We have had two busy days. Yesterday we took part in a selection of technology activities. Building using different materials, including chickpeas and magnets. We even made and tested our own catapults. Today we made the most of the good weather and spent time in the outdoor classroom. Miss Baillie worked with us to make pizza too. Delicious!
We had a lovely afternoon at Glenapp. We saw bee hives, tadpoles, beautiful flowers and lots of butterflies.
We have lots of learning to share, here are some photographs of the highlights! Including-
Bubbles, dens, fishing, marble runs, symmetry, money, magnets, numbers, sounds, words, reading, glass painting, shadows, writing…phew!!
Today was Mars day and we celebrated by learning lots of interesting information about Mars. We have explored Mars as part of the wider Solar System, questioned the possibility of life on Mars, imagining what Marstians might look like. We also looked at how robots are used to help us understand more about the planet Mars and used Kinnex and junk to make models of space robots.
This afternoon the boys and girls worked together to make Ballantrae’s longest ever obstacle course! They worked in their house teams and took a side of the bike track each to make their fantastic obstacles! They demonstrated excellent team work, cooperation and delegation skills! 
As part of World Book day, all pupils took part in a Talk for Writing workshop with Mr Sisi where they learned all about the book ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. Pupils studied the language of the book before creating their own ‘story maps’ visually representing the major events within the book.
Today (3rd March) we celebrated World Book Day and how important books, authors and illustrators are in our lives. In Mrs Gregg’s class we drew pictures of our favourite book characters and wrote what we liked about them.

One of our challenges today was to build a new house for the three little pigs. Lots of problem solving, design and time management skills were required. The aim of the challenge was to make a house secure enough to avoid being blown down by the big bad wolf, otherwise known as Mrs Ball’s big bad hair dryer. There were some great creations, and lots of enjoyment had by the children.
We have been learning lots in class over the last few weeks. Here are some photos which share with you some of the exciting things we have been up to.
We have been having lots of fun learning in Primary 1/2. We hope you enjoy the pictures showing some of the work we have been doing in class.
