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.

We enjoyed watching the online pantomime, Cinderella on Friday afternoon. The ice lollies at the interval were pretty good too!

We have been learning about electricity and circuits. Here we are making and testing out a switch to insert into the circuit so we can switch the light bulb on and off.

We have been learning about the force of magnetism in our topic work. Here we are making and testing out our race track and fishing games which use the force of a magnet to make them work. You might notice this was taken on Children in Need Day when we were all dressed up in our pyjamas!

We used interesting adjectives and exciting verbs to describe fireworks for our shape poems.
We were learning about 2D shapes in maths and used these to make our colourful rocket pictures.

We have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes in maths. We did work on 2D shapes last week to link with Bonfire night when we made some super firework/rocket pictures using 2D shapes. This week we have been learning about 3D shapes and here we are making different 3D shapes using construction kits.
