Well were almost at the end of P2 and what a week we have had.

On Monday we walked all the way to morning mass in West Calder. We were very good and all listened very well. We then went to the park at the back of the community centre where we had snack and got soaked in the heavy rain but had great fun playing with our friends from P1. We then walked to the community garden and went around the stick man trail and enjoyed exploring the fairy garden.

On Tuesday we had our last session with Mr Lockhart. We enjoyed playing and our s’mores which were delicious.

Today we had our picnic. We made our own sandwiches and then enjoyed them in the trim trail and had a play.

Thank you  for a fantastic year, I hope you all have a fantastic summer😊

Folowing on from learning how to be safe in the sun last week,  today we looked at how we can be safe in and around water.  We thought about the different places we can find water and why we need to be safe even if we are just walking beside it. We discussed the different things that can be dangerous and what we can do to keep ourselves safe. We also thought about what we would do if we were or seen somone in trouble. We created some warning posters and tried on Miss Lawtons buoyancy aid.

We have been enjoying watching our caterpillars grow and turn into butterflies. After waiting a while the have changed and look beautiful. Today we released them and some were very friendly and did not want to leave us.

We loved having our parents in today and hope you enjoyed doing sun safety with us.

We are all loving construction club. Especially the junk modelling. This week we have a robot themed, we are enjoying using the mobilo, magnates, ello to create our own robots.

P2 are learning about day and night in topic at the moment. We decided to look at what animals have been around the school during those times. We set up some mammal tunnels to track what has been around the school and at Miss Lawton’s house. After a few attempts we have some tracks!

Using an ID sheet we think the bigger prints are cats or maybe a hedgehog and the smaller prints being a weasel or a mouse. Thank you to the Easter Breich wood community group for letting us borrow the mammal tunnels we have loved exploring what visits the school.

This week we loved being back with Mr Lockhart for outdoor learning. We were looking for signs of spring and learning about the trees.

We have also been learning how the moon changes shape and what the different stages are called. We ate Jaffa cakes to show each change in the moon.

This week we have had lots of fun. We loved the lovely weather on Monday and went to the park whilst it was sunny. We had a great time and enjoyed playing with our friends.

As part of our Lenten fundraiser we made Easter nests. We loved crumbling the Shredded Wheat and mixing the chocolate. We even managed not to eat the chocolate whilst mixing which was very tricky.

We also had 2 furry visitors from the nursery in our class later this week. We loved having Muffin and Biscuit in the classroom the were very good at giving cuddles and eating their food.

A big thank you to Cody’s Gran who was very kind and knitted us all a bunny with a hidden egg inside it. It was very kinds and  we wish we could knit like that.

Have a lovely holiday!

What a busy few weeks we have had in P2.

Yesterday we enjoyed the Lenten funfair and took part in many of the activities. We particularly liked the throwing ones.

Today P1 joined us with some Easter art. We used different lines to create our rabbits and even gave them some glasses.
