Play Based Learning

Primary 2 are always finding new and creative ways to play – we had so much fun with the space themed activities in the open area 🌟

We also built a shop in the construction area, and worked on our money skills by finding the correct change for our customers in the bakery.

STEM Week – Bouncing Bubbles

Primary 2 had a ball making some very special bubbles today as part of our STEM week 🧪 We talked about different liquids and how they might react together, then made our own bubble mixture with some flyer one to test what happens when we add in a new ingredient to a traditional bubble mix. Our bubbles were much stronger and we were able to bounce them and have lots of fun – this was our favourite part so far!

STEM Week – Build a bridge 🌉

Primary 2 are a fantastic bunch of problem solving engineers 👷‍♀️👷 As part of our STEM week, we learned about the role of a civil engineer, and focused on the building of bridges. We learned all about what makes bridges so strong, and thought about how we might be able to make our own with some resources in the classroom. We worked in teams and used only paper, straws and lollipop sticks to build a paper bridge strong enough to hold a toy car.

We worked as a team and came up with some super solutions!

Play Based Learning – Monday 22nd March

We had lots of fun in the open area, and had lots of different experiences!

We imaged what type of cottage Poppy from ‘The Magic Porridge Pot’ might live in, and we built it in the construction area. We also put on a puppet show and tired to re-tell our story. We had to change some the characters to match the puppets, but we came up with a super new version! We also used some fruit to practise halves and quarters (and just have fun as a sensory tray 🥳).
