Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
This week in Primary 2 and Primary 2/1 we got the opportunity to share our learning on sun safety at assembly. We started off by sharing what we already knew about sun safety.
We then made sun safety posters and created our artwork for assembly.
Mrs Strachan and Miss McGregor were very proud of everyone’s hard work!
Hello, please find attached the Primary 2 learning overview for term 4.
Thanks, Miss McGregor 🙂
This week in Primary 2 we took part in a session on listening. We got the opportunity to use some musical instruments but had to make sure we were always listening for the next instruction so we knew when to stop.
We also started to learn about probability and chance We conducted a mini experiment where we all rolled a dice 20 times and recorded how many times we rolled each number. From this we could see that rolling a dice is completely random as all our data was different and the numbers we got each time was purely down to chance. We then put our data into a bar chart so we could easily compare our results.
This week in Primary 2 we have been continuing our topic on living things. We conducted some of our own research on the 6 different animal classification groups and had fun exploring their different characteristics.
We have also been practicing our number doubles with help from Jack Hartman and his doubles song. Here is a picture of us in action.
This week in Primary 2 we have continued learning about living and non-living things. We thought about how living things were similar and different and learned about the different animal categories before completing a sorting animals task . We then created an animal classification key to show the differences between the different groups.

We have also been working really hard on our common words with lots of us moving up a block making Miss McGregor very proud! Super Work Primary 2 🙂
Last week in primary 2 we started our new topic on living and non-living things. We spoke about how they are different and what living things can/ need to do. We sorted living and non-living things into categories and then designed posters to show what living things are. We have started to put together our new display wall to showcase our learning.
This week Primary 2 had great fun celebrating World Book Day. They got the opportunity to sit and read in the library as well as taking part in a scavenger hunt. They also had great fun showing off their costumes and they even designed their own book covers! They even managed to fit in a game of corners in the hall!!  Here are some pictures of what they got up to….

This week in Primary 2 we have been learning the ‘ng’ sound. We danced and sang along to a video about the ‘ng’ sound before having a go at using it to build words.
.
We have also been working really hard on practising our common words by using finger paint, cubes and rainbows. We challenged ourselves to write the words we had been practising on our whiteboard and got the rest of the class to double check it
.
Finally, on Friday we had a go at sharing our learning about space through drama. We became space explorers travelling through the galaxy pointing out and giving facts about things we could see along the way.
Well done Primary 2 for another fantastic week of work!
This week in Primary 2 we have been successful learners practising our addition and subtraction within 20. We learned about fact families and how to use these to help us find missing numbers in a sum. Here are some pictures of our maths stations.
This week in Primary 2 we have continued to work through our science topic sun, moon and stars. We explored star constellations and looked at the constellations linked to our star signs. We used our data gethering skills to find out everyones star signs. We had to be confident on our before and after number sequences to 30 to work out everyones signs depending on what date their birthday is, before creating a pictogram to display our results.
We continued to focus on our birthdays in french when practising our months of the year. We learned how to ask someone when their birthday is and how to reply saying my birthday is, before using our data gathering skills to put this into a table. Our birthday pictograms from last week helped us to check our answers! Here are some pictures of our work:
