P2 Toy Museum!

What a fantastic day! We had so much fun showing our mums and dads some of the things we have been learning about in our Toys topic. Our Jack in the Boxes were a great hit, and well done to all the mums and dads who joined in our hobby horse races. We had great fun making them but even more fun racing with them. All the boys and girls were great tour guides, explaining all the different activities and things we had learnt about. Thank you to all the parents who came to visit our class and well done to all the boys and girls for all their hard work.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween from Primary 2!! We were so excited because it was Halloween today. We thought it was very funny that Mrs. Baxter , Mrs. Robson and Ms. McKenzie all dressed up like witches. We wrote Halloween stories about a silly ghost in the morning and in the afternoon we had lots of Halloween activities. We made spiders using hand prints and paint, we coloured some spooky pictures and we played puzzles on the smart board. What a fun day!!!
