P2 explored symmetry further this week by going outside to make symmetrical pictures using natural items. Our class mini topic is ‘Autumn,’ so we used conkers, leaves and cones collected by the class to make our creations, just in time before the rain started.

As part of our Under the Sea topic we have been discussing and investigating pollution of our seas and oceans. As well as that, we have been discussing the effects of single use plastic and why it is important to recycle and reuse. 

Our task this week was to sort and organise a variety of items into different recycling bins. We worked hard to share jobs such as cutting and organising, as well as listening to our peers and their suggestions. How do you recycle at home? 

P2 enjoyed building on their ball skills this week practising rolling, bouncing, throwing and catching.  They have also had the opportunity to work in teams for rely races using different ways of travelling such as running, jumping and skipping.

Primary Two have been trying very hard to play nicely with their peers.

This morning, we had a great time enjoying a variety of activities in the classroom. Everyone was having a wonderful Friday morning!

P2 have been enjoying learning a variety of new playground games with Ricky, our Active Schools co-ordinator, every Thursday. We have been practising these games during our Tuesday PE lesson and we are going to use these games in the playground during snack and lunch, so that our playtime is safe and fun! 

Here are some pictures to show you what P2 have been learning in their Under the Sea topic this term so far!

We made some jiggly jellyfish using paper plates and bubble wrap.  We also used bubble wrap to create bumpy prints on starfish and tissue paper to create colourful fish.

We have talked about many ways to stay safe at the beach and made posters to warn others.

Next week, we will be learning about the difference between sharks and whales!

We have been focusing on 2D and 3D shape in maths this term. This week we worked with a partner to make a 3D structure using blue tack and lollipop sticks. As you can see from the pictures, we were very successful and managed to make a square based pyramid!
