A reminder that tomorrow is our Christmas Lunch and Christmas Jumper day. We will also be taking  part in the Reindeer Dash which will help raise money for CHAS. The children do not need to bring any money as the school will give a donation on their behalf. The children can come to school wearing their Christmas jumper if they like.

Well done to this week’s star pupil and Sumdog Champion.

We used our mirrors to check we were making our butterfly pictures symmetrical. We also printed Christmas wrapping paper in a symmetrical design.

We learned about symmetry today. We know both sides of a picture, shape or object must be an exact match or a mirror image of one another. We drew symmetrical pictures and marked on the line of symmetry.

We learned all about how Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah by lighting their menorah each night to remember the miracle of when the menorah burned for 8 days when there was only enough oil for one day.

We also wrote a letter to Santa telling him all about how good we have been and asking him if he could try and bring us some presents.

Well done to our proud winners for being Primary 2’s Star Pupils.

Today we worked on partitioning whole numbers by splitting them into 2 parts. In the afternoon we celebrated St Andrews Day by enjoying Irn  Bru and shortbread and watching a short film on the life of St Andrew. We also finished our own  book about St Andrew.

Today we wrote about the story of ‘Feeding the 5000’. We had to remember to include capitals and full stops. We also made a book about the story of St. Andrew.

Monday is also St Andrews Day. The children can wear something tartan if they have it and we will be learning more about this celebration.

Well done to this week’s  Sumdog Topdog champion too.

We loved reading our new reading books today. We also learned about the story of the Feeding of the 5000.

We thought you would like to see some drawings we created! After reading the book ‘Look Up’ we took part in a step-by-step tutorial with the illustrator of the book. He showed us how to draw the cat Luna. We all followed the same instructions. We’d love to know what you think!

Here is a snapshot of us enjoying an afternoon in Primary 2!

What a lovely ending to the week – well apart from the weather!

We finished yesterday with a lovely Yoga session where we went on a Bear Hunt. We had to do yoga poses for going through swishy grass, oopy gloopy mud and opening and closing doors.

Today we finished the day working around some stations. It was fun to have some time to paint, use the Ipads and some of the technology resources.

Have a brilliant weekend everyone, Mrs T x
