Topic

We have been doing 3 topics this term!  Day and Night, Materials and Be Safe, Be Seen.  Here is an activity that has incorporated all 3.
  The children have made their own night time street with stars.  They have had to consider what materials to use, and what materials the people should be wearing to Be Safe and Seen. 
The stars are shining above the street and we have learnt how light pollution can affect looking at the stars.  We can see the 'stars' better in a darkened class than when lights are on and curtains open.

 

Winter Festivals (R.M.E)

Primary 2 have been learning  about winter festivals.  This week we learned about Diwali and in groups, made our own rangoli patterns.  These patterns are drawn at a doorway as a symbol of welcome. 

Macmillan Cake Morning

On Friday the 26th of September Primary 2 will be opening our classroom as a 'cake shop'.  We open at 10.45 and close at 12.30, but if you would still like some cake later - they will be in the community room at 1p.m and sold after school in the Foyer. 
We are accepting donations for cakes to help the Macmillan charity. 
 
Ways you can support us -

• Provide some cakes to sell
• Give your child some pennies to make a donation
• Come along and have some cake with us

Hope to see you on Friday :)

Bucket filler's challenge

Here are a few pictures from our 'Bucket Filler's Challenge'.  As you can see we had some very willing helpers!

Literacy

Primary 2 have been making their own choices about what they like to read.  They have been sharing books with friends and using Play Doh to help them learn spelling words. 

Nature Walk

Today we were out on a walk with Lindsey Taylor from the RSPB to look at the plants and animals in the local environment.  We soon discovered there were lots of plants and birds near to the school and we learned the names of some of them.

Well done Anchor Boys

Well done to all the P1 Anchor Boys who were presented with a green badge last week.  Well done especially to Murray who got a plaque for good attendance and Ronan who was chosen as the Best Boy.
