Primary 2/3 start to term 3

1 Comment

Primary 2/3 have had a busy start to the term.

We have turned the house corner into an Indian restaurant and made a menu board to link in with our topic of India. We have been busy learning the colours in French. On Thursday we read our pen pal letters from Orkney school.

Miss Fraser and secondary 2 came to our classroom this morning to show us how to make circuits, buzz buzzers, use switches and light up bulbs.  We really enjoyed it.

Hector said “I liked the buzzing thing.”

Liena said “I liked when we made the red, green and blue lights.”

Bobby said “I liked the magic key one that made the fan turn fast.”

Reeta said “I liked lighting up Rudolf’s nose.”

A busy week for Primary 1

This week we have met Tiger Ten and learned our new phonics ‘m‘ and ‘r.’  We have been thinking about fireworks and how to keep safe on bonfire night.  We also spoke about how to keep safe on dark nights by wearing reflective clothes.  We went on a walk with Mrs Nicolson to look at 3D shapes in our environment.
