Today we went outside into the snowy weather.  We had a brilliant time.  We were learning how to make a snowman and Mrs Bokas gave us rules to follow.  No throwing snowballs or snow angels!   We are pleased to report that everyone followed these rules.  The snow was soft, cold, squishy and smooth.  When we started to roll the snow it lifted really well into a big ball.  Some people even found twigs to put in the arms.  It was a gorgeous winter day!

Katie – Some of us made a snow dog!

Olivia – We found some spaces to roll the snow!

Callum I – Some people were making igloos!

Joshua – It was cold but our hat and gloves kept us warm and cosy!

Conor M- We had a class picture together beside the winter tree!

Jenny – We all had a race through the deep snow at the top of the hill!

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.

 

Today we were playing a game about Position and Movement called Pet Hospital. We had to put the animals in the correct cage by following the clues.

Then we were doing a task called up, down, left and right. For a challenge we could make up our own clue for a partner. Some people found it a little bit tricky. We really liked working with a partner, and we got to peer assess our partners work and colour their traffic light!

Some of the language we have been using…

Leona – Up

Connor E – right

Emma – left

Adam- inside

Cameron – underneath

Erin – above

Callum I – behind

Joshua – under

Olivia – over

Callum M – next to

Today Mrs Woodward had the wonderful idea that we could use our gym time outside today! Some us felt excited, shocked, happy and surprised!!

We did not get changed into our shorts because it was far too cold and wet! But instead we had to change our shoes and get wrapped up in our jackets, scarves, hats, gloves and we even our hoods up too!

When we were outside we felt warm in our jackets but it was cold in the playground. We could see people making snowmen, lots of snow, snowball, and lots of boys and girls playing and having fun!

When we came back inside it was nice and warm. We had to put all our wet gloves, scarves and hats on the radiator to make them dry again. To help get ourselves all warm and cosy again we put on the Monster Song that we have been practicing in gym and we danced to the chorus, but when it got to the verses we got to pretend to be Rockstars!!!

Thank you for reading our blog and please leave comments!

We have been learning about Katie Morag because she lives in an Island Home which is our topic for January!

Katie Morag lives on the Isle of Struay which is an island. We live on the mainland in a part of Scotland called North Lanarkshire.

We are going to learn all about what life is like on the island from Katie Morag and we are going to tell her all about our lives on the mainland. In RME with Mrs Bokas we are also learning about how Katie Morag welcomed her baby sister!

We are learning all about the Scottish Islands because it is Scottish Month. At the end of the month we will be celebrating Robert Burns. We are looking forward to the Scottish Event held by the big boys and girls in the school, we will see you there!

If anyone needs a replacement sheet please let Miss Kinloch know as soon as possible, thank you

Our nativity is called the Sleepy Shepherd.

We have learned seven different songs. We have learned our parts.

We think it is going to be brilliant!

We hope that Mums, Dads, Grans, Granpas and EVERYBODY really enjoys it!

We are very excited for you all to see it!

Today we all voted for our favourite book from the past 3 weeks!

We could choose from…

Robot Rumpus

Princess Penelope

and Lost for Words!

We had fun getting to vote and we had to keep it a secret!

Our last book was Robot Rumpus! This week one of our tasks in class was to create our own Robot that was better than the one in the book! We also had to write about and draw our favourite part of the book! It was so much fun!

Our Homework task was to make a Robot out of junk! Our Robots are very cool one of the Roast Turkeys, one of them gives out sweets, one of them is very big, one can hold things it in his head and one even has its own laser!!!

Primary Two have had loads of fun doing the Scottish Book Awards and we hope the Primary Ones have lots of fun reading them at home!
