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!
Class Trip
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.
Term 1 activities
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.

P2/3/4 (Orcas) Curricular Overview-Block 1
Panto Season!
We enjoyed watching the online pantomime, Cinderella on Friday afternoon. The ice lollies at the interval were pretty good too!
Electricity
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.
Magnetism!
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!
Firework poems and Rocket pictures
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.
Shape Maths
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.
Happy Halloween!
Here we are again on Friday all dressed up in our super Halloween costumes. Today we have been making pumpkins and witches/bats/zombies from our painted paper plates!
