Good morning all, I hope you are well this morning. This is my last post before the Easter holidays  and I would like to wish you all a safe and relaxing time. It has been a strange couple of weeks and I have missed seeing the children on a daily basis. Please pass on my best wishes to them. To finish with, Joe Wick,the body coach has a dress up PE workout today and as I know how much the children enjoy playing with costumes, I thought they might like to join in. I will attach the link below. Happy Easter everyone!!

Good Morning Primary 2!

Boil an egg then use paint and pens to decorate it any way you like! If you don’t have an egg to boil, copy the template below and design your very own egg! I have attached some pictures for inspiration!

Have a look at this website: https://onelittleproject.com/easter-crafts-for-kids/. It has 40 different Easter craft ideas that you can try out – some of them look very cool and Miss Borsbey will be trying them out too!

I have also posted a grid full of fun activities for you to try at home! Please see the post titled “Spring Family Learning”.

Remember you can also take part in the Easter STEM Challenge! (Please see previous post titled “Primary 2 – Easter STEM Challenge” for details).

I hope you have a wonderful, safe and healthy Easter Holidays. Enjoy yourselves P2 and I’ll be back in 2 weeks with some more fun learning activities for you! See you all soon!

Good Morning Everybody!

This is our last day before our Easter Holidays starting this afternoon.

I know you have been learning about the Easter story. Easter is an important Christian festival. Watch this Powerpoint telling us all about Easter celebrations and if you can, retell some of the information to your family.

I know you had an opportunity yesterday to make an Easter card. There is a nice idea on youtube you might want to try, follow the link  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_gwArY5qNs

Also, continuing our work on getting information from a bar graph, look at the fruit graph carefully and answer the questions.                        fruit graph
