P2 Powerpoints

As part of our weekly ICT lessons the Primary 2’s have been learning how to make Powerpoints. They had to have an introductory slide followed by 5 more slides with examples from the different animal groups they have been learning about this term ie. mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds , fish and reptiles.

They were really proud to share their powerpoints with the rest of the class.

Digital Committee – QR Codes

The P1/2 class are the Digital Committee this term. They have worked hard to create this interactive display to challenge all the children in the school.

They presented their idea in assembly to the other classes.

To answer the question about each minibeast the children must scan the QR code on an ipad. This takes them to a website where they can find the answer.

Grandparents Afternoon

What a fantastic afternoon spent with so many grandparents. The children were so delighted and excited to play games, do puzzles and show everyone around. There was such an amazing feeling throughout the whole school.

There Was An Old Lady

The children loved the Song called ‘There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly’. We read the story in class, then watched a video which allowed the children to compare and chat about the differences. They sang the song in Music with Mr Travins earlier in the week too.

The Children did Drawing Club about the story and enjoyed playing with the puppets afterwards.

They set up their own puppet Show in Class during Golden Time on Friday. It was amazing to see the organisation and cooperation amongst the children. They provided seats for the audience, as well as tickets and ‘snacks’.

The whole audience joined in with the singing. I shall try and share a little video on here for you to see.

 

Back to School

The children were delighted to be back at school this week. They are always excited to see what is new in the classroom but mostly they are excited to see their friends.

The train set is always a huge hit in the classroom. The children work together to build some really good layouts and play together so well with the trains

As part of their numeracy work the primary 1’s have been learning about Ordinal Numbers. They did this with the primary 2’s lined up and then they had their own little tub of objects to set out in an order of their choice. They practiced using the words 1st, 2nd, 3rd …….10th to say the positions of the items in their lines.

This term the IDL topic is titled ‘Here, There and Everywhere’. The childrenĀ  worked in groups to discuss and plan what they would like to learn about this term. Their drawing show lots of fantastic ideas and they are very excited about leading their learning through this topic.
