Primary 2 have been working hard in gymnastics this term. They had the chance to work on their skills during a fun obstacle course. They did lots of jumping, rolling, balancing and posing. Jumping was our favourite.
The boys and girls are very good at setting up the gym hall. They always listen carefully to instructions to make sure they are safe in the gym hall.

last week was book week 2018. In Primary 2 we learned all about different parts of a book. We can identify the title, the aurthor and the illustrator. We also know that we can read the blurb on the back of a book to get a little idea about what the book is going to be about.
We looked at lots of different books and we found the title, author, illustrator, blurb, barcode and price of the book.
later in the week we had a visit from book bug who very kindly presented us with our read, write count bags for 2018. We had lots of fun.
We recieved our bags, filled with lots of nice things.
We sang some fun songs.
We played games.
We heard a wonderful story.
