<\/p>\nP2B have had another jam packed week of learning.\u00a0 Here are our best bits:<\/p>\n
Jonah enjoyed our celebration of St Andrew’s Day this week.\u00a0 The children took home the art activity they created on Monday which included a 3D kilt (national dress), 3D sheep (animal found in the hills and highlands) , 3D Saltire (Scottish flag) and thistle (national flower).\u00a0 \u00a0We listened to traditional Scottish music while we create our pieces.<\/p>\n
Amelia liked making boats.\u00a0 We listened to the Bible story about how St Andrew was a fisherman and\u00a0 Jesus called him to be “fishers of men”.\u00a0 We built a boat from tinfoil and our challenge was to make it\u00a0 strong enough to hold the weight of 10 lego pieces.\u00a0 Look out for the upcoming photo of your child trying to float their boat on Seesaw.\u00a0 We then went on to further explore floating and sinking, building upon our learning in P1.\u00a0 We predicted if certain items would sink or float and then compared our prediction with the actual results.<\/p>\n
Markuss loved making our class ‘Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar’ (see photo on Seesaw to see your child’s contribution).\u00a0 Each day the class will try and carry out theses acts of kindness to make the world a better place during this season of Advent.<\/p>\n
Ishani S said that her favourite part of this week was the blessing of the crib by Fr Simon.\u00a0 On Friday, through Teams, the children attended a special service where Fr Simon unveiled the crib and blessed it.<\/p>\n
Mrs Devlin’s highlight was when we explored our ‘ Children’s Right to Play’ this week.\u00a0 On Tuesday, in the woodlands, the children broke into small groups and came up with a new game to teach another group.\u00a0 The ideas were quite creative!\u00a0 Some even brought in elements of maths!\u00a0 There was a lot of super teamwork going on where listening to others was evident.\u00a0 I was very proud of how everyone worked together.<\/p>\n
Thank you to our two Lead Learners this week, Ishani S and Mariam.\u00a0 Their target for us this week was for everyone to tidy up quicker during tidy up time.\u00a0 Thank you Lead Learners for the important work you do and for identifying ways that we can improve.<\/p>\n
