This week primary 2 have been learning to word build with the soft c sound. We have been writing a story using ‘Rosie’s Walk’ as a stimulus with a focus on prepositions. In topic we have been learning about food which comes from plants and animals. We played a game to match the food items to the animal or plant it comes from. We worked as a team to build fantastic snowmen in the playground!
Happy New Year! Hope you have had a lovely holiday. Primary 2 have had a great start to the term by learning about our new topic ‘Farm to Fork’. We have written imaginative stories about a walk in the Winter, We used oil pastels and paint to make a Winter tree picture. We have started practising our Scottish song ‘Katie Bairdie’ to present at our Burn’s Assembly.
Congratulations to primary 1 and 2 on a fantastic nativity! They worked so hard and performed two fantastic shows to the school community. Well done to primary 2 on a super performance of the song ‘Around the World’ you sang beautifully! We had a very yummy Christmas lunch with turkey, ice cream and juice!

Primary 2 made finger print Rudolph the Reindeer and Christmas tree cards to sell at our Christmas Fayre last Friday. We walked to the church on Wednesday to run through the nativity and practise our lines. We started our class talks on our favourite toy. We described our toy, where we got it and what we like to do with it. In P.E we learned some traditional dances.
