This week in Primary 2 we have continued to look at measurement, and have started to focus on weight. We used cubes to help us estimate the weight of some objects in our classroom. We then weighed them and compared the actual weight to our estimate.
Primary 1
Within Maths and Numeracy this week, have been learning to match numerals to number words. We have also been exploring fractions by finding halves of shapes and quantities.
Last week, we learnt facts about the Queen. We also created line drawings of her and crowns to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee.

Today we helped to raise money for a charity close to our hearts. May is the month of the year where people raise awareness for Vasculitis. In Primary 6 we created badges and asked all the children in the school to wear something red to show our support `for this special cause.
We hope we have raised lots of money for this amazing charity!

In Maths, we have been investigating measure and tried measuring different objects around the school using our hands, feet, cubes and lollypop sticks. We learned that these are non-standard units of measurement, while rulers and metre sticks are standard units of measurement.

This week Primary 1 have been busy investigating ‘measure’. We used a range of non –standard objects to measure the lengths of items around our classroom e.g measuring with lego pieces, dominoes and pencils.
We are learning about farming and this week we took part in a STEM challenge to design and make a hen coop. We looked at a range of designs and talked about what hens would need inside their coops and also how to keep them safe from predators. We firstly designed our homes on paper and then began to make a 3D model. Watch this space!
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our ‘Farming’ assembly. We enjoyed talking about our learning so far.

The last 2 weeks we have had visits from Zoe Gordon in school who shared her knowledge of French with us. We have been learning greetings, colours, numbers and animals.
We have been researching how to keep our teeth healthy and shared our knowledge with the dentist when we had our dental checks in school. We also designed posters to encourage others to look after their teeth.
We are busy learning sounds from our new phonics block and have been consolidating our learning making words from playdoh, using ict games, board games and building words with our sounds on the magnetic boards.

On Monday, our Painted Lady butterflies emerged from their chrysalises. We fed them pieces of orange and sugar water. After a few days they were strong enough to fly away so we released them outside. Some of us held out our arms in the hope they might land on us and linger in the playground but they flew straight up into the sky!
We have really enjoyed seeing the butterfly life cycle in our class and learning about it in more depth. This morning we drew pictures and wrote about where we thought they might have gone. Some of us imagined that they will see a rainbow, fly to another country or find a lovely park somewhere.
Good luck, butterflies!
