This week, Primary 2 conducted a science experiment to investigate how the temperature of water effects how long a glow stick lasts. We talked about how to make an experiment fair by only changing one variable and then made predictions. We found that hot water made the glow stick glow brighter and for longer and that ice water made the glow stick stop glowing the quickest. We wrote instructions to allow others to conduct our experiment.

Primary 2 rounded off their Knights and Castles topic by learning about the jobs in a castle. We dressed up as jesters, knights, cooks and queens to role play these jobs. In maths, after reading the story ‘The Greedy Triangle’ we explored a variety of 2d shapes by making these wonderful Shape Vampires.
Golden Book – October
Miss Robertson had the BEST time with this group of Primary 2 Golden Book-ers! They taught her all about what it was like to live in a castle. They shared their learning on how to protect castles, castle jobs, knights, armour and Mary Queen of Scots. They even made their own catapults and had a go at protecting their own castles. As well as IDL learning, they have also been learning about place value. They told Miss R about the tens and ones house, showed her how to write numbers and even shared how to order numbers. Well done, you are all STARS! Thank you for sharing your work with me!

This week we celebrated our first Star Writers of the year who wrote amazing information reports about the features of a castle. We learned about how people defended and attacked castles and made our own catapults. Once we made our catapults we tested and adapted them to see how far we could launch our pompoms. In maths we continued learning about numbers to 100, focussing on numbers before, after and in between.

Primary 2 have started our Knights and Castles topic and we learned all about the parts of a castle. We used paint and sponges to stamp bricks onto castles we drew. On Wednesday we spent the day with Mrs Hawthorn and learned about recycling, taking care of the environment and we designed golden tickets for the ‘Beats and Treats’ reward. Finally, in maths we have been ordering and sequencing numbers to 100.

Primary 2 have had a busy week. We have been revising Stage 1 phonemes using our magnetic boards and showing off our reading skills to Mrs Merrison.

Primary 2 have had a very busy first week of school. We have enjoyed playing with our friends and exploring our new classroom. On our first day we read the story of ‘First Day Jitters’ and enjoyed some jitter juice to help settle our nerves. We learned learned how to mix primary colours to make secondary colours in art and revised number bonds to 10 in numeracy. We enjoyed taking part in a team building game to rescue the “worm” and explored our feelings through the stories ‘The Colour Monster’ and ‘The Camel who had the Hump’.
