We have been using lots of empty cardboard boxes to build towers, walls and bridges.  We are discovering what makes a strong structure and the importance of size and shape.  Here is a wall built by some pupils in P2B.  How strong do you think it is?

p.s. If you have any boxes lying around we’d love a few more large ones (bigger than a cereal box).  Thank you.

P2B have been learning the names of the colours in French.  We decided to make our art lesson about colour mixing into a French colour mixing activity.

We made colour sums and mixed paint to make new colours then wrote the French colour names when it was dry.

Do you know the answers to these colour sums?

rouge plus jaune égal ____

bleu plus rouge égal ____

noir plus blanc égal ____

“We went to the Primary 7’s playground.  We drew what we could see.” Amber

“We were drawing Kingsland from up high.  We got a clipboard and some paper.  We went to the P7s balcony and looked down at the school and nursery.  We drew the slide and things you can jump off.  It was fun.”  Willow

“”I liked drawing a map about the playground from above.”  Ellie

“I learned to draw things from above.  To see the school from above we couldn’t go from a hot air balloon so we had to go from a platform.” Phoebe

Health Week continues with another busy day.  All of P2 had a Yoga Session in the Hall this morning and then we had a fantastic afternoon of activities.

Which sessions did you take part in?

Zumba, Cheerleading, Ballet, , Drama, Mindfulness Yoga, Chill Out, Sticky Kids or What makes me unique?

We got off to a flying start with our Health Week this morning.  Miss Nicholson organised a really fun assembly for us where we thought a lot about what makes us special and unique.  The choir sang us a lovely song called ‘This is Me’.

Some of the teachers helped out with a story about a mouse, a lion, a gazelle and a monkey.  Can you tell the grown ups at home what happened in the story?
