Well done P2b on winning the big day out award.  P2b went to Palacerigg  Country Park for their reward and had a fantastic time. What a great way to finish off their year in Primary 2. The children were very brave and went on the treetop walk. They accepted the challenge of looking down whilst walking and baby stepping along. Some even walked backwards!  P2b got to feed and look at lots of different  animals, then got to feed themselves before playing in the park.

After lunch we put on our brave hats and went into the 112 metre long, under the water tunnel . We saw lots of scary fish including tinkerbell the shark. We also saw a funny ray that kept smiling and waving at us !

Primary 2b had a fantastic day at Deep Sea World and showed off their under the sea learning to the staff. We started the day off with our rockpool class, learning how to keep rockpools clean. We got to hold a starfish and sea urchin and saw a very shy sea anemone. Then we went and saw the seals being fed.

We are really excited just now in Primary 2. Tomorrow we are going to Deep Sea World.  To prepare for our visit we have been researching all about Deep Sea World and have been busy making persuasive posters for people to visit it. Have a look at our great work !

Remember the Under the Sea Stories we have been so excited about? Well we have now completed, redrafted and published our work. Our stories are now hanging in the classroom and look FANTASTIC! We are very proud of our hard work. Mr Young is very proud of us too and cant believe just how far we have come in writing this year. We hope to have our families in before the end of term to show off our stories and tell them all about under the sea.

We love sharing our achievements outside of school to the class. Well done to one of our classmates. He brought in a trophy which he won at a football festival at the weekend.  We are all proud of him.

We have been very busy learning about area. We know that area is how much space an object takes up. We can measure area with counters and cubes. We used counters to measure the area of our hands. Some of us even got to find the area of Mr Youngs hands! We learned how to measure area using cubes and sqaures also. We designed our own under the sea creatures and counted their area. Some of them had an area of over 100 squares !

Our math skills are becoming more impressive every day ! We are now learning to divide.  We have been learning about sharing equally between groups and using arrays to help us divide numbers. We are enjoying the challenges that division is bringing us. Have a look at us working hard in Maths.

We took part in a sponsored tennisathon to help raise money for our upcoming trip to Deep Sea World.  We had great fun and showed off our fantastic tennis skills. Watch out Andy Murray P2b are coming to Wimbledon !
