Our novel ‘Holes’ is set in Camp Green Lake. We discussed how a name might be able to give us a clue about a place. First we imagined what it might be like and then read the description in the book. Most of us imagined a very different place from the description in the novel!

This afternoon we worked with @4Denbeath to design and build a bridge. We had to work together to decide which materials and building techniques would be strongest.

Today we were learning how to give directions and use directional language. For an extra challenge the children created their own maps and asked their buddy to direct them to different places.

The children did some beautiful interpretations of Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’.

P6/7 and @denbeathp5_6 teamed up this afternoon to talk about children's rights. We heard some great discussions about 'needs' and 'wants'. There was some debate about how we ordered our needs and wants in terms of importance. @UNICEF #rightsandresponsibilites #teamwork

We have been learning how to take notes while watching Blue Planet. We were able to write down notes that we can later expand on in our writing.

The children have been working hard creating information leaflets about different aspects of oceans. They’ve used lots of different kinds of non-fiction books to help them.

Thank you very much. I am going to miss them. Looking forward to seeing them all next Wednesday starting p3!

What a great year Primary 2 have had! The children have worked so hard and achieved lots. It has been a pleasure to watch their progress. Thank you very much for all the lovely gifts and messages. Have a fantastic summer and a well deserved rest! ☀️

P2 have been drawing the inside of Willy Wonka’s factory. We had to listen to the names and descriptions of the different rooms.

We have been synergising to work out tricky maths problems. We are looking forward to showing you our work tomorrow at the open morning. #conceptualnumeracy

We’ve been learning about ancient Egyptian homes so some of the children decided to build one with our wooden blocks.

We have been designing and making Egyptian collars.

We’ve had a great time in our Wonka Sweet Shop today. The children have been working with money and weighing amounts.

We’ve been reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in class. The children have been listening to the descriptions of the characters and Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
