P2 Ready Steady Cook!

The boys and girls in Primary 2 had a fabulous time in the learning kitchen creating their Ready Steady Cook competition entry.

Have a look at the children hard at work!

“Potato, Onion and Tomato Filo Parcels.”

Some children helped to prepare and cook the potatoes, onions, tomatoes and filo pastry while others created a fancy placemat to display the wonderful creation. Mrs Martin came along to judge our recipe and the boys and girls tasted it too!

P2 Rounding Fun!

P2 have been working hard this week to learn how to round numbers to the nearest 10. They used a magic strategy to help them:

-Look at the number and decide what TENS digits it is between. For example 63 is between 60 and 70.

-Look at the UNITS in the digit.

-If the units are 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 then ROUND UP.

-If the units are 1, 2, 3 or 4 then ROUND DOWN.DSC_2035This clever cookie had a go at a “Dartboard Rounding” game on the Smarboard.

We also played a rounding game on the I-pads to help us practise!

P2 and the age of Internet Safety

Primary 2 are finishing off their research topic about the years 2000-2015. We learned that the internet has changed alot over the past 15 years and we need to be clued up on our Internet Safety knowledge!

The boys and girls watched a great cartoon to explain Internet Safety on the smartboard, learned some top tips for surfing the web safely, and created their own advice videos on the i-pads for other children to watch and use.
