Alphabet challenge

In small groups we have been making our own alphabets out of play doh.  We have colour coded the letters to help us remember which letters are at the beginning, middle and end of the alphabet.

Sunny days!

We have been making the most of the bonny weather and having some of our lessons outside.  We have been using chalk for pavement art and moved the sand tray outside for measuring capacity.

Macmillan Coffee Morning in P2

Thank you to everyone who baked, donated and came to join in with our mini enterprise.  Mrs Gorn ran a coffee morning in the staff room so we have added this to our total. We still have some money coming in but at the moment we have just surpassed the £300 mark!
Primary 2 were excellent hosts, used good manners and were very helpful.  Well done Primary 2 :)

Exciting visitor

Primary 2 were very lucky today, we got to meet Joe's Grandad and his guide dog Bilbo.  The children had the chance to ask questions and even got to pet Bilbo. What a lovely end to the day - Thank you Joe for a fantastic show and tell.

Macmillan Coffee Morning in P2

Hello everybody, Primary 2 have been working on decorations for this Friday to make the class look nice.  We will be setting up a little cafe for families to come to where they can buy a cake and have a cup of tea or coffee (or diluting juice for wee ones).  

Cakes will be prices at 5p, 10p, 20p, and 50p but we will also happily take any other donations.  

If you are able to bake something for us, please drop it off before 9.30am on Friday.  

The P2 cafe will be open from 10.30-11.30 on Friday 25th September.  Hope to see lots of you here :)

Capacity

We have been learning that capacity is 'how much can you fit in' a container.  Sometimes we use liquids but really you can use anything.  We had a shot a using counters, lentils, rice, sand and water.  It was pretty messy but luckily we had some great helpers to tidy.

P2 literacy

P2 have been showing that they can match capital and lower case letters together.  Here are a few different ways the class chose to do this
1. Design your own colourful alphabet
2. Match the flowers to the pots
3. Join up the puzzle pieces
4. Use the big letter cards.

Yay! We're up and running!

Wow, I can't believe how many weeks have passed us by already - certainly time to get some news up on this blog!

Here we are recapping on some work from the end of P1, we have been making sure that we still know our number partners that make 10 - P2 have done this very well by playing some on-line games, using cubes and Numicon blocks.
Here we are working very hard.
