Art – Framing

We have been learning about ways of displaying work.

“We’re making frames out of cardboard. We were allowed to stick anything we wanted on our frames like pasta and bottle tops.” Charlie
“We had to make patterns. The corners are the same.” Eddy

Maths – Money

In this shop, pupils added dot card ‘money’ together to purchase Lego!

“I was getting to buy a tower Lego. I was taking the money and giving it to Colin.” Yasmine

In this shop, pupils had to select the correct coin to buy items.

“I’m being a shop keeper. They buyed food with money.” Aiden
“I’m asking for a chicken leg. It costs £2 and so I paid with a £2 coin” Mustapha

Lola created a poster all about her birthday party. She likes taking photos and having her photo taken. She can take photos on her camera, tablet and phones!

“You spoke very bravely” Mirabelle
“I like the pictures of your key chains when you’re smiling” Aiden
“How many photos are there?” Loai, “11 pictures!”
“You spoke very confidently” Olivia
“I like your pictures” Eddy
“I like the photo that has been edited” Charlie

Gymnastics

P2 are learning the 4 parts of gymnastics; Rolling, travelling, balancing and jumping.

To learn a forward roll, we have been using a slope. It is very important to tuck our head in when we roll, as not to hurt our neck.
We also have to reach forward to help us stand up. Practising rocking to sit, and rocking to stand are ways you can get stronger at home

Using the climbing frame helps build our core strength. Playing in playparks and climbing frames are super for building our muscles, which in turn helps us when we sit and write at a desk!

Eddy told us all about Bath Bombs

Eddy wrote instructions, created a poster and asked his family to film him creating them (sharing the video on a QR code), and then showed us his products in class!

“I like the colour of your bath bomb” Olivia
“I like your pictures” Lola
“How did you make the bath [in the poster]?” Charlie
“I like the video” Mohamed
“I enjoyed the video” Mirabelle
“I enjoyed the video” Ediomo

Ediomo told us all about Nigeria

Ediomo and his mum created some posters. We loved hearing the facts, especially about the coat of arms and flag!

“I like the picture of the flag” Lola
“I like ow he was so independent speaking to us” Mustapha
“I like everything” Charlie
“You were very brave” Mirabelle
“Thank you for teaching us about Nigeria” Mohamed

Updated Dates

The pupils requested Show and Tell as it provides them with an opportunity to share something they are passionate about or have been learning about at home. We have loved hearing a wide variety of facts and topics which we wouldn’t usually cover in P2.
Pupils should do as much as they can on their own e.g. writing/drawing, however may need help if creating a video etc.
Please let staff know if you would like any support for your child’s Show and Tell.

Colin and Miss Copeland and all of Primary 2 would like to thank Aiden and Charlie for kicking off our Show and Tell series so well!

Charlie told us all about The Beatles!

We had some supportive pupil feedback
“Thank you for reading” Ediomo
“I like your talk” Mohamed
“I like your poster” Loai
“I like your costume” Lola
“I like your pictures” Aiden
“I like your music” Yasmine

Aiden educated us all about the Hydra!

“I like all of it” Eddy
“I like the detail in the eyes” Mohamed
“I like everything” Mirabelle
“I like the three heads” Charlie
“I like your hyrdra” Mustapha
“I like your picture, Aiden” Olivia

Timetable

Topics could include but are not limited to; rainbows/scouts, famous footballers, dinosaurs, periods of history, historic events, countries, sports medals, famous person, family member’s life events, religions/festivals, origami – anything that they are really interested in and could talk about for more than 2 minutes and up to 5 minutes.
They could show a poster with pictures they could talk through, bring in objects to show or read a book/comic book that they have made themselves. We are looking for lots of facts, how to do something or stories.

We very much do not want pupils to bring in toys. We would like pupils to share something that they are interested in and share that information/learning with their peers.
Adult support at home will be necessary however we would like pictures and writing to be the pupils own work. Pupils are also allowed to create a video/movie at home which can then be shared as part of their show and tell e.g. videos of the pupil skateboarding, performing ballet or playing shinty.

We hope this will give pupils a voice and opportunity to share something they feel very passionate about! Any questions, please ask!
