In our last music lesson the class learned a song for Remembrance Day called ‘Wear A Poppy’.  Below is a video of the children performing the song with different actions for each verse. What a great achievement for one lesson!

P2 3B – Curriculum Information – Term 2 2025

We recently learned a song all about fireworks and Bonfire Night. After we had learned the words and the melody, we also learned how to follow a graphic score. This showed us pictures of percussion instruments to play and when to play them. We worked in small groups to play our instruments and then we had the chance to move round different music stations. In the video you can hear us singing the song and playing four different pieces of percussion –  boomwhackers, tambourines, maracas and claves.

Rolls, Handstands and Cartwheels

This term, all pupils will be taking part in gymnastics, starting with mat skills and progressing to apparatus work. Gymnastics is a fantastic way for children to develop confidence, coordination, and strength while working at their own level.

Mat Skills Focus:

• Balances
• Jumps
• Rolls
• Handstands
• Cartwheels

Apparatus Focus:

• Pupils will explore different equipment setups
• They’ll be encouraged to create their own ways of moving from one side to the other

This approach supports creativity, problem-solving, and physical literacy.

Everybody loves this term in the gym, so I’m sure their will be plenty to talk about when they get home.

 

PE Reminder

Please ensure pupils:

• Come dressed appropriately on PE days
• Have appropriate footwear.  Now that the weather is changing, footwear can be changed before PE.
• Have hair tied up
• Remove jewellery and watches before the session

Week 1 – shapes and rolls

Blythswood Shoebox Appeal 2025 Leaflet

We are proudly supporting the Blythswood Shoebox Appeal – gathering small gifts to spread big smiles this Christmas.

Please read the leaflet or watch our video to see how to help us support people less fortunate than ourselves. Thank you 💕

 

We made lovely cards and messages to put into the boxes.

We filled our first box today!

 

We created some experiments to help us understand our weather topic. First we found that the rain falls when the droplets grow heavy and drop down through the cloud to the ground.

Next we created a cloud in a jar using hot water and ice to show us how the water cycle works. We found that warm, moist air meets cold air and voila – a cloud forms in a jar!

We learned some very big words – evaporation,  condensation and precipitation.

Then we learned that rainbows happen when sunlight bends through raindrops, splitting into colours like magic!

Next we found that light also bend when it enters water, making things look shifted,  stretched or even disappear!

Now you see it!

Now you don’t!      🪄               

Numeracy week was lots of fun!

Mrs Angus had a go at our challenge too! 

Our only rule is to be kind. P2/3B are really good at following our rule. We are very good at supporting each other every day! 😍
