A big well done to this week’s Star Writers!!

15.02.19

Last week Primary 2 made stick dogs.  The children thoroughly enjoyed looking after them and they certainly got lots of exercise in the playground.  Today the children wrote all about their new pets.  They were able to use lots of interesting adjectives to describe their dogs appearance and personality.

Today the boys and girls in P2 were busy measuring. First they were asked to throw a rubber ring as far as they could.  They were then asked to estimate and measure the length of their throws using meters and half meters.

Over the last three weeks the children have been learning a variety of jumps in their PE lesson. They are brilliant and as you can see, they were so fast it was incredibly hard to catch their jumps on camera.

Primary 2 have been learning about volume.  We know that we can compare volumes by pouring to find out which containers hold more/ less.  We can also put containers in order of volume.  

Hi there

Just to let you know there has been a change of date for the open morning.   The open morning will now take place on Wednesday 13th March at 9.15 -10 am.

We hope to see you there!

It was a snowy day but we were all keen to go out for our walk in the community to discover the different features of our community and look for patterns and shapes. The children were thinking about how our needs are met in the community and from their learning about children’s rights they were able to identify whether the features were something we ‘need’ or ‘want’. They developed their skills in taking photographs and here are some examples of their work. Apologies for the lack of photos of the children,  I got so carried away with their enthusiasm in using the cameras I forgot to take photos of the children!!

The  parent meeting times have now been allocated, so please check your child’s reading diary for the day and time of your meeting.

In our art lessons we have been exploring what happens to colour when you add black or white. Inspired by Claude Monet’s  painting, the Water Lily Pond, the children used different shades and tones of green.

The children have been exploring 2D shapes in and around our school. They can identify, name and describe the features using appropriate vocabulary.   We went on a shape hunt in the playground but we couldn’t find any pentagons!  Can you find any of these shapes at home or on the way to school?

Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a lovely holiday.

Just a reminder that  Parent/ Teacher meetings  are on Wed 30th and Thur 31st January and there is a letter in the reading folders to be returned, with your preferences noted, as soon as possible.
