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.

Today we learned about what lives under the sea. Mr Young taught us about mammals, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans and fish. We sorted these creatures into their correct species.  After that we used our excellent Maths skills to figure out where they lived using a Venn Diagram on the smartboard.

We began our new RME topic “Caring and Sharing in Islam ” today. We started with a circle time talking about what makes a good friend and what makes a bad friend. We all gave ideas and respected the ideas of others. We then made posters of our own friends and wrote adjectives around them to show what makes them a good friend to us. Have a look at us working hard on these posters.

Today we learned about living and non living things. We learned what makes something living and began to classify a variety of things that live and dont live in the sea.

In Maths we are learning about halves and quarters. We are enjoying all the active learning we are doing. Especially when we get to use cake to help us learn our fractions. We can tell you what a half is and that it is one equal part of a whole shape.  Have a look at us making shapes which are, and arent halves.

Primary 2b dived into their new topic “Under the Sea” today. We all wrote onto a post it note what we already knew. After that we stuck our Under the Sea facts onto the board and shared our knowledge. Mr Young said our facts were fantastic and we are Under the Sea Scientists in the making !  Here are some of the things we already know.
