P2 and their families have had good fun making these super models of Police cars, fire engines and ambulances.   They look super.    I’m sure that you agree.

We had a great day of fun learning outdoors today.

We are learning about fractions.   We can shade half of a shape and a quarter of a shape.   We can also say the answer to half of a given number.

“1 whole is the same as two halves,” said Lily.

“1 whole cake can be cut into four quarters,” said Lauren.

“It is like division,” said Dylan.

“With a whole we can make four quarters,” said Daniel.

“We can make pictures when we cut circles in halves and quarters,” said Emilie.

“We can make a whole into thirds,” said Lewis.

Firefighter Carroll came to visit P2  and tell us all about his job.   We thoroughly enjoyed his visit.    He told us of the dangers of fire.

Nurse McQuade visited our class on Tuesday.   She told us all about her job.    She brought in aprons, masks and gloves for us to try on.   We also got to fill syringes with water and try them out.   This was fun.   We enjoyed Nurse McQuade’s visit very much.

“She let us try on some uniform,” said Lily.

“Nurse McQuade let us try syringes with water in them,” said Lewis.

“We tried on bandages,” said Emilie.

“We tried on doctor’s masks,” said Dylan.

“We put on hospital gloves,” said Eilidh.

“Nurse McQuade answered all our questions,” said Conor.

We have been writing stories about catching a robber.    We hope that you enjoy reading them

Primary 2 are busy counting money, playing money games and shopping for goodies in our class shop.

P2 had a very informative visit from PC Laura and PC Kenny on Thursday afternoon. They answered all of our questions and let us try on their uniform. We had great fun as you can see from the photos.

We have been practising the poem “Crocodile” by J.K. Annand.    We have learned some Scottish words.

“doukin” meaning splashing and “muckle” meaning enormous.

We hope you enjoy listening to the poem.

We are busy researching Scottish Castles.   Here is what we found out about castles.

“Castles have turrets and battlements,”  says Lewis.

“Castles have very thick walls,” says Emilie.

“The turrets have pointed roofs,” says Summer.

“Castles sit high up on a hill,” says Lauren.
