We had the pleasure of meeting two gorgeous peerie ducklings which were being looked after in the school after hatching in an incubator! We have been learning about Spring and also life cycles of animals so this fitted in perfectly. The ducklings were so very cute and cuddly.

Busy in P2/3
Here are a few photos from the last few weeks! When we build we are developing our fine motor skills which benefits our handwriting. We are also learning about 2D and 3D shapes. We are also planning and modifying what we are doing and working in pairs or small groups means we are learning about negotiation.
Circus Skills Workshop
We had an interesting session this morning learning some new skills! We had a visit from the Let’s Circus team who ran a workshop where we had a chance to learn skills such at spinning plates, hulahooping and rolling/jumping. Look how we got on!
SPRING IS DEFINITELY HERE!
We explored the garden and playground for signs of Spring this morning as part of our topic ‘Living Life!’
We found lots of interesting things that we know are to do with Spring – lambs in the field, daffodils, dandelions, buttercups, caterpillars, buds, leaves on trees, blossom, green grass, sun high in the sky, tadpoles, bumblebees and plants beginning to grow. The caterpillars were very popular!!
Da Voar Redd Up
We enjoyed a dry and bright window of weather on Tuesday afternoon – which luckily coincided with our Voar Redd Up slot!
We were teamed up with our talking partners and a pair from Secondary 1A. We had a great time ‘hokking’ around for bruck and managed to fill a few bags although there wasn’t too much to find.
Memory Boxes
We had a lot of fun decorating our Memory Boxes today. We each took in a box which we were able to decorate and label with the art materials available. It was a lot of fun and the children were all attentive at their task. We also learned about using apostrophes!
A Memory Box can be used to store your memories so you can come back and look at it whenever you like. You might put in it favourite toys from when you were younger, books, drawings, cards, or maybe something to remember a loved one by who is no longer with us.
Thank you Dylan for originally sharing the idea with us :-).
Topic – Extreme Weather
P2/3 have been learning with their talking partners and researching weather around the world. They took notes on different climates and shared and compared their findings with other pairs. Well done on all your learning on Extreme Weather this term P2/3!
RNLI colouring in competition
Elora and Thomas M were delighted to receive their RNLI colouring in competition entries back framed. They had been chosen as the top two colouring in entries in the class! Well done. Thank you to Ian Derbyshire for coming down to deliver the news!
P2/3 Class Assembly
We would like to say a huge thank you to parents and families who were able to come to our assembly today. We know that it is not always possible for everyone to come. Thank you for all the support from parents in learning lines and song words too.
We began our assembly with ‘Welcome Everybody’ from http://www.fischy.com/ an upbeat welcoming song which all the pupils and staff joined in with – and maybe some parents too – it is hard not to!
We then shared what we have been learning about Islam, as part of our RME curriculum – click on our parents web to find out more about our RME this term or feel free to ask Mrs A or Mrs B.
Next we shared a movie of us participating in our Fresh 15 minutes of exercise everyday. This movie was a lot of fun to make….and watch! Our Fresh 15 minutes of activity each days helps us to have healthier bodies and minds which helps us learn better at school. It’s win-win all round!
We finished off our assembly with another Fischy Music song – ‘I feel good’. It’s a cracker as well, acknowledging the different emotions we go through.
We really enjoyed our assembly and hope you did too. The pupils all showed how their confidence is growing in speaking on stage (with microphones!) to a whole hall full of people! Amazing. 🙂
Well done P2/3
Happy Holidays from P2/3!
We have enjoyed meeting Santa today and all received really cool books. Thank you Santa.
