P2 have enjoyed using the laptops to type up their news for the Fair Isle Times. They love using the clicker programme which reads back their sentences and also helps with spelling. P2 are also working hard on money this week, by practising counting up coins to make amounts up to 20p.

 

The children enjoyed creating a road and shops in the playground using chalk. They have worked together as a team with everyone involved in the game during break times.

 

 

On Wednesday the children spent time in the school garden with Pat. They pulled up some tatties and onions. We have so many onions that we decided to deliver some to Triona and Stewart and enjoyed the walk down and back, as the sun had come out!

 

 

The children love their Art sessions with Fiona! Last week they did a fantastic job creating light and dark comparison scapes. Following on from that, in class we learned about day and night and why daylight changes between winter and summer. We had fun using a globe and a torch to explore this concept, with each child picking a different part of the world to ‘live’ then we rotated the globe. Next, we moved the globe to the other side and discussed the difference. We also learned about nocturnal and diurnal animals.

This week in art, the children had so much fun ice-painting. They mixed colours on blocks of ice and using salt to increase the rate of melting in places. They enjoyed swirling and mixing their chosen colours.
