Red Noses and Marble Treat!

Hello from P2a...and this week we celebrated Red Nose Day and Marble Treat Day.  Not only that but we were also given the Golden Star of the Week for being the best class in the school!  Wow! 
So it came as no surprise that we rounded off our week with a celebration party when we dressed up in party clothes, pyjamas and red noses.  We had great fun! 

It started off in the morning when we all arrived with our red noses. 

    

   

   

            

While we were at Assembly a fairy must have visited our classroom because when we came back there were lots of balloons and party nibbles for us! 

    

In no time at all we were all in party mood and dancing to music. 

   

   

   

It was a super end to a very busy week.  We've been working very hard to get our Easter Play just right for next Friday's assembly.  We've learned songs and a dance but it's tricky putting it all together.  More practice this week so it's okay on the day! 

Also this week we have our Art Exhibition to look forward to.  It's on Tuesday and all of the artwork we did a few weeks ago will now be put into frames and entered into the exhibition for the school and parents to see.  We can't wait to see everybody's artwork! 

During the week we learned that it's St Patrick's Day on Sunday so we talked about the things we know about Ireland.  We learned that a lot of our great-grandparents may have come from Ireland over a 100 years ago and settled in Dundee.  Some of us knew about a wee magical person known as a leprechaun, who also comes from Ireland.  We listened to a poem about a Leprechaun who visits on the Eve of St Patrick's day.  He carries lots of gold with him, (which he hides at the end of a rainbow) and if he drops any on the ground apparently it turns to chocolate!  Wow!  So in art this week we decided to set a little trap for a leprechaun.  We made some fantastic leprechaun houses so that just if....a leprechaun visits our school at the weekend....and if he comes to peek at the little houses we made...well, maybe he might just drop some of his gold....and who knows what we might find in our classroom on Monday!   Here are some of the leprechaun traps we made. 

                                            

Hey...who's that sleeping in the middle???  We'll find out on Monday! 

Bye for now!
