This week in P2/1 we have been learning about the sense of hearing.  We had a listening walk around the school and drew the things we could hear.  We played a guessing game where we had to listen to different sounds and identify them.  Some were quite tricky. We also experimented with different instruments to find out if they made a quiet noise or a LOUD noise!

We use our ears to listen. – Ruby

We have to listen carefully to sounds. – Harris

Our ears have three bit.  The outer ear, the middle ear and the inside ear. – Adam

Soundwaves go into our ears and our ears send a message to our brain. – Cooper

We experimented with tuning forks and watched what happened to water when a tuning fork touched it.

The water exploded! – Kian

It splashed up.  – Lucy

We learned that vibrations cause soundwaves which make noise.

We also learned that people who can’t hear are deaf.  They communicate using hand signals called sign language.  We watched Mr Tumble and found out about loud and quiet noises.  He used sign language to talk to people.

Next week we will be using our noses to learn about the sense of smell!

Have a good weekend!

In P2/1 we have started learning about our senses.  This week we are finding out all about our sense of sight.  We learned that we use of eyes to see and that our eyes send messages to our brains.

We used mirrors to look at the different parts of our eyes.

Skyla – The iris is the coloured bit of our eyes.

Aaron – The black circle in the middle is the pupil.  If you shine a light in your eyes it gets smaller.  It protects your eyes from the bright light.

Can you see what colour of iris these children have?

We learned about the job that our eyelids and eyelashes do.

Kayleigh – They protect our eyeballs from dust.

Adam – It helps to keep our eyes clean.

Some people in our class had longer eyelashes than others!

We decided that Calvin had the longest eyelashes!

We watched a video clip to find out how our eyes work and then we draw a picture of one of our own eyes in our books and labelled it.

We will be learning more about the sense of sight tomorrow…..

This week primary 2 have been busy learning about…..

“We have been making split pin toys from the past.” – Lily McD

“In maths we have been learning our 2 times table.” – Jaxon

“We know how to go up in 2’s.” – Ollie

“We have been writing about our easter holiday.” – Katie

We hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Yesterday David was busy making Box Monsters with his Granda.  The boys and girls in P2/1 thought that they were so awesome looking that we wanted to share them with you!

Well done and thank you for sharing David!

Hopefully after today  we won’t have any more snow for a LONG time.

Although it might not be everyone’s favourite weather Rhys and Adam obviously didn’t let it stop them from having fun!

The snow was so deep that it was almost up to Rhys’ knees!

Adam enjoyed making snow angels and having snowball fights with his sister and brother.  I wonder who won?

Just as well Adam and his brother Jack didn’t want to go cycling as their bikes were completely buried!

Lucy has been busy over the last few  days.

She made a super snowman who is much taller than her.  I love his smiley face!

She also made an amazing snow seat although I don’t think I’d like to sit in it for too long!

Well done Lucy!  Looks like you have had lots of fun.

See you tomorrow.

Mrs M :o)

I hope you are all enjoying your time off, but I hope you are looking forward to getting back to school.  I know I am and can’t wait to see you all soon!

If you’d like another activity to do, today or tomorrow, try this out….

During our last snowy days in January we learned that water can be a liquid (when you can pour it or drink it) a solid (when it freezes into ice or snow!) and a gas (steam coming out of the kettle).

Can you spot any changes in the snow around you?  What happens to the snow/ice when the temperature gets warmer?  What happens to water if you put it in the freezer? (or even leave it outside on a freezing cold day!).        Can you spot any water changing to gas in your house? Look at the kettle when mum or dad is making a hot drink or when someone is running a bath/shower.  *Remember not to touch it as it will be hot*.  What happens to the steam when it touches the walls or a mirror?  Where do you think the steam from the kettle goes?

Can you draw water in the different ways and label them? (solid/liquid/gas).
