World Book Day

To help us celebrate World Book Day, the children in the Early Stages are being encouraged to tell us about their favourite books. On Thursday 7th March the boys and girls in Primary 1 to 3 can, if they wish, bring in a copy of their favourite book or can draw a picture of/tell us about their favourite characters/events in a story/non-fiction book. We will, as always, have lots of books in our class libraries for the children to read also.

Many thanks for your support with this.

Primary 2 make South Queensferry

Primary 2PY have been working hard over the last couple of weeks to create the buildings we want and need in South Queensferry out of junk.

Today they put their junk models together to create the whole town. Primary 2 were very proud of their work and have taken it home for them to keep.

 

P2P/Y Librarian visit

Today Primary 2 had a visit from the librarian at Queensferry Library. We have found out about Nicola’s role in the library as well as telling us how to take a book home.

P2HM’s Visit to Dynamic Earth

P2HM loved their trip to Dynamic Earth today. We found out all sorts of things about the weather. Take a look at some of our learning.

We found out that hot air rises. This is why we get wind and rain.

We used tornado bottles to find out what a real tornado looks like. We saw that the bottom of a tornado is much faster than the top.

We found out that lightening is electric.

We found out what electricity does to metal objects with air inside them.

P2 Parent’s plan

P2 Tricky Words

We are trying very hard to learn to read and write our tricky words.

They are tricky  because

• there are sounds that you hear but you don’t use to spell them
• there are sounds you can’t hear but that you have to remember to write down

These are the new tricky words we are learning this term:

eight, learn, money, people, four, again, write, great, move, school, before, because, story, does, done

Here is a list of the all tricky words we have learned since primary 1. We are trying hard to spell these words correctly when we are writing stories.
