Panto – Scunner Who Stole Christmas

The Scunner Who Stole Christmas

 

Gaiety Theatre Characters, Dame Hylda and Jock the Joker visited the school on 16th  December and engaged the children in a short performance which was video and send to the Gaiety.  We will be one of the five schools who appear in the finale episode of the panto performance of the Scunner who Stole Christmas.

The Kingdom of Ayrshire and Arran has been cursed by Dourina the Soorfaced Sorceress – she’s stolen the Pantomime Recipe Book and cancelled Christmas. Only joy, togetherness and adventure can conquer Dourina’s evil plan and save the day – but with Princess Neat and Prince Tidy keeping their distance; how can Christmas ever be saved? Can Fairy Handwash remember the magic recipe and find the ingredients she needs in our community to save the Kingdom? Can Dame Hylda Rerrterr, behave on Tour? And will Jock the Joker ever crack a one-liner we approve of?

The children have watched episodes 1-3 in school so please use the link below to watch the final 2 episodes at home on Wednesday and Thursday.

Busy Bees with Miss Lee

The term as flown by and we have been very busy on a Wednesday with Miss Lee!

Numeracy

We have been focusing on measure this term in P2. We have measuring the length and height of objects using a ruler in centimetres and as well as metre sticks to measure in metres. P2 can now convert metres in to centimetres…WOW!

We have had fun finding  active ways to learn how to measure, take a look at what we have been up to in our pictures below.

We have been focusing on our number bonds through daily tens with Miss Lee. We have used concrete materials such as cubes to support our learning and we have now moved on to our blueprint boards which we love using in class!

HWB

On a Tuesday afternoon, we focus on our HWB. This term we are learning about the importance of kindness, coinciding with Anti Bulling Week. We have participated in a series of lessons to support this, including my favourite; the crumpled heart.

The message I want the pupils to take from this term is-

‘IN A WORLD WHERE YOU CAN BE ANYTHING, BE KIND!’ I know in my heart that my P2s are fabulous friends to one another!

Outdoor Learning

The rain didn’t stop P2 having lots of fun on our outdoor learning session with Ryan from Active Schools at the end of November! The boys and girls looked after Miss Lee as she is not a fan of the rain!

 

CHRISTMAAAAS IS COMING!!!

It’s that time of year again at Gardenrose! This year it is very different as we would be rehearsing for our spectacular Nativity, however due to COVID it will just have to wait until next year. Miss Lee does love her Nativity, but don’t worry I still have my sassy angels and rogue sheep to entertain me in class! We have been busy making very special Christmas cards for you to enjoy and we are learning ‘Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer’ in Makaton throughout the festive period.

P2 would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

Play based learning 26.11.20

We focused on numeracy during our open area time. We used ten frames to practise our number bonds to 20, and we consolidated our addition and subtraction by playing a game where we rolled 2 dice and used the numbers we rolled to form by either addition or subtraction one of the numbers on our game board. We also used some Pom poms to practise with concrete materials to really make sure we know our number bonds – we were all maths magicians today and worked so hard! ⭐️

Outdoor learning 24.11.20

The PM group and Miss Morrison had a super afternoon of outdoor learning at Culzean! We learned all about volcanoes and made our own with fizzy juice bottled and mints and we buried them in the sand to make them look like real volcanoes before we let them erupt. We also had a scavenger hunt on the beach to find different items and we played a game of tug of war to finish off our day.

Literacy 20.11.20

We used the Nelson spelling programme on the interactive white board to practice our capital letter formation x we had to trace the letter with correct formation without touching the sides of lines! We had lots of fun practising this way and it helped us to form our letters before our next writing lesson ✏️✏️
