P2a

We have been learning about time. Our favourite

activity was using a stop clock to see how long it

took us to write our name and how many star jumps

we could do in one minute. We closed our eyes and

put up our hand when we thought 30 seconds had

passed. We loved making our jazzy jars with tissue paper

and ribbon.

Ahoy!
On Monday we got a special delivery from a pirate called Captain Bluebelly! It was a treasure chest and inside it there was an eye patch, a book, a compass and a letter! We were very excited. We are going to help the pirates to tell everyone in our school about the life of pirates. We are going to change our classroom into a pirate museum!! We hope we will have visitors to our museum.
Thank you for reading. Come back next week to find out more about our learning.

Hello!

We are all settled back into school after having a fantastic Christmas holiday! We hope you did too! We are very busy  learning about money and data handling in maths and we  are enjoying our new Scottish wildlife topic. We will keep updating our blog every Friday to share our learning.

Thank you for reading our post.

From primary two.

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.

What an amazing year we have had…and what better way to end than with all of our favourite memories. So here goes…

Max – My favourite part of the year was learning about Fairtrade products. Especially learning how to draw the logo!

Cate – I loved taught writing lessons…especially writing thank you letters!

Evan – I have really enjoyed mental maths this year. I like using all of the different strategies.

Aimee – I love taught writing also. The best past is learning all of the different writing strategies.

Charlie – I loved literacy week, especially when we did some drama and got to dress up as some of the characters from Winnie the Witch.

Lianne – I really enjoyed playing hockey in P.E, especially when we got to play team games!

Josh – My favourite time of the year was my first day of school. I found the guessing game Miss Cameron played very funny!

Kali – I really enjoyed making a friendship bracelet for someone in my class. I was able to show off my creative skills.

Greg – I liked meeting Freddie the Frog who helped us learn our times tables!

Carmen – I really enjoyed Red nose day because I loved wearing red clothes and my red nose!

Fraser – I really enjoyed learning small ball skills. Especially playing team games in hockey.

Taylor – I have really enjoyed small ball skills. I am getting really good at them!

Angus – I loved all the language tasks from my reading books this year!

Keavie – I really enjoyed health week, especially Parkour. Getting to go on the wall bars was great fun!

Matthew – I loved completing all the different read to write tasks in language!

Orla – I loved taking part in our class assembly. I really enjoyed performing the ‘Singing in the Rain’ dance to the rest of the school!

GOOD LUCK FOR NEXT YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!

P 2/3 have spent the last few weeks learning all about how to measure. We have measured length…

Area…

Volume…

And Weight…

Keavie – You can use scale to measure the weight of something. We used it to measure kilograms in our baking.

Lewis – I know when measuring volume that even though the basin looked wider the bucket held more water.

Lianne – When measuring length you can use metres and centimetres. I know that 100 cm is the same as 1 m.

Cate – When measuring area you must measure the whole surface. I know that cubes cover more surface area than counters.

Matthew – I know a baby is weighed in pounds.

Primary 2/3 have worked SO SO hard the past few weeks on our Fairtrade food topic. We have worked in our co-op groups and used the Apps Pages and Comic Life to create our own very own Fairtrade recipes.

We have been selling our recipe books every day this week to children in the school, and our Parents.

We have also been lucky enough to make a few of our Fairtrade recipes. We found it really fun, especially when we got to mix the banana bread with our hands (don’t worry…they were clean). We also found it very hard not to eat all the ingredients!!!! We made them as a HUGE thank you to the Primary 7’s for lending us the money to be able to carry out our project.

We would again like to give a HUGE thank you to  the Primary 7’s and Mrs White…we could not have done this without you!!!!!!

We have raised lots so far, and were not finished yet!! Tune into our blog next week to see our final total……………

P 2/3 went on an exciting school trip to a dairy farm in Airdrie. We got to learn lots about how a dairy farm works. It was very fun but also VERY smelly!!! Here are some pictures from our visit…

This is when we got to see a cow getting milked…we were very lucky to see this!!

Here are some of the new things we learned:

I learned that the cows have to be cleaned before they are milked. Carmen McGowan

I learned that boy cows do not get milked because they do not have udders. Josh Backhouse

I learned that the farmer uses a quad bike to round up the cows and sheep. Greg Trainer

I learned cow manure helps the grass grow. Aimee Deans

I learned only girl cows can be milked and the boy cows turn into beef. Taylor Kirkwood
