Hi there, I’m Mrs Dougall and I teach Enquiry Based Learning across Primaries 2 – 4 during the class teacher’s Non Class Contact time. We have started the year with lots of getting to know you activities and have been learning about the Meta Skills, Feeling, Leading, Integrity and Initiative.

This week was all about Initiative and I have been so impressed with the different ways that P2A used their initiative to solve problems.

We will continue with our Meta Skills learning for another week and then move on to our first Enquiry of the year – watch this space for more information!

Welcome to our Spanish cafe!

This week we learned about different Spanish foods. We made menus for our cafe. On Friday we got to try lots of the foods!

The blue cheese was so good!

We liked the crisps and salsa.

The olives were really yummy.

The lime was so sour!

I liked the yummy limes.

The tortilla omelette was so yummy.

The oranges were sweet and juicy.

The salsa is good with the crisps.

I loved the olives!

It was good to dip the bread into the olive oil.

This week we used the Kapla to build and create Spanish buildings.

The Kapla was challenging at times, especially when we had it on a table top and the got bumped!

We needed to create an animal first to investigate how to make different shapes with the Kapla.

Take a look at our creations!

This week we were looking at things that were symmetrical. That means that it is exactly the same on both sides. We investigated with mirrors while moving around the room.
