Happy New Year 

From Primary 2!

Welcome back to Term 3. 

Before we begin we thought you'd like to see a quick round up of some of the things we did at the end of Term 2.
            

We had fun choosing new books from the Library Bus.
       

We had lots of fun learning about money.

     

We enjoyed reading with our P7 paired readers.

   
We had fun investigating sound vibrations in Science lessons.

     

We wore our Christmas jumpers .......

 and had a visit from Olaf!!

    

We learned about 2D and 3D shapes and played lots of games.


We had a great Christmas Party. We played games, danced and had some snacks. A Special visitor came too!

Well that was last term what about this term?

Firstly we welcome Miss McGinty! She will be working with the class up until Easter, as part of her training.

We have already started our Scotland and Japan topic. We have been using atlases to locate Scotland and its major cities. We are going to be finding out more about Scottish art and culture.
Everyone is busy learning P2's Scottish poem - The Snawman, by J.K. Annand.
Three of us will take part in the competition on Thursday 24th January. 


On Monday 21st January we are going to a Celtic Connections concert. Letters have been sent out and it costs £1 for the bus. Please return the letter and money asap. Thanks.             





Later on we will be finding out all about Japan. We will learn
about major landmarks, Japanese words and numbers and about the art and culture of the country.







In Literacy we will be practising our phonics sounds and learning about verbs. Our Big Writing lessons will focus on Imaginative stories.
In Maths we will be finding ways to record information and make bar graphs, Venn diagrams and Carroll Diagrams. We will also be learning some times tables and about halves and quarters.



This term we will be taking part in STEM Technology lessons and be investigating balancing structures and paper strength.














Later on in the term we will be hearing the Easter story and finding out about the ways in which Christians celebrate it.
Wow! That's a lot of work.
We hope you all had a lovely holiday and that everyone has a fantastic 2019!
