Primary 2

Welcome to Primary 2

Hello, I am Mrs Smith and I am the

Primary 2 teacher at

Peterhead Central School.

Our main aim is for the children to feel safe, happy and confident. The children are encouraged and supported to learn through a variety of fun, practical activities while developing all the skills needed to help them become successful, confident, independent learners.

I am happy to chat at the end of the day, once I have dismissed all the children if you have any questions.

Week 5

Fairyland

The Troll is very sad. He thinks everyone is scared of him. We drew these pictures of him to cheer him up.

"The 3 Billy Goats Gruff"

Edinburgh Science Centre Visit

We were learning about

'Climate Change'.

Fairyland

Jack's Beanstalk has disappeared. The Dragon has asked us to plant 'magic beans' and grow him a new one!

"Jack and the Beanstalk"

We planted the 'magic beans' in clear pots initially so we could see the "roots" and "shoots" developing. Now we have transplanted them into compost.

Fairyland

The 'Friendly Dragon' asked us to help the Bad Queen from the "Snow White" story.

She had broken her magical mirror and could we make new ones for her. But they have to be

'Symmetrical'

"Mirror, mirror on the wall - who is the fairest one of all?"

We folded and cut shiny paper to make a 'symmetrical' frame and then decorated it with jewels being careful to keep the 'line of symmetry'.

Click below to see more photos of our beautiful 'symmetrical' frames.

Symmetry

We learned to make symmetrical pictures using tiles

We also used games on the 'Clevertouch' computer screen

We drew the other half of pictures - making sure they were symmetrical

And coloured butterflies using a symmetrical design

Fairyland

A 'Friendly Dragon' has been visiting our classroom leaving us fairytales to read and often challenges to help his fairytale friends.

"A Chair for Baby Bear"

The first Fairytale friend who needed our help was 'Baby Bear' from "Goldilocks and the 3 Bears". We had great fun working with our partners to build a new chair for him.

Money - we have been learning to recognise all the different coins and notes as well as using our maths strategies to count the value of sets of coins when playing shopping games.

Below is a copy of our Homework Grid for Term 3 (it has also been sent home, more information is in the pack). We would encourage the children to do their reading books and Sumdog regularly, every week. The other activities are suggestions you can pick one or two from each week, as you wish.
