Today in Primary 2 we started work on Multiplication. We started by talking about what we already knew; how to skip count in 2’s. Then we sorted counters into 2 groups and created 2 times table sums! We are keen to try other active tasks for the 2 times table tomorrow!

P2 FAIRTRADE MUFFIN RECIPE
P2, P2/3 and P3 Germ Busters
We have been learning about keeping safe in the kitchen as part of our Health and Wellbeing lessons this term. We have learned about safe and hygienic food preparation, storage and cooking.
All three classes enjoyed a visit from Mrs MacIntyre who taught us about germs and the importance of keeping our hands clean. She used a special light that showed up the germs on our hands before and after washing them. She also brought her cuddly germ friend to tell us that not all germs are bad germs.
Thank you Mrs MacIntyre.
Decorated Eggs P2-P7
Primary 2 – Primary 7 should hand in decorated eggs to the school on Wednesday 23rd March. A chocolate easter egg for 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be presented.
P2 Time Tellers
The boys and girls in Primary 2 have been revising their knowledge of ‘o’clock’ and ‘half past.’ They used the SmartBoard to set the time of a big clock and used smaller clocks to test a friend on telling the time. Some children even tried a Time Bingo game!
P2 WORLD BOOK DAY!
P2 have kick started World Book Day with a Character Selfie!
P2 LITTER PICK BAR GRAPH
P2 are learning all about bar graphs. We made a bar graph showing all the types of rubbish that we found when we did a litter pick. We brought the litter back to class and sorted it into different kinds of litter. Then we counted it using tally marks. We put the information into a bar graph and answered some questions about our graph.
“There were 63 sweet wrappers and that was the most” – Andrew A
“Fruit was the least popular” – Chloe M
“Crisps were the second most” – Cameron F
“Bottles and cartons altogether were 16” – David Y
We also think that people should make sure they put their litter in the bin!
P2 SUPER SUNDIALS
P2 have been learning about light and shade as part of their Weather topic.
The boys and girls created fabulous sundials to enable them to tell the time using the sun’s position in the sky. Today, we marked where the shadow lay on our paper plates at 2 o’clock. We also had to use a compass to make sure which was was North.
P2 Super Silhouettes!
P2 are learning about “Light and Shadows” as part of their Weather topic. We made silhouette profiles of ourselves on the SmartBoard using our own shadows. We learned that an object that light cannot pass through is called “Opaque” and these objects will make a dark shadow.
Can you guess the children below from their shadow silhouetttes?
We practiced drawing profiles of our partner on a whiteboard. It was a challenge!
P2 Class Dojo Growth Mindset
P2 are enjoying a new Class Dojo video clip each week to help them to develop a “Growth Mindset.”
This week, the clip is called, “The Power of Yet” and the boys and girls discussed why the word ‘yet’ is so important. Instead of saying, “I can’t do it,” why not say, “I can’t do it, yet.”
Think of a time where you just didn’t get “it.” What could you do in that situation?
