Hello everyone!
We have had a fantastic first week here in all 3 classes in Primary 2! So far we have been showing some wonderful walking in the corridors, learning what it looks like, sounds like and feels like to be ‘Proud to be Pinkie’ and discussing what makes us unique.
We are very proud of our classes this week.
Just a wee reminder that if your child doesn’t have a PE bag or indoor shoes, please can these be provided, thank you!

This week P2A enjoyed spending some time in our school library. ‘We all picked books to look at and at the end Mrs Davidson read us a story, it was fun.’ – Michaela.
Have a good weekend!
We have lots of great play experiences in the classroom this week all designed/asked for by the children. We have:
Isabella says: I wanted to make a beach area in the classroom with sand, shells, pine cones. I put out 20 glasses for the children to make and I have designed my own umbrella and beach pictures for everyone. I loved making it and I can’t wait until everyone see’s it!
The children in P2A have input on what they would like in all areas of the classroom on a weekly basis.
Today we were continuing our dinosaur topic which includes the maths concept of measure. We measured out a T-Rex’s foot and drew it on paper. We then estimated to see how many of our shoes would fit inside one of the dinosaurs foot! You can see our estimates in the photos, some of us were very close! We had great fun and we couldn’t believe how big a T-Rex’s foot was.
In play, Tillie, Lucie and Steinar were measuring how big their cube tower was using rulers and meter sticks. We used a calculator and worked out that it was 360cm long!
We were also ordering numbers using a great game called ‘Coconut ordering’.

We hope that sports day will go ahead tomorrow and the rain will stay away! You will be contacted in the morning should we have to postpone it.
