This week Primary 2 have been learning about the life of Grace Darling. We wrote a report on the events of the rescue of survivors from the ship wrecked Forfarshire in 1838. We used digital technology to design a lighthouse in response to the story ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Rescue’.
Primary 2 have had a fantastic Health Week! Thanks to Mrs Telfer and the HWB Committee for organising such great activities! We loved taking part in Boot Camp, Sport’s Day, Enjoy-a-ball, dance and Martial Arts. We also learned lots from the police, the ambulance service, the RNLI and Mr Godley our local Podiatrist!
Primary 2 have been learning about the importance of lighthouses. We listened to the story of the ‘Lighthouse Keeper’s Breakfast’ and created our own breakfast. In maths we have continued to learn about equal groups, repeated addition and arrays. In French we have been playing colour games. We enjoyed playing basketball with the P.E students.

This week we started our new topic. We are learning all about seaside habitats and creatures living in rockpools through the Lighthouse keeper stories. In literacy we are continuing to read and spell compound words, we have spotted lots through our new topic! We have using our technology skills to build lighthouses and boats with lego. In maths we have been weighing in non-standard units. We made blossom tree pictures for our primary 2 mass to celebrate Spring.
Welcome back! Primary 2 have had a great start to the term. We have been drawing fruit and vegetable portraits in the style of the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

We have been learning about the journey of the banana and designing Fairtrade Fortnight posters which were displayed at the Fairtrade community event on Friday night at Linlithgow primary. We worked in pairs to produce a story map of the story of ‘Whistleless’ a bird who lost its whistle. We used talking tins to record our stories putting the events in the correct order. We dressed up on Friday to celebrate ‘World Book Day’.
