Florence Nightingale
We have been learning about Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. She was a very famous Victorian.
We read about her and then answered questions on her life.
We also made paper dolls of her.
To recap about Florence, visit this website and play the game about her.
Shrove Tuesday
Today we learned about Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day and how it is the day before Lent .
We then looked at the recipe and discussed how it is set out with ingredients, utensils and instructions. We looked at the different bossy verbs used.
We then used our knowledge of doubles to double the amount of our ingredients, so we would have enough for everyone. We then discussed hygiene and cooking. Finally we got down to making our pancakes!
We measured our ingredients, discussing grams and millilitres and when these are used. We discussed sieving flour and beating the batter to get air into the mixture. Then we used our new electric pan to cook our pancakes. We ate them plain or with a little jam. We discussed the importance of brushing our teeth later.
They actually tasted very good! Well done P2/3!
Queen Victoria
P2/3 have been researching in pairs all about Queen Victoria using this website Queen Victoria.
They then have been using their notes to write and type an account of her life.
Scottish Poetry Competition
Well done to everyone who learned their poem for our poetry competition. It was a very difficult decision to choose two winners from each class, as the competition was very strong. The four winners, however from our class were-
P2 Alexander and Eleanor
P3 Aiva and Holly
Well done!
At the final at the Burns Get Together, Holly won overall and won the Bobby Muir Cup!
Well done Holly!
Lifecycle of a Butterfly.
In Literacy we were learning to read for information and P3 have been learning to answer questions with sentences.
We learnt about flow diagrams and the Lifecycle of a Butterfly. P2 answered with one or two words, but P3 practised answering with full sentences and very well they did too!
Link through to this fun activity on the Lifecycle of a Butterfly.
