Mid-term break

Wow, we are at the mid-term break already!  Despite having a short week, Primary 2 have been super busy and squeezed in lots of activities.
We have been rounding off our Night Sky topic by having a space themed afternoon on Wednesday.  We ate astronaut food (freeze dried strawberries and mint choc chip ice cream), made space play dough (black play dough with lots of glitter) and cloud dough.  Cloud dough is reason many of the children went home looking like Smurfs!  We had not anticipated that much blue food colouring!

Our theme in R.M.E has been friendship and we have talked about times it is easy or hard to achieve this.  We made a 'friendship web' in class when children passed the ball of wool saying "It is easy to show friendship to you because...."
This was a lovely activity where children gave some really kind and thoughtful answers.  Everyone was smiling at the end after receiving such nice compliments.

Update on Term 3 so far

Primary 2 have been enjoying out new Health and Well being work.  It is called 'Jigsaw'.  This term has focused on working hard to achieve Dreams and Goals.  There has been a big focus on perseverance when work is challenging and working well with other people.  Here are some work we have completed so far.

The class have been very enthusiastic about our most recent project: Day and Night and The Night Sky.  Children have been sharing what they have found out at home and from reading our non fiction books in class.  We are looking forward to our assembly on Friday 10th February to show everyone some of what we've learned.

We have had quite a few exciting Show & Tells recently.  Here are some 'visitors' that have excited Primary 2.
