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!!
3D Shape
P2/3 have enjoyed looking at 3D shapes over the past 2 days. We can name them and also talk about how many corners, edges and faces the shapes have. We have enjoyed making models using the different 3D shapes and using our cutting skills in a shape sorting activity.
Well done everyone!
