We are now at the end of our 4th week of Home Learning and I would like to take this opportunity again to let you know how incredibly proud we all are to be part of the St David’s community.
It has been wonderful to hear from so many of you on the phone, via text, by email and on the Facebook page. We hope to speak to even more of you next week. Please remember we are always here if you need anything at all.
We want to make sure that we are getting Home Learning right for everyone and have created a brief survey to gather your opinions. It should only take a couple of minutes to complete and as always, your feedback is invaluable to determining our next steps.
You can access the survey by clicking on this link: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=oyzTzM4Wj0KVQTctawUZKT3Ew0Z-Q85Bv5om4Pf6v_NUMTRCTVJKWUpXR1IxVVJVSEFJOENOMkRUMi4u

P2 have been learning about the changes that happen in winter. Ellie told us it is darker, Sophie explained that is because our planet is further away from the Sun.
Aiden reminded us that birds and animals need food in the winter but Evan said some animals hibernate. Jan explained that some animals dig under the ground to make a cosy bed. Lucia remembered that winter was a good time for robins. Jessica spotted a crows nest in one of the bare trees and explained that it was empty in winter.
We noticed that our Green Flag has been ripped in the wind and the rain. But Hope and Calum are looking forward to the snow coming. Lilly noticed how all the leaves were off the trees now and Lacey thought the cold was good and bad for plants. Millie said winter is freezing and cold and our red hands show that but we still had fun playing outside.
P2 have been enjoying creating some delights in our new mud kitchen this month.
“I liked making stuff. We made soup with some salt, leaves and grass.” Jessica
” We were making macaroni. Jessica made the cheese sauce, I made the pasta. Campbell boiled the pasta and I stirred it. We feeded Mrs Fletcher.” Ellie
“We made mud pasta, we put mud in and mixed it. I liked you got muddy” Lucia
“I liked when we were cooking mud pie. We used grapes and rubbish and grass and we put a starfish on it” Millie
“There are so much resources to use. I like the scoop to scoop up the mud to make cheesy pasta.” Campbell

Primary 2 have been making autumn art in class and at home. We have also been working with partners and as a team to use our artistic skills outdoors as well.
It was fun to see all the different things we could make as everyone had different ideas; love hearts, trees, what would you make?
We began by looking for anything unsafe and marked it to keep us safe.
We have been looking at lots of different ways we use numbers and maths in our lives and jobs.
P2 said that we need to measure when we build things and when we cook. They also said that telling the time was important. We all need to be able to count our money.
We even looked at how we need shape in design and learned more about Kandinsky and Klee-famous artists who used shape in their paintings. We even used our Spanish to colour match our shapes.
We used tally marks to vote then filled in our graph. Which character was your favourite.
Sometimes we work best as a team.
