Look, listen, learn in primary 1/2!

In the Digital Learning suite this week everyone logged in to Glow. We were able to use two apps that our teacher had put onto our very own Launch Pads. First of all we explored the TigTag jar site. Here we were able to re visit the work we did in class on solids, liquids and atoms. It was very interesting. Then we visited the BBC Languages app and found the primary Spanish resources easily. Then we watched some Spanish videos and played some word games.

We all have our very own Glow login which we will be bringing home very soon so that we can use the apps at home too.

Also, this wee our primary 2 children had their stage assembly. It was wonderful to see everyone taking part in a beautiful, calm assembly where every child had a chance to speak, sing and show off their talents. It’s been a long time since our primary 1 assembly way back in September, but the primary 1 children recalled how they had felt on that day and were there to support their primary 2 classmates all along the way! A real team effort!

Well done everyone.

Our parents and carers were delighted to visit our class, see our work and our wall displays and talk to our teacher. What a great afternoon!

A busy time in P2!

Primary 2 have had a very busy few weeks! We had our class assembly on Friday which was great fun and allowed us to show off lots of our special talents. We hope all of our families enjoyed coming to see us because we really enjoyed performing for you! We have also been visited by Mr Young for the day and we liked having him in the class to see how hard we all work.

We have been learning lots of new things over the past few weeks. In gym we are playing tennis and we are getting better at using a racket to pass the ball to each other.

In R.E. we have been focusing on Lent as our theme and we have learned about the Stations of the Cross. We made some beautiful crosses using tissue paper which are now on display in our classroom.

Finally. we love our weekly Spanish lessons. Last week we learned our Spanish colours and we enjoyed playing the colours snap game with our partners. This week we will be learning how to say the days of the week in Spanish and we can’t wait!

Lots of learning in primary 1.

Our new sound this week is “wh”. If you say it with your hand at your face you’ll feel it blowing on your hand!

We have have been learning how to share in maths. Sharing means it is fair and everyone has the same amount.

Our new topic is all about our bodies. We worked in groups to draw round and label parts of the body.

Finally we each created a house to place in odd or even street. If you live in odd street you have a yellow front door and if you live in even street you have a green front door. Don’t we all look so smart?

Well done children, what a wonderful week!

What a week!

We’ve been working really hard this week to practise our Victorian assembly, we can’t wait to perform it! We have been gathering bits and pieces to put together our Victorian outfits and they’re looking great!

We began the week with the presentations we didn’t quite manage to see last week. We had a special treat with a taste test of Victorian food! We all got to try the kinds of treats both rich and poor Victorian children would have ate. We all loved the sponge cake and most of us liked the dumpling too!

We are beginning to to prepare for our Sacrament of First Holy Communion. We began to talk about the Eucharist and what our Communion is really about. We made a promise to God, which we will carry out during our preparation for the sacrament.

We have been finding out about a famous Victorian artist called Lowry. We spoke about his life and the kind of artist he was. We recreated one of his most famous paintings, ‘A portrait of Ann’ and we think they look just like the real thing!

Have a look at some of the masterpieces below.

The detail involved is excellent and it is obvious that children and parents have spent a long time making these.ring m

Inside the Cathedral-Pr7

Mr Young met us on our way into the Cathedral today. We were very pleased to walk through the doors of Mercy of the Cathedral and we were given a tour around the inside. What a beautiful building. Definitely got the thumbs up from our pr7 children.

St Andrew’s Cathedral in Glasgow- pr7

This afternoon we went along to St Andrews Cathedral in Glasgow. In the gardens of the church we were lucky enough to see a beautiful memorial in the peace gardens, dedicated to the Italian people who were killed during World War 2. We also saw the olive tree given to the Scottish from the Italians as a sign of peace.

More from the people’s palace

After a good look around the museum, the primary 7 children had a chance to look through boxes of artifacts. We had a chance to pack an evacuation suitcase, take care of an injured soldier, make do and mend one outfit to another and we even watched as one of our pupils was transformed into Land girl! We learned little war beauty tips like how tea bags were used to make a dye for ladies legs and how a burnt cork can be used for mascara!

It was a great day out and you could even hear our children singing war songs as they got into the right spirit in the Anderson shelter.
