Today in in class the children used chalk and pastels to create these wonderful winter tree pictures. The children enjoyed blending the chalk and charcoal with their fingers. Super effort.
P1a have had lots of opportunities to learn to add through play. Today I was delighted to see that the children were able to apply their skills to copy and complete some addition question on their own!
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!
On Friday p1b wrote a recount of our visit to Cumbernauld Theatre. In order to become a successful learner p1 had to include a ‘when’, ‘who’ and ‘what’ in their recount and of course remember puntuation, finger spaces and spelling. Take a look at this week’s Star Writers. Well done everyone!
