Here we are again, another unexpected snow day.  I hope you were all able to enjoy some time outdoors in the lovely sunny weather yesterday afternoon.

Here are some activities you can try today.

Maths-multiplication

Practice multiplying with snowballs!

Make lots of snowballs and set them out in equal groups e.g. 4 groups of 2   4X2=        5 groups of 3  5X3=     etc.  Then have a snowball fight!

If you can’t get outside do the same with objects inside. (But don’t throw them!)

Write out your favourite times table and practice it.

Write out your least favourite and practice it.

P2 Maths Group

Snowy number stories:  18 snowflakes fell on Monday, 10 on Tuesday and 7 on Wednesday. How many fell altogether?  Now make up your own snow number story and draw a picture to go with it.

Literacy

Read your reading book if you have it at home or any book of your own at home.

Make a snowman (or snow Viking ) Draw a picture and write a story about him/her  (or just write some words to describe him/her)

Your spelling words for this week are live on Sumdog now also.

Try to find the Up Helly Aa song online (if you don’t know the words) and practice singing for Friday!

Here we are preparing for SMUHA. We have been painting torches, designing shields, making helmets and colouring the lovely Galley pictures that Willum brought in to share with the class. Thank you Willum!

We all enjoyed a lovely relaxing peaceful morning sharing books with p6/7.

P2/3/4 had a great morning on Monday when we watched the Bodyworks roadshow followed by taking part in the workshop and trying all the activities.  It was a fun, interactive way of learning about our bodies.  Everyone listened well and were keen to volunteer to help with the demonstrations.

Our class recently enjoyed a trip to the schools art exhibition in the museum.  There was such a lot of fantastic work to see!  Thank you to all those who came along to help.

We have been working on some Christmas crafts and hope you liked the childrens’ handprint wreath cards.  The wreaths will be coming home soon.

We have been practicing hard for our carol concert and hope we are still able to perform to parents and families, but this will depend on weather conditions.

Hopefully we will be back in school by Friday  when we will have our class treat to look forward to as well as having a few extra days to open on our class Advent calendar display!

Then it will be the final countdown to the Christmas holidays with our Christmas party on Monday afternoon.

I hope you are all keeping safe and warm in this cold weather and we wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Today, Tuesday 4th October we enjoyed our class peg prize. We chose to watch a film in our PJ’s with our favourite teddies! Here we are all ready to begin!

We enjoyed a very successful trip to Lerwick to visit the Energy Recovery Plant and Recycling Centre where we learned about what happens to the materials we throw away or put in our recycling bins.

Can’t believe we are nearly at the end of our first term in p2/3/4.  Here are some activities we have been doing over the last few weeks.

We went for a walk around the school grounds to look for things made from different materials.  Then we grouped them into natural or artificial materials.

Next we sorted some different materials according to their properties.

We made some roofs from different materials and tested them to see  which materials had the best properties for making a roof.
