Good Afternoon,

We’ve had another very busy week in Primary 2!

On Thursday, we had great fun celebrating Burns Day.  In the morning, we wrote amazing stories about finding the Loch Ness Monster.  We worked hard to use interesting sentence openers in our work.  Then, in the afternoon, we had a Burns Supper in the area.  We tried haggis, neeps and tatties, sang Scottish songs, and some of children stood up and recited their Scots poems, out loud, in front of everyone! Superstars that they are!

In Maths and Numeracy, we continued to learn about money.  This week we were finding the total value of different groups of coins and looking at different ways to make the same total.  We also continued working on our subtraction skills.

We are still having fantastic fun playing in our café and the children are always coming up with new creative ideas for it.

Highlights of the Week:

Enso: I liked writing a story about the Loch Ness monster. 

Summer:  I loved the Burns afternoon and I said my poem with my friends in front of a big audience!

Cameron:  I liked making the tartan kilts with the paper.

Dineli:  I enjoyed learning about money and coins.

Luca: I liked free writing Friday.
