Today we were learning how to use a two pan balance. We are able to identify what happens to the balance when heavy and light objects are put into it. We later worked out how much things in the classroom weighed by balancing the balance out using cubes. Have a look at uis at work.

Today we handed in our personal projects about our favourite sea creatures. They all look fantastic. Mr Young said he was very proud of us and all our hard work. We enjoyed making our projects and were excited to show them off to the rest of our class and Primary 2a. Primary 2a also came to show us their projects. Have a look at our excellent work and see if you can guess our favourite sea creatures.

Today we were learning all about fish. Mr Young told us a little about them, then we got the ipads out and started partner research. Some of us even got to show our work to Mrs Hunter! That was very exciting. We learned lots of amazing and interesting facts! Did you know that fish have lived on earth before the dinosaurs did ? Neither did we , have a look at us carrying out our research.

We have been very busy in maths learning about fractions of numbers. This is very tricky but we are quickly becoming experts at it. Have a look at us learning to quarter amounts.

Primary 2b have brought some very dangerous sea creatures into our classroom ! So bring your protective scuba gear if you visit our classroom. They used paper plates, paint, and crepe paper to create JELLYFISH in art. They are now floating about our classroom and corridor and look fantastic !  Now we just need to make sure they dont sting us when we are learning !

This afternoon we continued our under the sea topic. We worked in our co-operative groups to create posters on a given mammal.  We worked as a team to take notes, cut them out and stick them onto our posters. Have a look at our finished work.

Last week we wrote the first chapter of our Under The Sea stories.  Today was time to redraft them in preparation for our secret novel that you will see in a few weeks time.

We worked very hard today on our multiplication. We revised our 2,5 and 10 times tables. Mr Young let us play buzz, skip counting on gonoodle, and we had a boys vs girls race with Multiplication Wipeout on the Smartboard. We also did some independent work in our jotters to show what we have learned. Have a look at us working hard in Maths.

We were very lucky today to be invited to the P7 carnival. There were lots of fun things to do and delicious prizes to win.  We had a great time playing beat the goalie, higher or lower, lift the malteaser and our favourite was soak the Primary 7 ! Mr Young even joined in too !  Thank you very much to Mrs McFarlane, Miss Cliff and Primary 7 for inviting us.
