Primary 2 Term 1!

Hello and welcome to the primary 2 blog!

We have made a fantastic start to primary 2 and are really enjoying our new classroom!

Just like in primary 1, we use The Zones of Regulation to help talk about our feelings and emotions.  We made peg dolls to help with our daily check ins…

We enjoy playing and learning through our play. We make full use of our classroom, the area outside our classroom and our outdoor spaces….

One of our term 1 maths topics was addition. We have been recording our learning journey in our classroom floor book! Here are some shots of us in action…

Our topic in term 1 was ‘The Senses’.  We enjoyed doing lots different experiments…

During a busy week, we really enjoy our Fun 31 time!  A chance to unwind and maybe try something new!

 

Term 2 October and November

Halloween!

We have had a very busy start to term 2!  Everyone came back to school after the holidays very excited about Halloween.  We really enjoyed reading Meg and Mog books.  Pop in to the lower corridor to see our own Mog cats!

Bonfire Night!

We learned all about keeping safe on bonfire night and decided it was a message we needed to share!  We made posters then used the iMovie app on our class ipad to make a short video to share the important things we had learned…click on this link to watch it!

We made beautiful bonfire artwork!  Pop in to see it in the lower corridor!

Light and Dark!

As part of our topic work this term we have been reading ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’.  We haver really been enjoying reading about Plop and his family as well as facts about barn owls.

 

As part of our work on light and dark we have been learning about the effect light and dark have on bulbs.  We planted Hyacinth bulbs, we hope they will be ready to take home for Christmas!

Fire Festival!

The preparations have started!  The 2024 Jarl asked use to take part in a shield designing competition.  There will be a winning shield from our school on his galley!

What a busy term 1!

Primary 2 have had an awesome first term of the school year! They have settled well into their new classroom and have been working hard on lots of different things.  Here is a peerie snapshot of our learning…

Choosing Time…

Lego is always a favourite at choosing time!
Our Maths station is always busy!
Happy lasses!
Great teamwork!

The Senses…

We learned about our 5 senses.
We made hand drums during our work on our sense of hearing.

STEM…
We joined up with Primary 1 to do some cross class learning.  Our STEM challenge was to make a scarecrow that could stand up following a design brief!
