Primary 2/1 worked together to create a class charter. We looked at relevant articles from the UNCRC and referred to those to help us decide on some actions to ensure that the rights of everyone in the class will be met.

Primary 2/1 have been learning all about the Queen. We found out lots of interesting facts about Her Majesty then planned our own Jubilee party to celebrate her 70 years on the throne. We made crowns, drew portraits of the Queen and designed a birthday cake.

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.

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.
Primary 7 weekly update
It was lovely to be back with all our friends again.
We started a new Numeracy topic on volume. We have been learning how to read volume scales on beakers and jugs in millilitres and litres, working out problems with volume and we have begun learning how to calculate the volume of cubes and cuboids in cubic centimetres.
In literacy, we watched a short persuasive animation and tried to work out the message it was showing us. We then looked at the different devices the animator used to persuade us and discussed how effective these were.
In art, we started using the new drawing pencils we got at the end of last term. We learned how to draw a realistic mouth.
Have a great weekend everyone.

To mark the end of their Circus topic, P2/1 performed their own Circus to the Primary 1 class on the last day of term. The boys and girls worked hard practising their routines and deciding on the music they wanted to perform to. Well done P2/1, your Circus was amazing!

Primary 2/1 are now coming to the end of their Circus topic and this week have been busy practising for their own Circus performance. We set up our ticket office in the playground and sold tickets to the P1’s who will be the audience for our Circus next week.
In Numeracy, we have been learning about money, and our knowledge of adding coins of different amounts came in useful when selling our tickets.

Primary 2/1 have been learning about electricity this term. They explored whether objects are battery, mains powered or solar powered. They have thought about how much they depend on electricity in their daily lives and made a pictogram to show their electricity use each morning. We found out that lots of people use an electric toothbrush!

This week P2/1 have been investigating the different stages in the life cycle of a butterfly. We wrote about the different stages and drew pencil drawings of butterflies. We then coloured our drawings in with bright colours, remembering to make the patterns and colours symmetrical. We enjoyed taking part in butterfly yoga, moving our bodies through the different stages of the butterfly life cycle.

Primary 2/1 had great fun today dressing up for World Book Day. Everyone looked fantastic in their costumes. In class, we listened to the story Monsters Love Underpants. We painted our own monsters, then designed underpants to hang on the class washing line!
