Tag Rugby

P2/3 have really enjoyed their 4 week block of tag rugby. Everyone thought it was great fun playing outside and getting very muddy! 

They worked on improving their passing and receiving skills,  dodging and working in a team.

Investigating the Rainforest

P2/3 have had their detective hats on and have been busy investigating the 4 layers of the rainforest. They have also been learning about the huge variety of animals that live in each layer. 

We were very lucky to have a special visitor who came in to share their experience of trekking through a rainforest in Peru. We had lots of questions  to ask and were extremely excited we got to meet an adventurer! 

Pen Pals

We had a very excited class on Thursday when our new Pen Pal letters arrived in the post. We have teamed up with a P2/3 class from the Isle of Lewis and will get to know our new friends over the next few months whilst developing our letter writing skills. 

Term 3!

January is almost at an end and P2/3 have been very busy this month. Here are a few things we have been doing in class.

We have been investigating what objects and materials are conductors and insulators of electricity. We all had great fun testing a huge variety of objects found in the classroom. By the end of the lesson the boys and girls were able to successfully predict if they thought the object would conduct or insulate electricity.

As part of the Road Safety week the class conducted a survey to find out how they all traveled to school. They then used the information they gathered to make a pictograph. 

We joined our reading buddies from P3/4S to share our Library Bag Designs that are being submitted into the Kirkwall Library for their competition at the end of this month.

 Keep your fingers crossed for us! 

P3 have been weighing objects and learning to use grams and kilograms.

Term 2 Catch Up!

Children in Need 2014. Sensational Superheros P2/3! 

The class went on an electricity hunt around the school to see if they could find at least 4 things that used electricity. The boys and girls were very good at this and came back with lots of suggestions. 

P2/3 used Duplo models to show off their estimating and measuring skills. 

The class had great fun learning how to make circuits. They even helped to give Rudolph his shiny nose just in time for Christmas! 

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their Christmas dinner and the surprise pudding was a great treat!
