Panto Pandemonium Outfits

Just a reminder to wear your school uniform (red jumper with black trousers) for the Panto Pandemonium performances this week on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Maths: Measuring Area

This is a very busy week in Stromness Primary School but P2 have done very well so far to keep focused and learn something new.  We are learning about how to measure area.  We have started today by finding the area of a sheet of paper using some flat shapes.  At the end of this activity children were able to say that circles were not a good way to measure area because they left too many gaps but squares were good.  Here are Primary 2 having a go at measuring area.

Lots of concentration!

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.
