We have had a busy few weeks in Primary 2 and some catching up to do with our Weekly reviews! This week was Road Safety Week across the school and you will have already seen the JRSO hard at work with their challenges.
Last week was Antibullying Week and we had a think about what we can do to help or deal with bullying. We thought again about good friendships and decided “Be kind, be happy, be nice” was a good way to prevent bullying in the first place.

We started to look at ways to keep fit in P.E. and have started doing a ‘daily mile’ walk almost every school day which allowed us to to practise what we know about Road Safety and to gather our resources for art.
We have had some good discussions around

This is Primary 2’s poster for Mary Seacole who was our focus for Black History Month. We worked to think about all the things Mary Seacole did in her life and why we remember her now and this is the compilation of our pictures that went into our information poster which is now out in the corridor on display with every other classes’ work. Well done everyone for working so hard!
