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.
