Primary 2 have had a busy but lovely week.

Park

We made the most of the lovely weather this week by taking Fred Frog to the park! We had so much fun and used our collaboration skills!

Healthy Menus

We used our new knowledge of the eatwell plate to discuss what makes meals healthy. We looked at the school’s lunch menu for the week and broke down each meal and decided what made it healthy. We then created our own menus, making sure we had a balanced diet.

Time

This week we continued to develop our knowledge of time in a real life context. We estimated and discussed time durations in our daily lives. We also engaged brilliantly in numeracy play and challenged ourselves!

Volcano Models

Continuing on with our volcano topic, we looked into the 3 types of volcanoes: shield, cinder cone, and composite. We then used clay to form our 3 different types of volcanoes! We are looking forward to painting these once they are dry!

(We also created volcanoes through our play using the construction blocks!)

What a great start to the week we had in Primary 1, we had a lovely trip to the park with Primary 3 and Fred Frog 🐸. Fred was helping us to spell lots of words in the park.

We have been enjoying the sunshine ☀️ and planting seeds, we were out in the garden planting our pumpkin seeds, we hope they grow big and strong.
We then worked on our balance and coordination skills in the trim trail before cooling off.

In RE we have been learning all about Mary as May is a special moth for Mary. We then started a wall display for Mary to remind us that this is a special month. On Friday we were all respectful at Mass, joining in with the prayers and hymns we know.

We hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend.

Wow! What an amazing time we are having! A little rain this morning did not dampen our spirits and the sun didn’t take long to come out. Today we have successfully attempted the cat walk, leap of faith, archery, raft building, low ropes and night line. It’s all in a days work. We are looking forward to fishing tonight followed by Highland Games for our last night activities. Check out our photos.

We have had a lovely sunny week in Rannoch. We have enjoyed time outside on the field and on the Trim Trail.

In class, we have moved on in our learning to begin to understand about different sizes and how to put them into order from biggest to smallest. We have also been learning about big, bigger & biggest…and small, smaller & smallest.

In our phonics studies we have learned lots about words beginning with the letter ‘l’ and the difference in the sounds of ‘l’ and ‘L’

A super week and we are looking forward to our long weekend!

The fun continues…

We have had to drag ourselves away from the camp fire tonight, where we sang songs, told jokes, played games and toasted marshmallows, to head up for supper. Roll on more hot chocolate. What a fantastic day two at camp. We can’t seem to wipe the smiles of our faces. Sun is shining, which made our raft building and catwalk activities even more enjoyable. All before we filled our bellies with sausage rolls, bean, and more. Not an empty stomach in sight. Then more activities. Night line, bushcraft and leap of faith finished off our day. Good, fantastic, teamwork, great, fun, enjoyable, creative are some words we have used to summarise our day.

Primary 2 had a very exciting week last week…here’s a wee snippet of some of the things we got up to!

Structure of the Earth

As we have recently began our new volcanoes topic, we began with looking at the structure of the earth and tectonic plates in order to discuss how volcanoes are formed. We tied this lesson in with STEM and used our collaboration skills to create our own playdoh; discussing how the ingredients mix to form a new solid. We formed our playdoh earths by layering each part with each colour representing the inner core, outer core, mantel and the earth’s crust.

Volcano Texture Artwork

As part of our volcano topic, we looked at the different textures of a volcano. We used adjective to describe textures; we thought the lava might be smooth and soft but the volcano would be rocky and rough. We explored a range of textures and chose which ones we though would best suit our volcanoes. Using our creativity and fine motor skills, we created amazing masterpieces!

Eatwell Buffet

We developed our knowledge of the wellbeing ‘healthy’ by learning about the Eatwell Plate. We discussed each category and why it is important to have a healthy diet. Using our new found knowledge, we explored the buffet and filled our plates with the aim to have a food from each of the food groups shown on the Eatwell Plate!

What a great start to our primary 7 camp. A fun filled day of archery, problem solving, leap of faith and crate climbing. The sun has been shining and so has our smiles. Fantastic start to our week. Looking forward to another day of action tomorrow. Check out our photos!

Welcome back after our Easter Holidays. We all enjoyed sharing with the class what we got up to during the holidays.

We had a super outdoor learning session this week in the school garden 🪴 We participated in a sensory treasure hunt, exploring the smells and feels in the garden.

In RE we picked the story of Jonah and the Whale 🐳. We all have a good understanding of the rules we have to follow and that grownups have to follow rules as well. We talked about how we all can make mistakes but it’s good to say sorry and God always forgives us. We made Jonah and the Whale 🐳 models to remind us of this.
