X Factor 2011

Room 10 are enjoying X Factor so far this year and as part of our Numeracy Across the Curriculum we voted for who we thought was going to win in the final! We used tally marks to vote for two acts each and then compiled this information into bar graphs with a partner. As Miss Lochhead was so impressed with our hard work, we decided to make an interactive bar graph on the internet. We then used this to read the information we had collated. Have a look below at our finished bar graph and see if you can answer these questions: 1. Who did the class think was going to win the X Factor? 2. Who got the least amount of votes? 3. Who was second favourite to win? 4. How many votes separated Marcus and Craig? Good luck! Leave a comment below if you think you got them correct.

Science - Forces

We have been learning about forces in Science. These have included pushing and pulling, floating and sinking and we are still to look at magnetism. We had lots of fun predicting what items we thought we float and which ones would sink! Most of us got our predictions correct! We recorded our results so we could compare our results and discuss our findings with the whole class. Adam was so excited about the experiment that he brought in his own Science book and taught the class how to float a marble at Golden Time! He was definitely an effective contributor that week! Well done Adam!

Drama

We have been exploring the drama 'The Giant who Threw Tantrums' which we all absolutely loved! In the story there is a giant who lives at the top of Thistle Mountain who is having a tantrum! We were pretending to be in Thistle Mountain and were in role as the villagers! We had to think of ways to catch the giant to stop him from knocking down any more trees in the village! Miss Lochhead was also in role and when she wore her special scarf we knew she was either the Major, the Giantologist or.... even the Giant! We had lots of fun pretending to meet the Giant and asked him lots of questions and realised that he was really only a lonely and sad old Giant with toothache!

St Mirren Trip

Yesterday P2/3 travelled to St Mirren Football Stadium with the other Primary 2 classes for a fun filled day of football! There were lots of different schools from Renfrewshire at the tournament that we got the chance to play against. We started the day playing mini games which we all absoloutely loved, especially when some famous St Mirren stars helped us out! We then got a chance to do some skills traning with some coaches from St Mirren and tested out our stamina! Finally, the most exciting part of the day, we were taken for a trip round the stadium where we got to sit in the team's changing room and have a look at all their fantastic trophies. Everyonhe had a great day.
