Maths games

In our maths time we play games and 
do lots of activities to help us 
think about numbers and maths topics in different ways. 
To help us think about place value and the order of numbers, 
we did 100 square jigsaws. 
The children worked together to think about where numbers 
would go and how the pieces would slot together.

Past Times topic

Our topic this term is Past Times. As an introduction to this, the Primary 2 Bumblebees sorted a selection of toys and made a pile old toys and a pile of new toys. We discussed how we knew the old toys were from long ago and compared them to the toys we get nowadays.

Busy Bee Bake Sale

On Thursday the 10th October we held our 'Sponsor a Bee' bake sale. All members of the primary 2 classes were busy bees and lent a hand, either helping to set out the baking or helping to sell it. All the cakes looked absolutely delicious and helped us to raise £98.80 so far. Thank you all for your kind donations of baking and spending money!

Save the Bees!!

To help raise awareness of the importance of bumblebees and how to help protect them, both primary 2 classes worked together to prepare and present a 'Save the Bees' assembly. Everybody did very well and spoke using loud, clear voices so the whole school could hear them. They were very good at doing the actions for the songs too!

Doodlebugs

Given the name of our Primary 2 classes, ladybirds and bumblebees, we decided to continue the theme and hold a bake sale to raise money to sponsor bees. This helps to encourage all young people to look after the environment and the people and animals within it. All of the primary 2 children helped to make some doodlebugs to sell at our bake sale.

Floating and Sinking

In class we have been reading Katie Morag 

and the Tiresome Ted. Tiresome Ted was thrown into

 the sea but was found again because he floated. We tested some things in class to see if they would float or sink.

Katie Morag Delivers the Mail

We were very lucky to get to do some drama based on our topic. The Primary 2 classes helped Katie Morag deliver the mail. We went on a visit to Grannie Island's house and even got to go in her tractor.
