Pirate ships

The children in room 5 were set the challenge to build a pirate ship as part of their homework. All the children worked really hard to create amazing ships. Everyone used different materials, some used LEGO, others used cardboard and papas and one even had edible sprinkles on it! The children really enjoyed talking about how they built their ships. We held a show case for the children of primary 2b to come along and see all of our amazing ships. They left post it notes with things they like for us to read. We then had the chance to go to room 6a to do the same.

                

Wow week

 fact Primary 2 have had an amazing time during WOW Week. We had lots of interesting and exciting people talk to us about their jobs.

Day 1. Primary 2 enjoyed a visit from the local police officers. They spoke to us about their jobs and brought their uniform and equipment with them.

Day 2. The children attended an assembly that told them about the role of young careers. All the children found this very interesting and we had an excellent discussion about what being a young carer meant.

Day 3. Braehead clan player Bari McKenzie joined us on Wednesday. He spoke about his career and brought all his equipment. We got to feel all of the pieces and decided they were all very light. We then dressed Mitchell up as an ice hockey player.

Day 4. A nurse came to visit today. We got to try on her uniform and try her stethoscope. We heard all about what she had to do in her job and how she helped to make people better.

Day 5. Today we were visited by a pilot and air hostess. We were very excited to hear about their jobs. The pilot flew a small plane for Logan air all around the UK. We asked her questions about where the planes could land and where they were kept at night. 

Lastly we had loads of fun with our active schools coordinator. We played Batman gig and a superhero game! We were all very tired after it. 

We had so much fun throughout WOW Week. A big thank you to Mrs O'Brien for organising it all.
