P2 TOPIC TUESDAY

Good morning P2! 😊

I hope you all enjoyed working in the pizza parlour yesterday and learning all about fractions!

I can see lots of you have used Education City - you are doing brilliantly. Well done! 

I am working in the hub today with team Markinch so I will be quiet over on Seesaw. I will try to check in for any messages at a few points throughout the day and will catch up with you all properly on Wednesday!

TOPIC TUESDAY

Today we are continuing our lighthouse topic. Some of the things you asked to learn about were:
  • When does the lighthouse keeper know to turn the light on?
  • Why do lighthouses have a light?
  • How does the lighthouse light work?

  • Why do they have fog horns?
So today we are going to learn about electricity – as all lighthouses are now powered by electricity!
