Singing stars in Primary 2!

This week we have been learning how to measure in centimeters with a ruler.

Zoe- You have to make sure the zero is placed at the beginning of the object you are measuring then you read the number which is at the end of the object you are measuring.

We understand that Centimetres are marked on a ruler as CM and we have been writing this when recording our measurements.
Here are a couple of photos we took of each other measuring with the iPads.

Our aim this week in writing was to use adjectives to describe the Train Conductor. We have thought of lots of interesting describing words for his appearance and his character.

Here are some examples.

To help us practise our spelling words we have been making them from playdoh.

Through our topic, we have explored how Polar Bears stay warm, we completed a Science experiment to find out more.

Our experiment involved us putting our hands into a bowl of water full of ice cubes.
One of our hands had a special glove with oil in it which acted as the blubber.
We had to write down our predictions and our results.
The result of our experiment was that our hand in the oil was warmer than our other hand. This helped us to understand how the Polar bears blubber keeps it warm. We also watched a video clip which explained this further.

In class, we have been practising singing jingle bells and this week we went along to record our song. This was a super experience and we loved all singing together into the microphones. Miss Boyes said she loved listening to us sing as our voices were amazing.

We have been singing lots this week as we have been practising for our nativity show. We love all of the songs and we are learning to all sing at the same time and with good volume.
Our Scottish Country dancing is looking great in PE, this week we practised the Virginia Reel. Here we are showing off our dance moves.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and Primary 2!
