P2 Engineers

P2 were engineers for the day and designed and constructed their own broomstick with room for all the characters from their Halloween class book ‘Room on a Broom’.

“Mine has five seats and gates, so nobody falls off.”- Mette

“My broomstick has a led blower to make it a little bit quicker and an engine and two wings at both of the sides and five seats”- David

“My broomstick has two floors and it has the fastest engine in the world.” -Amir

“My broomstick has a flag on it and it has a control room to fly it. And a storage box for food if they fly for a long time and get hungry.”- Elliot

“Mine is super thick and can never break.”- Dylan

P2 Learning about Day & Night

Primary 2 Have been learning about Day and Night

We learnt about the Sun, it is a star. It shines on the Moon and it reflects the light for us to see.

We see the Sun in the day and the Moon at night. 

The Earth takes one day to spin around.  The Moon takes a whole month to go around the Earth.

The Earth takes one whole year to travel around the Sun.

We learnt how we get day and night. The Earth spins around so the Sun lights up one half that is daytime, and the other half is dark it is night time there. Then it spins around and swaps. When it is day in Scotland it is night in Hong Kong. The Sun is in the middle and all the planets go around it.

All the things we did today were fun, it was fun and interesting.

P2’s Visit from Marty the Robot

Today Primary 2 had an exciting visit from Tanya from Robotical, the company who make Marty the Robot.  We learned a little bit about the different robots we might encounter in our lives and then we also learned how robots are programmed. We even got a chance to try programming each other!

While we were practising programming a classmate, Tanya led small group workshops. In the workshops we all got a chance to learn how to programme Marty and even to make him dance.

We all hope that Marty visits us again soon.  Huge thanks to Tanya for a fantastic workshop!

P2a Can Do the Robot Dance

This morning as part of our ‘Wake Up Shake Up’ Primary 2a started to learn how to dance the Learning Station’s Dancing Robots dance.  Our current topic is robots and we love to dance so this was a perfect way to wake up our bodies and brains!

Both Primary 2 classes are collecting small and medium sized boxes so that we can build a giant robot. We would appreciate any donations of boxes next week. Many thanks in advance for your support!
