P2 have been learning about Diwali this week. They enjoyed making ladoo which is a traditional Diwali sweet. Our phonics focus this week has been ‘ur’ as in purple, and ‘ir’ as in twirl and our tricky word was her. In numeracy we have been exploring 2D shape. The children have made shape pictures and have been describing the properties of 2D shapes. P2 enjoyed another music session with Dave, this week they were playing lots of different percussion instruments to accompany his story. We have made a start on our enterprise crafts for the school Christmas fair. The children wanted to sew again and they have all picked the decorations they want to make. Some are building on skills they learned last year and some are learning new skills, they have made a great start! Today we had a farewell party for Roshan. We will all miss you Roshan, best wishes to you and your family in your new home and school!
