside with pencils and paper to draw as many living things as they could! We found LOADS!!! We already know lots about Living Things because it is our Science topic! When we came back into class we wrote a poem about the Insects in our Playground they are OUTSTANDING!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for reading our post, we will share more later in the week!

Today we released our Butterflies. We were a little bit sad to let them go because we like looking after them in the class. Pretty much the whole school came out to watch the butterflies fly away. We are sorry that Mrs Woodward and some of the bigger boys and girls didn’t get to see it BUT we took some pictures for them so see what happened. Thank you to all the classes for coming to watch it! Primary Two have really loved looking after the caterpillars and watching them change into butterflies and hope the butterflies have a good life and that the life cycle keeps going!

Please leave comments!

On Monday 1st June Priamary Two visited Briarland Farm. Here are some pictures of our fantastic day at the farm!

As promised here is Primary Two taking excellent care of their beautiful butterflies!!

They fed them nectar water and oranges, the butterflies seemed very happy!

Yesterday was a very, very exciting day in P2! (But not for Miss Kinloch because she wasn’t here, thank goodness Mrs McIntyre was here!!) Two of our beautiful butterflies came out of their Chrysalis! Everyone in P2 was very happy and excited!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When we came in today there was even more excitement because there was more butterflies in the net. During the day we know that up to 12 of our 33 caterpillars have turned into beautiful butterflies.

This afternoon we went into the playground on a very special mission. We were collecting things to make our butterflies feel at home. We found twigs, leaves and flowers!!

Over the next week we are going to be taking care of the butterflies by feeding them special food! Miss Kinloch is going to take pictures of us feeding them and we will share this on the blog!

Thank you for reading and please leave a comment!

This is the homework for June which will go out to the class on Friday 29th May. If your child loses their sheet can they please let Miss Kinloch know as soon as possible.
