The boys and girls in P2 finished the plans for their class Bug Hotel and some even made a model of it using lego while others made felt butterflies to decorate the Bug Hotel!
Attention parents of children in Primary 2! You will shortly be receiving a beautifully handwritten message from your child to advise you on how to use your various bins correctly. The children have been finding out about the benefits of recycling and the importance of doing it properly. Here they are hard at work on their notes to you!
As part of their garden topic, Primary 2 have began researching and planning the creation of a “Minibeast Sanctuary” in the school Sensory Garden. They know that encouraging insects and other small animals to the garden is good for the environment.
So far, the children have used the Internet to investigate different Bug Hotel designs and read about the sorts of materials that could be used for encouraging a range of wildlife. They have also drawn diagrams of how they would like the minibeast hide to look.
The boys and girls will scavenge for natural resources to make cosy crevices for the wildlife, although we would also appreciate donations of any of the resources listed below to help in the creation of the Bug Hotel.
Small plant pots, bamboo canes, clean bottles, some old building materials e.g bricks and drainage pipes. If you have any of these lying around your garden and would like to help us out, they would be much appreciated! 
Today Primary 2 were in the Sensory Garden carrying out some of their garden chores. While we were weeding and tidying, we came across some fantastic mini beasts! Have a look at what we found. Can you name any of them?
Primary 2 have been discussing “The Learning Dip.” This is a point in your learning when you get stuck and think something is too hard. However, the boys and girls of P2 have learned about strategies to get back out of the Learning Dip.
Ben L – “To get out of the dip, you have to try and try again.”
Freya – “To get better, you need to reflect on your work to see how to improve it.”
Below is a link to the Class Dojo discussion videos so you can discuss them more at home!

Primary 2 have been working hard to learn how to use grid references and co-ordinates! We played co-ordinate board games, ipads games and completed co-ordinate write and wipe challenge cards.
Primary 2 worked hard today to learn some times table facts and recall them quickly. Some children played a timed SmartBoard game while others tried a times table board game. Some boys and girls even tried to complete a colour by number multiplication picture of a cowgirl! We also used playdough to help us create”groups of” items and this helped us visualise how to multiply.
A big well done to all of P2, P2/3 and P3 who all worked very hard to create their own hand puppets. As part of Technology lessons they learned to plan and design their products, then to follow their design to create their finished product. The pictures show a great selection of the Easter themed puppets from P2 and also the rainforest themed puppets from P2/3 and P3. Great work boys and girls.
Primary 2 and 3 art class had lots of fun this week experimenting with blowing, spraying and dripping paint to create a Jackson Pollock inspired piece of artwork. We are looking forward to seeing the end product!
Primary 2 and 2/3 have started learning skills to use during athletics activities. We have tried hurdles, long jump, shotput, relay races and sprinting. We are looking forward to improving our skills!
