P2 have had a very exciting first week back!

To finish our dinosaur topic we learnt all about palaeontologists and we turned into palaeontologists for the afternoon! It was our job to carefully dig the chocolate chips out of the cookie without damaging the cookie or the chips. It was very tricky but we all managed to safely dig out the chocolate chips.

As part of Eco week, we had a visit from ‘Bag Girl’ who taught us how to fight junk monsters by reducing, reusing and recycling our waste. We also learnt a song that will remind us to take canvas bags with us when we go shopping.

In teams we had to sort rubbish into groups of metal, plastic or cardboard/paper.

We looked at old junk and shared our ideas of how we could reuse it. Some excellent ideas were to turn bubble wrap into a dress or use a kitchen roll tube as a golf club.

In maths we are learning to tell the time and are already super at reading ‘o’clock’ and ‘half past’ on analogue clocks.

As part of the ‘mile a day’ challenge we joined together with P2/3 to walk 1 mile around our playground. We had great fun getting fit!

Super Ted came back to class this week after his adventure home with Ayla and had a lovely new jumper! We think he looks very cute now.

As part of Eco Week P4 were set the task to work in home teams to design a sleeve that would prevent a bottle of water from cooling.

Pupils planned, selected appropriate materials and worked as a team to decide how to best wrap bottle.

Then they took the temperature of the bottle of water every ten minutes and recorded this.

We then shared results as a class and decided which material made the best sleeve and why.
