P2/3

A hair-raising effort was made for Comic Relief!

 

In Maths, they have been learning about halves and quarters of shapes and numbers.

  

The children have been making toys from the Victorian times- a jack in the box, a spinner, a jigsaw and a thaumatrope.

 

P2/3 Victorian Research.

The children were set a task to find out information about the Victorians, out and about where we live and places they had visited. Also, they were asked to bring in artefacts and be able to talk about them. Here are some of their findings and special things from the Victorian times-

We now have our own museum of information and artefacts.

Thank you for all of your wonderful efforts!

P2, P2/3 and P3’s Victorian Day- Part 2

We have had a wonderful couple of days being Victorians. On Thursday, the children dressed as Victorians and had a session at a Victorian School. Then they had ‘gruel’ for breakfast.

Some children wanted ‘MORE’!

The children had their daily march. They played some traditional games.

 

The children made kites. Freya is studiously measuring the string she needed. I was very impressed with her measuring skills.

The children were very busy with a tricky task.

Fortunately, it was a windy day to test the kites!

The P5s came to observe our kite making skills.

The children also made peg dolls. There were some interesting characters!

 

 

 

P2/3’s week.

Daniel won a medal for the best Barbarians team at an Edinburgh and The Lothian’s chess competition on Sunday. Well done, Daniel!

The children were doing an art lesson on Victorian silhouettes and went outside to look at shadows first.

World Book Day parade.

Fabulous effort and lots of interesting characters!

New Lanark/ Victorian Assembly.

Some clips of our assembly today about New Lanark and Victorians.

The children sang and danced to Food Glorious Food from Oliver. They also sang beautifully- Daisy Daisy and My Daddy wouldn’t buy me a bow wow.

The children spoke very clearly.
