Primary Two – Our favourite bits..

We were discussing all the fun times in primary two. The pupils had so many times to talk  about, we ran out of space on the white board and had to use some mini- whiteboards to add all our ideas on to.

Some of the highlights of the year were:

  • Outdoor learning – we have done lots but the favourites were the stoney beach and the burn
  • Baking – pancakes and gingerbread men
  • Fruit testing
  • Parties
  • Play
  • Map making
  • Swimming
  • Museum visit
  • Bookbug visits
  • Going to the library
  • Story time
  • Having parents in to do maths games
  • Making circuits
  • Gym time

We made acrostic poems on our favourite experiences.

Outdoor Learning – Data Handling

We did maths outside yesterday. We have been learning about tally marks so we went outside to record the variety of coloured cars we could see. To record it clearly and accurately we used tally marks. We have been learning that it is important to use a finger space between each group of 5. We know we can read it clearly if it is neat and has a space. We saw lots of white cars! And hardly any pink, purple or brown cars.

Meta skills we covered were focusing, communicating, curiosity and collaborating.

Plants

We had a visit from Cheryl and Naomi from Morgan Sindall to speak to us about plants. The pupils loved the videos of the exploding seeds. We saw tiny seeds and a picture of a coconut as that is the biggest seed.

They have left us resources so we can do our own planting in the next few weeks. Thank you!

Health and Wellbeing Week

We had outdoor plans for Thursday afternoon but it was REALLY wet so we decided to have an afternoon of games. What a lovely idea for a rainy day.

Health and Wellbeing Week Story Time

We read this lovely story today. It is called Amazing Me Amazing You by Christine McGuinness.  We spoke about how we are all unique and we have some similarities and some differences but we all like that we are our own people.

Fruit Tasting as part of Health and Wellbeing Week

We loved getting fruit for snack! Lots of pupils were trying blackberries, cherries, kiwi, melon and plums for the first time. I was so impressed with how keen they all were to try new fruits.

Thank you to Grays and Tesco for the yummy fruits!

Health Week in PE

We had great fun in PE today, taking part in an obstacle course to develop agility, stamina, coordination, balance and many more skills athletes need for all sports.

Under the Sea DrawIngs


P2A have been using visual information to help them compose drawings of under the sea. They will use wax crayons to colour some details and paint washes for the sea and sand.

Health and Wellbeing Week – Orienteering

We had a great time orienteering in the wildlife area today. We had to look for 8 fruits and could only do one fruit at a time. We all had fun! The winners were Conan and Tymon finding all the fruit fastest!

This kind of task certainly covered a few of the meta-skills we are thinking about at Sound School. We were focusing, adapting, using our initiative, communicating, collaborating, leading, sense-making and critical thinking.

Frog in the Meadow – steady beat

We’ve been learning a song called ‘Frog in the Meadow’ and keeping a steady beat by using our bodies. In the song, there are four beats at the end where we had to jump like a frog. Each time we sang the word ‘glumph’ we had to show one beat of music with one frog jump. This led us on to the popular song of Crazy Frog which the class absolutely loved! Here we are doing some movement activities to the song.
