Christmas Craft Afternoon

Just a reminder about our Christmas Craft Afternoon on Monday.  We will be making snowflakes, paperchains, santas and Snow Globes.  Feel free to pop in during the afternoon!

Investigating Materials

This week we have been doing some investigating in Primary 2.  As part of our materials project we investigated how the Three Little Pigs made their houses and which was the best material to build out of.  Fortunately, we didn’t need a wolf as we used Miss Stockan’s hairdryer instead! 

We found out that bricks were the best material for building with as the sticks and the straw blew down and blew away!

 

It was great fun!  Here are some photos of us building and investigating!

Children In Need

Last week we organised some fundraising in the school for Children In Need.  On Friday afternoon all the classes got to go to the different activities and we think they really enjoyed them!  Here are some pictures!

It was a great afternoon and best of all we managed to raise £440.50!  We had already raised £150 by selling Pudsey Bands so we raised £590.50 in total!  Well Done Stromness Primary School!

Our Assembly

Last week we had our assembly all about Children In Need.  We worked really hard all week to prepare - we wrote all our own lines and made our own props and posters!  It was great fun and the audience really enjoyed our performance!

Active Maths

We have been trying to keep our maths as active as we can in P2 as we think it is a good way to learn!  Here are some photos of us at the beginning of term working on ordering numbers using whiteboards.  We even did some tricky challenges with big numbers!

Children In Need

Just a reminder that this Friday is Children In Need Day!  Don't forget to wear your pyjamas!  There will also be a sleepover with Mr Taylor in the Hall, Penny Pudsey, Mini Fair and Baking in Primary 5!  P2 are really looking forward to raising money for Children In Need.  We will are also busy learning the 'Jump Up and Dance' routine.  If you want to learn it at home follow the link below!
