We enjoyed performing at the assembly. We liked doing the mini beasts song and the butterfly song. We worked hard to learn our speaking parts. At first we were a little bit nervous, but then it was okay. Everyone like what they were doing. In writing we finished our storyboards about Mr Grinling. We learned about Grace Darling and how she saved nine people during a stormy night and looked after them in her lighthouse. We watched the lunch-bunch and learned about healthy eating. We have been learning about asking questions using question words and question marks. We continued to learn about division. We also made graphs and asked questions of each other about the information on the graph.

We write a cartoon storyboard about the Lighthouse Keeper’s week. We have been practising our Mini-beast assembly. We have shown what we know about halves and quarters and enjoyed working with a partner to find halves and quarters of numbers. Holly enjoyed improving her tennis skills in P.E. We practised how to serve the ball. We all loved the singing games that we did with Mrs Curle from the National Youth Choir. It was great to have so many visitors to our Reading PATPAL. We enjoyed sharing our learning.
P2 trip to Amazonia!
Primary 2 took a walk on the wild side this week when we visited ‘Amazonia’ as part of our science topic about mini beasts. We saw lots of exotic animals – monkeys, parrots, frogs, tarantulas, butterflies and more! We enjoyed watching the amazing leaf cutter ants hard at work and holding Milkshake the snake during our animal handling session!

We took advantage of the good weather and enjoyed having our ERIC time in the school garden again!
We took part in an Author’s Live session with author and illustrator- Emily Mackenzie.
As part of our Science work, we ventured outside on a mini beast hunt and we are all looking forward to our class trip to Amazonia on Tuesday.
We worked with Mrs Curle from NYCO on singing games. It helped us improve our skills in listening and following instructions too!
We’ve all had a great week.

This week we learned about halves and took part in a quiz to identify halves in real life. We made a picture story about Mr Grinling the Lighthouse Keeper. In P.E. we continued to develop our tennis skills and in Health and Well-being we learned about respecting ourselves and created colourful pictures called ‘I am, I can’. Anya’s nana came to visit us and share what it was like for her growing up in the highlands of Scotland. She had photos of her life. Thank you so much for visiting us – we all really enjoyed it!
Well done to Maizy and Caleb for having their Oor Wullie cartoon strips chosen from P2 to be put on the School statue. 🙂
