We had great fun carrying out a “smell” experiment today. We used a blindfold to test how good our sense of smell was on its own!
“I can smell tomato sauce because i know it from my McDonalds” – Sean.
“I thought the vanilla smelled like caramel” – Stephanie.
“I love the smell of coffee” – Ben.
Primary 2 have been creating some “Optical Illusions” for their ‘Senses’ topic. Can you spot the 3D hand in these pictures?
The boys and girls have been working hard during literacy time to complete writing tasks linked to their reading books. Some children created a comic strip of their book, some wrote beginning, middle and ends and others answered questions about the text.
Keep up the great work P2!
Primary 2 have read The Story of ‘ew’ this week and helped to identify the phoneme ‘ew’ in the words. Why not try to write your own phoneme story at home using some ‘ew’ words!
Beautiful display of flowers by the Primary 2 and 3 art class. We were inspired by the painting ‘Sunflowers’ by Vincent Van Gogh. Excellent work boys and girls.
Primary 2 had a great time in the Sensory Garden, Community Garden and Playground this morning. They took notes on their clip boards of things they experienced through their five senses.
Why not think about what you can “sense” in your own home?
The children smelled the herbs in the sensory garden. The lavender was very strong!
Taking notes on the clip board to help with a writing lesson later.

Using the picnic benches in the sheltered area to finish our notes.
Here are some of the very proud Star Writers from the last few weeks! The children have written acrostic poems, sense poems and recount texts during taught writing time and are working hard on excellent presentation. Well done everyone!
The boys and girls in Primary 2 enjoyed taking part in Purposeful Play this afternoon to explore their topic of senses.
The children used a range of materials to create artwork of their own iris.
They used the I-pads and Smartboard to investigate the sense organs. Why not try out a website called, “Sid the Science Kid.”
They used play-dough at the malleable area to create models of their own sense organs!
Well done Primary 2!
Over the past few days, the boys and girls have been learning a bit about Remembrance Day.
“I know the fighting happened in Flanders Field” – David Young
“I learned that we wear a poppy because they grew in the place where a war was” – Stephanie Gibb
“There were bombs and it was Germany we were fighting in the first war” – Andrew Armour
They created a fantastic display to showcase all their hard work.
Primary 2 also created fantastic acrostic poems using the word “REMEMBER” as a stimulus.
The children made personal message poppies to thank the soldiers and servicemen who gave up their lives for their country.
Primary 2 are enjoying learning some French greetings. The boys and girls can ask and answer, “What is your name?” and, “How old are you?” in French. Practise asking and answering these questions with someone at home! We display the new vocabulary on our French window.
Sing along to a French song about greetings by searching, “French greetings song for children” on YouTube.
