What a lot of fantastic learning going on in P2.2! The trip to the Science Centre looked very interesting and I can see from the photographs you were learning lots of new things about friction and had lots of fun at the optical illusions!

I loved hearing the class talk about Happy Snappy visiting the class. Well done for using the Easi-Speak and uploading to the blog, a great skill to be learning in P2. It was good to see that you know how to brush your teeth, making sure you brush in circles.

Google Expeditions looked fantastic and I agree with Andrew, the shark looked really real!

Happy New Year!

We had a visit from Google Expedition. We got taken on an underwater safari!

“We saw a Great White and divers inside a cage so the sharks didn’t eat them.” Natasha

“We held onto the phone and moved it around to see sea animals.” Josh

“I liked when the shark came on and it looked real.” Andrew

Today we  had a visit from Happy Snappy the toothbrushing crocodile.

He was delighted to see that we are brushing our teeth everyday in school.
