Well that is us at the end of our first term together in Primary 2! What a fantastic term it has been indeed! We have finished off the term with lots more fun activities to share with you all!
Our last day of Term 1 was so much fun! We came to school in our 'Dress to Express' clothes and paid a donation towards UNICEF. We played football with ICTFC players and even had a Primary 2 disco! A lovely way to end a fabulous first term together!
As part of our community topic we wanted to show how we travel to school safely. We made some comic strips showing all the steps involved in us getting to school as safely as possible.
It was wonderful to welcome all of our special people into our classroom this week! We do hope you had fun creating our kindness buckets with us and seeing around our classroom!
We have had a wonderful experience reading about Plop the Barn Owl in our class novel this term! We have finally finished our book this week and thought we would create an owl stack surprise piece of art work. We all thought it looked like Plop falling out of his tree in the book!

We are officially in the spooky season and have reached October in Primary 2! Take a look at what we have been getting up to below...
We got our hands messy in our art this week by creating spooky owl eyes. We learned that using the chalk pastels at different angles can provide us with different textures! We cannot wait to show you our finished results at our open morning next week.
We have been enjoying our superhero creative writing this term. This week we were writing about our superhero power of transportation. If we blink we could transport ourselves anywhere in the world!
We have been having so much fun in PE this term. We have been learning lots of new games and trying our best to encourage and support each other to have a sense of team spirit! This week we had loads of fun doing our own version of, 'The FLoor is Lava' and 'Line Tig' amongst many more!
We have been practicing our amazing addition skills through maths dice games! Here we are playing 'Knockout' and 'Pig'. Ask us and we can show you how to play at home!

We have been learning about our red squirrels as part of our local community topic. We learned about the awful squirrel pox that hurting the red squirrels and making their numbers become so low. SO we decided to make posters to help save our local squirrels!
We have been really enjoying our creative writing sessions this term on Superheros! We have been writing about what superhero power we would like to have and whether we would keep our power a secret or not!
We had a STEM engineer visit us. Natalie Moore is the STEM Engagement Lead for the Transport Scotland A96 projects (Jacobs). Natalie came into school to deliver sessions on Sustainable Development and UNCRC. FOr our class we were drawing all of our favourite things!

We have our first two Star of the Month Awards that were awarded at assembly today. One is for being a super mathematician and one is for beautiful presentation of work across the curriculum! Well done to both of our superstars, so proud of you!
We have been learning about French greetings so we are now able to say Good Morning, Good Evening and Good Night, as well as how we say hello and goodbye to our friends and to adults!
Mr Hays our fabulous Janitor came in to class with a very special guest this week! It was our Robot Hoover! MR Hays showed us how the robot scans the room to make sure it hoovers up all the floor space at the end of the day. Mr Hays says our robot needs to have a name so we have to think over the long week and hold a vote when we are back in class. We all thought our robot was so cute!!
Everyone in P2B just loves PE! Mrs MacIver had a hard job taking pictures of everyone as they all were running so fast!! We always enjoy our wind down stretches and exercises at the end of our PE sessions too.
We have been doing more work on our class novel. We have been sharing things that we are scared of in real life! Some of us are scared of snakes, or spiders, or nightmares!

Every term we complete our wellbeing webs so we can share whether we feel we are safe, healthy, achieveing, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included. Here we are completing our webs for our first term of P2!
We have been busy making sketch maps of our local area. We decided to put our school in the centre and identify important buildings that are nearby.
We have really been enjoying the character of Plop in our class novel this week. So much so that we decided to make our very own Plop owls for our classroom wall display! Here are some photographs of us putting all the sections of Plop together. We even made his eye pop out by using cupcake cases and bright gold for Plop's irises to help him see in the dark!
Please find attached to this post, our termly overview for you to peruse, so you can have an idea of what we expect to cover in our learning during this first term together.
