Good Morning P2/3.

I hope you are all ready for some exciting new learning this week. In your work packs that were made for you leaving school on Friday are 2 big grids with lots of activities and work. Week 1 grid is for this week, and week 2 grid is for next week ( these grids will be added to this blog for any child who did not receive a pack)Week 1 + 2 grid complete and  Week 1 + 2 grid CIRCLES. You can choose 5 activities per day which you would like to do. Reading books were not included in the packs therefore reading activities should be based on a book that you are reading at home. A book of your choice :). All other work should be completed in the jotter provided or on paper/printable worksheets.

In your pack you will find log on details for Sumdog and Studyladder where you will find lots of additional learning which can be done on an iPad or laptop. I am able to see who is doing what learning which gives me a good idea of how you are all getting on with your learning.

I am available to be contacted through the school twitter page if there are any questions.

I hope you all have a wonderful day. Remember to take breaks during your learning, go outside and get some fresh air and keep being ready, respectful and safe like you all always are.

Miss Hamill.

Today p3/4 had a visit from Mrs Bryce and baby Leighton. We learned about things that a newborn baby can do and found out that we were wrong about a few things we thought he could do.

p2/3 were lucky enough to have a visit from a fantastic guitarist – Miss Anderson’s brother!  The children really enjoyed getting the chance to ask questions about what it was like to perform in front of an audience and how it feels to play guitar.

Miss Anderson’s brother was kind enough to let all of the children have a go strumming his guitar and now they know how it feels first hand.

I’m sure the children will now feel inspired and more confident when auditioning for Blackburn’s Got Talent tomorrow! Good luck everyone!

Pics coming soon!

We could not have had a better day to celebrate Outdoor Classroom Day with Rowanbank! The children enjoyed hunting for suitable sticks for the fire, played games and created a bird orchestra during story time.  The children learned to identify dock leaves to use in the event of a nettle sting!  As you can see they had to put this new skill to the test a few times!  However, a few nettle stings certainly didn’t put them off drinking some nettle tea later on!

The children in P2/3 were making some yummy French cuisine today.  This was our first practise in preparation for entering the ‘linguachef’ competition.  As part of entering the competition the children will now have to write their own recipe and create a power point presentation.

We have decided to make ‘palmiers’ for this with a bit of a Scottish twist!  We won’t give away all of our secrets just yet but if you would like to try a simple palmier recipe then visit the link below!

P2/3 had a fantastic time today at the National Museum in Edinburgh.  They were able to handle a variety of Viking items including weapons, everyday items and money.  The children also enjoyed a show inside the auditorium before exploring some of the galleries.  We even managed to sneak in a quick look at the very impressive T-Rex!

To quote one of our children today ‘This was the best day ever!”.
