Stronger Together, Reaching High
This past 2 weeks we have been making the most of the nicer weather and have been getting up to all sorts of creative activities in our outdoor classroom! From music shows, to making car ramps, sensory play with sand, making imaginary cafe’s and learning about measuring with meter sticks. It has been such great fun and P2/3 have been building such great skills with their friends in P1/2.
Good morning,
Please have a look at the curriculum overview attached to see all the exciting things that P2/3 will be getting up to this term.
Mr Fraser
In Health and Wellbeing, we have been exploring friendships and how to manage disagreements between friends. We discussed different scenarios that may lead to conflict and examined strategies for finding compromises while maintaining positive relationships. We then created and performed our own puppet shows to demonstrate these concepts to the class!
Another snow day! I hope everyone is managing to both keep cosy and have fun in the snow. Here are some home learning activities for you to complete if you are able to.
Hope you all have fun and I look forward to seeing everyone back in school!
Please see the snow grid for optional home learning for Tuesday 6 January 2026.
This term, P2/3 have had a fantastic time exploring dissolving and the water cycle with Mrs Gear and Mr Fraser. The children began by investigating which materials dissolve in water, then moved on to exploring how heat can melt and solidify different substances. They absolutely loved becoming real scientists and learning through hands-on experiments.
P2/3 were also thrilled to welcome the UHI STEM team for a special visit. The class took on a series of exciting Kapla building challenges—from constructing the tallest tower to designing the strongest structure, and even creating the one that made the biggest crash when it toppled over! Their enthusiasm, creativity, and teamwork shone through every moment.
At the start of Term 1, our class spent time thinking about what makes us feel safe, happy, and respected at school. We had some fantastic discussions and shared lots of brilliant ideas about how we can help everyone in our class feel the same way!
Together, we identified some rights that were especially important to us and thought about what we could do each day to make sure those rights are respected. Using all of our ideas, we created our very own Class Charter!
Our charter is an agreement that reminds us of the positive actions and behaviours that help make our classroom a place where everyone feels valued, ready to learn, and proud to be part of our class community.
