P2a

 

Today we were counting money in lots of different ways. On the smart board we went shopping! We had to pick the coins that matched up to the price of the item. It was tough!

We played a board game that had coins in purses. We had to choose a total and keep it hidden from our partner and then they had to find the matching purse. This really was a challenge.

We also put out coins in different ways to make the same value.

We’ve been busy!!

 

 

 

 

Today we went to the library in the Cultural Centre. We had a wonderful time. We listened to stories like, ‘Going on a Bear Hunt.’

We sat on a comfy chair to read stories of our choice too. It was fun learning.

We enjoyed listening to the author of the ‘Katie Morag’ stories Mairi  hedderwick today on author’s live. She told us how she came up with ideas for the stories and the illustrations. She’s so talented she does both!

 

On Wednesday Morning we…talked about our favourite stories that we brought to school.  Here we are with our favourite ones!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For our taught writing this week we…

had to write about our favourite story.  We had to write down the title and tell a little bit about it.  We also said what our favourite parts were and drew a picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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!

This week we started a new book on Monday. It is called Katie Morag and the New Pier.

In the book a new pier is being built for the Isle of Struay. Everyone was very excited apart from Grannie Island. During the story there is a big storm and the workmen cannot work. Then the huts get blown into the sea because of the wind. Katie Morag gives her special blue rope to Grannie Island and the Ferryman so they could get the huts back! At then end the new pier opened in spring, and the Ferryman’s wife made them all ‘fabbydoo’ chocolate cake!

 

On Tuesday we made invitations for the Grand Opening of the new pier! We had to remember to write about what time of year it was incase they missed and we had to tell them it was on the Isle of Stray.

On Wednesday we had to sort out the Beginning, Middle and End. We had three bits of paper and we had to put them in the correct order to match the book. We had to glue them into our jotter and leave three spaces for our pictures. As a finishers task we could design our own tartan or draw a picture of Katie Morag.

 

Check out our pictures and please leave a comment!

 

 

 

For one of out Homework tasks last week we had the option to learn two facts about Robert Burns. Here are some of the facts we have learned…

Erin and Callum M: Robert Burns was born on the 25th of January 1759.

Connor E and Nieve: Connor’s gran and grandpa live in Alloway, and his mum and dad got married there too! Sometimes you see his face on money.

Conor and Laya” Robert Burns was famous for writing poems.

Leona: I share my birthday with Robert Burns.

Lauryn and Joshua: He was famous, you can find his picture on our wall.

Riley and Emma: Robert Burns wears a tartan kilt.

Jennie and Olivia: Robert Burns wrote a poem called The Red, Red rose.

Brielle and Adam: Robert Burns is a famous Scottish man.

Atholl: We celebrate him on Burn’s day.

Connor E: You can go to visit his house. It is called Burn’s Cottage.

Adam: Robert Burns had 12 children.

 

In class today we sang the song ‘You cannae shove yer grannie aff a bus’ because it is a good song to sing for Robert Burns Day.

In the song we sing about not shoving your mammies grannie off a bus.

Then we sang you CAN shove your daddies grannie of a bus.

After that it was you can see your grannie after school.

Grannie was gonnae feed ye mince and tatties.

She was wearin an itchy wool vest.

Finally we sang the first verse again!

Primary Two really like singing this song because it is very funny!
