P2 Learning Reflection W/E 27th May 2022
Well done P2 for a super assembly all about Under The Ocean. You did a great job sharing everything you have been learning. We heard all about the water cycle, ocean layers and ocean creatures. The singing was fabulous too! Well done I am so proud of you all!
Willow – I loved the songs in our class assembly. I loved my bit when I speak. I thought that everyone was super good at sing and speaking!
Thea – I really liked singing and I really liked standing up and talking about octopus. Octopus are clever because they can camouflage.
Ella – I liked learning about how to do the assembly. We learned that whales live in the sunlight layer and dive down to the twilight layer to eat. They eat six tons of krill a day!
Jack – I enjoyed singing the sea shanty song in front of the whole entire school!
Louis – We had to talk about the ocean to all of the classes. It was our assembly and we never did one before. We learned about the ocean for our assembly. The ocean has layers; I didn’t know that I thought it was one big sea! Everyone was clapping and cheering when we did the sea shanty!
Alexander – I was liking the under the sea song. We were talking about our sea animals. I liked the sea shanty because everyone was stamping and clapping!
Grace – I enjoyed saying about the jellyfish having the same area as it’s mouth and bottom, it made everyone laugh!
Rhy-Lee – I liked rehearsing and I liked the sea shanty. I liked talking in front of all the classes.
Kyra – I enjoyed the Under the Sea song. I liked talking in the assembly!
Georgia – I enjoyed the sea shanty song. I liked me talking. I was talking about the ocean. I liked it was everybody was clapping, it was actually really fun and I have good moves!
Caleb – I liked doing the assembly. I liked doing the sea shanty song!
Josh – I liked singing the sea shanty song. I also liked saying about my lines. I was talking about a seahorse, the water cycle and the layers of the ocean. The water cycle goes round and round. It rises up and it forms into a cloud then the rain drops drop onto the land. It keeps going round and round!
Olivia – My highlight was the assembly. I thought it was funny when Grace was talking about the jellyfish because she said that their mouth was their bottom too! It made everybody laugh.
Elyas – I enjoyed doing the assembly. I liked it when we were getting ready to go. I like waiting before something starts. I feel excited. I felt kind of sad after because I wanted to do the assembly again!
Oliver – I enjoyed doing the assembly. I enjoyed singing the sea shanty and the under the sea song!

P2 Learning Reflection for W/E 18.02.22
Josh – I liked making the boat. We made it for Skipper to sail through his life. We used problem solving skills by letting everybody’s ideas be included.
Ella – I liked doing the gymnastics. We were using working together skills. It means that you work with someone to figure it out!
Oliver – I liked making the boat. We were building it so Skipper could sail through the river.
Arianna – I liked counting on with numbers. I was counting on in 2.
Nathan – We were spelling words with the nk and ng sounds.
Elyas – I liked talking about the storm. There is a red warning in England it is going to be really windy. In Scotland it will be snowing, we have a yellow warning. The storm is called Storm Eunice!
Rhy-lee – I liked doing gymnastics. We made up a routine. We looked at the cards and used some of the balances. We did rock paper scissors to decide who would pick a move.
Louis – We needed to try and build a bridge so Twitch couldn’t fall. We made a stand at the bottom and made a bridge so Twitch could walk. The stand was so it couldn’t fall down. I asked Nathan to make a stand and I started building the bridge and Alexander did the last piece to make it all. We were solving problems.
Georgia – I liked free play. We are playing schools and I was the teacher. I was reporting back to the parents if the children were being good or not. I had a note book and I had to say who was being good!
Thea – I enjoyed gymnastics. We were doing jumps, two balances and then rocket. We used balance skills to stay straight!
Olivia – I enjoyed gymnastics. Me and Alexander were making a routine. We took turns each to pick a balance. We worked together to make our routine.
Willow – I liked when we done the Twitch thing! We had to build a bridge for Twitch. We used paper to build our bridge. We had to talk and listen to each other to make the bridge.
Alexander – We were building the sides to make a house. We are trying to build a wall to do it but that can’t work. It doesn’t work because it builds at the side but it does not work in the middle. I am trying to do that on Monday!
Kyra – I was in the big bricks group. We made a PlayStation on the bridge so Twitch could play. We also had a little basket so he could bring the nuts back. Our bridge was good then it fell because it wasn’t strong enough. If we put a stand underneath it would be stronger!
Caleb – We did the nk spelling sound. I know think, sink and drink!
Grace – I was on holiday this week. I enjoyed making a pantomime with my cousins it was called Bairns in the Magic Forest!
P2 Learning Reflection for W/E 28.1.22
This week P2 have been looking at the spelling patterns for ee, ea and e. In numeracy the children have been using a number track and a number line to subtract. The children noticed that they had to be careful when counting back on the number track as each jump had to be made from the middle of the box and for the number line they had to make each jump from the line. A big well done to our finalists and winner in the Scots poetry recital!
Willow – I liked learning about orang-utans and doing gymnastics. Orang-utans have four fingers and a thumb just like us. They are really cleaver they can make gloves from leaves to protect their hands from prickly fruits. The build a nest each evening so they always have a clean bed.
Arianna – I made a Loch Ness monster with Mrs Brown.
Josh – I liked free play. I am making a poster for Jacks party.
Grace – I have enjoyed learning about orang-utans. They are the closest animal to us. They are born with a fear of snakes because a snake can swallow a baby orang-utan in one mouthful. They are really good climbers. They live in the rainforest canopy.
Elyas – I liked doing my Scottish poem. We were adding actions to it to make it more interesting. I won a certificate that I can put in a frame and hang up.
Ella – I liked doing gymnastics. We were doing rolls. The rolls were rocket roll and flying saucer roll. My routine was rocket balance and then we went down and did a flying saucer roll, we did a rocket roll to the other side. Then we finished with a rocket balance.
Louis – I enjoyed gymnastics we needed to do gymnastics things. I done a star, pike alien and rocket balance.

Rhy-Lee – Orang-utans are really cleaver. They can make gloves with leaves. They build a roof over their nest if it rains. They eat fruit, insects and bark.
Alexander – I like finding out about orang-utans. They can swing from tree to tree.
Caleb – I liked making tartan. We had to go the opposite way from the other one. The paper went in and out and in and out. I used red blue and green to make my tartan.
Thea – I got a certificate and a book and I won. It was for saying the poem Mince and Tatties!
Jack – I enjoyed making the tartan. You had to pick three or four colours and they had to be different colours. We got pieces of paper and slid them through some slots. It was difficult to get a black space to give the other colour some space!
Georgia – I liked free play. I was playing in the doll’s house. We were moving house. We had to put furniture out and move different furniture back into different spaces.
Nathan – I liked learning orang-utans can climb trees. They can build a nest just like a bird!
