Hello everyone,

time for a quick p3m update.

Baili wanted to share that we have been working on a routine in gymnastics that he will perform for his PE assessment this term.

Eden wanted to share that we have been making wanted posters for the witch from the story of Hansel and Gretel.  This built on the skills we had been working on last week when we made missing person’s posters for Hansel and Gretel.

In literacy, Jake has been working on his common words and putting them into sentences.

Louise has enjoyed drama and really enjoyed conscience alley where we explored the poem of the Spider and the Fly.  Jessica M really enjoyed this too.

Ana wants to tell you that we have been looking at multiplication and division facts of 4.  Jaksen enjoyed when we used 4 hula hoops and shared little rings into the 4 hula hoop groups.  Cara has enjoyed learning her 4 times tables.  Lauren has enjoyed dividing by 4.  Evan enjoyed his 3 times tables last week.

Jessica D has enjoyed learning our French weather words.

As part of our new Religious Buildings topic, Sophie was learning about the story of God’s promise to Abraham and created a poster to show her understanding of the story.  Callum S has been enjoying learning about different religions.

Erika has been enjoying ERIC reading where EVERYONE READS IN CLASS and we read a book for enjoyment.

During our Jigsaw Health and Wellbeing lessons we have been learning about our dreams and goals, William shared his dream of becoming a professional footballer.

Primary 3 also have a request, we are looking for large sheets of cardboard for our show props.  If you have any large sheets of cardboard that you could spare we would be very grateful.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss MacKenzie

In P.2jm and P.2cw we have been working hard to learn our lines for P.2 – 4 show on the 13th of March! We have been spending time practicing ours songs and learning the dances to go along with these.

In topic, we have been having lots of fun! We have been becoming Knights by creating swords, shields and armour. We have also been looking at the structure of a castle and designing our own castles inspired by the work of artist Paul Klee.

We have been busy in numeracy learning our 2 and 5 times tables by looking at different strategies such as grouping or arrays. In maths, we have been looking at 3D shapes and how many faces these shapes have. We also built our own 3D shapes using nets.

In literacy, we are still reading our non-fiction books and finding out interesting facts each week! We have also been looking at putting words into alphabetical order.

Both P.2jm (19th of March) and P.2cw (5th of March) have a trip to Edinburgh Castle organised. We are really looking forward to this fun and exciting day so we can learn more about our topic! Forms for this will be given out this week.

Thanks for reading!

Abigail  – On Wednesday 30th January we went to Edinburgh to visit the Risk Factory.

Ross – We were split into different groups of about 5 or 6 of us. I thought it was amazing!

Lewis – We went into different rooms and saw risks that can happen in real life and how we can handle them. I enjoyed the experience.

Jessica – We were put into real life situations and experienced different risks within day to day life. I absolutely loved it.

Brodie – I found the Risk Factory enjoyable and we were put into groups with a tour guide, who took us around all the different situations. In my group there was Matthew, Billy, Malcolm, Lucy B, Milosz, Holly and myself.

Mason – At the end I was the bus driver and I crashed the bus! I found it a very good experience.
