The boys and girls in Primary 2 got their brains thinking today by taking part in a challenge called “Name the Storm.”
The children found out that each storm is named after a boy, then a girl’s name and so on. The storm today is called “Storm Henry” so P2 created their own storm names for the next few letters in the alphabet.
What do you think the next storm will be called? It will begin with the letter ‘I’ and it has to be a girl’s name this time!

The Junior Choir have been working hard to learn some Scottish songs to sing at the Burns Competition on Friday. Here is their version of an old song, “Glasgow Underground.”
In P2, we consolidated our learning about the Water Cycle by creating some lovely wind sock decorations to blow in the breeze. The wind socks have a diagram of the Water Cycle on it. We had to write on the vocabulary that we learned.
“I know Precipitation means rain” – Stephanie Gibb.
“I learned that some of the water goes underground and other water makes its way back to the sea” – Chloe McGiff.
P2 have been exploring the different stages of the Water Cycle. They learned that “Precipitation” is the fancy word for rain, and that “Evaporation” is when water turns from a liquid into a gas to become a cloud. We are looking forward to finding out more about this process this week!
We used the interactive smartboard to find out more about the Water Cycle.
We completed our own Water Cycle diagrams and tested ourselves on what each stage is called.
P2 have been learning to subtract 10 and 11 using a jumping strategy on a hundred square. The boys and girls have been concentrating really hard during maths time. Well done!
The boys and girls in P2 and P2/3 have been working hard to develop their skills for central net games. Some children practised underarm throws while others tried throwing and catching the ball or shuttlecock above their own heads. We also tried balancing a tennis ball on a racket while walking to improve our focus concentration skills.
P2 won class of the week this week! This week the focus was good manners. Our class managed to walk respectfully in the corridors, hold the doors for other people, say please and thank you, listen well to the teacher and say good morning and good afternoon. The class received 28 Respect and Collect tokens.
We played lots of games in our class during our extra playtime and we had lots of fun! We hope we win next week too!

The boys and girls worked very hard to create these amazing wintry landscapes. They used the medium of oil pastel to make the scene look realistic.
Merry Christmas from P2!
Primary 2 have been busy during maths time this week.
Some children used an interactive SmartBoard Sweet Shop game to add coins to make a total.
Others used play coins and a price list in the class shop. Some children practised their mental addition skills by completing a “Five minute Frenzy” grid while others played maths apps on the i-pads. You have been very focused on your learning, well done P2!
