Welcome to back to Primary 2! We hope that you all had a lovely holiday and we would like to wish you a happy new year. We’ve had lots of fun this week. This week was ‘visions and value week’. We know that it is stated in our school’s vision that we should live like Christ. The value we decided to focus on was ‘friendship and teamwork’. We related the school vision and this value together through the parable of ‘The Good Samaritan’. We know that through this parable Jesus teaches us to be kind to others and helps others. Based on this teaching, Miss Meechan set us a task… have a little look!
We began by looking at the value of friendship by meeting up with our friends from P2B. We worked in groups and showed each other one of our favourite Christmas toys. We discussed what was important in teamwork and we know that only one person should be talking at a time and the others in the group should be listening and Alexis told us that this is called ‘respect’.
We also started our ‘Katie Morag’ topic. We began this topic by reading a Katie Morag story and learning that Katie Moray stays on an island. Then, we made our very own topic plan about what we want to learn in this topic. Have a look at our plan.
We learned about the differences between islands and the mainland by looking at a map on the United Kingdom. We then worked in pairs or trios to sort 6 different pictures into 2 categories of our choice. Some of the groups spotted that some pictures were of islands and others were of villages. As a class we sorted out all of the pictures into the correct categories.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Meechan and P2M
Sophie enjoyed doing gymnastics this week in PE and is already telling us all about Katie Morag!
Happy New Year P2!
Your Katie Morag topic sounds really interesting. You’ve thought of some great things to find out.I will pop in next week and you can tell me what you’ve learned so far.
