Term 3 update

Primary 2 have been very busy this term.  Our literacy and topic work has been based around the Scottish Children's Book Awards.  We have been looking closely at what an author and illustrator does and have been voting for our favourite stories.
Spelling so far this term has focused on learning the long vowel sounds made when you add a magic e.  Along with this we have been learning to type!  The class have really enjoyed using the BBC typing dance mat - you may have been asked to use this at home.

The first part of this term has focused on learning about tens and units in maths.  We have also been learning  the various ways to represent a number - tally marks, pictures, digits, words and tens and units.  


Our other exciting event was having a cosmic classroom! We did a live link up with the International Space Station and saw Tim Peake doing science experiments in space.
Here we are with our 'Mission Patches' on.
