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.

 

 

 

P2 LITTER PICK BAR GRAPH

Screen Shot 2016-02-25 at 13.13.03P2 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 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?
