On Thursday P2, P2/3 and P3 went on a very exciting trip to Inchcolm Island. We went on a bus and a ferry to get there.

We discovered a secret trap door on the floor of the ferry. This morning the P2s imagined what was beneath the trap door:

Sachin: ‘I think that there was a pirate behind the door guarding a treasure chest’.

Jack: ‘I think that it was a door to a mega shark tank’.

Aiyasha: ‘I think that it was a magic door. Inside the magic door there is a magic box with a magic wand in it.

Baillie: ‘I think that it was a door to SpongeBob’s house’.

Maya: ‘I think that it was a secret entrance’.

 

After climbing off the ferry, we went on an adventure walk around the island and explored the abbey. We had fun watching two seals playing in the water together while we ate our lunch on the beach. The children enjoyed collecting shells and Kieran even found a crab’s claw!

Leo: ‘My favourite part was finding the trap door’.

Jodie: ‘My favourite part was going on the boat’.

Daniel C: ‘I liked being at the seaside and eating lunch on the beach’.

Matthew: ‘I learned how waves work. If the boat goes fast, it makes bigger waves’.

Ayla: ‘I learned that a baby seal is called a pup’.

 

Daniel was very excited to see the

seals from the ferry window!

 

 

 

Our learning in class:

In P2, we have been learning about nouns. We know that nouns are naming words and we wrote a list of all of the nouns we could think of. We are beginning to understand the difference between proper and common nouns. 

In maths, we have been adding numbers together and learning about odd and even numbers.

Alex: ‘I learned how to make another number by adding two numbers together’.

Maya: ‘I learned that 4+4 makes 8 on the fish tank game’.

Niamh: ‘I worked with the 10 frame to add numbers to 10’.

Ryan: ‘I learned to add and take away numbers to 6 and 7’.

 

 

Well done to Sarah Foster who won the class prize for excellent behaviour this week!
