It was sweet week and we made chocolate truffles. We had to get our hands messy this week to roll the ingredients into balls. It was hard not to eat some as we were cooking 🧑🍳 as it was very tasty 😋
Lots of skills were used making our truffles, smashing, scooping, mixing, rolling and sharing.
We had a great start to cooking club, this week was savoury week and we made pizza rolls .
Everyone followed the instructions well to make a delicious treat. We had to spread, fold, sprinkle, and baste our rolls before putting them in the oven to cook.
We all worked very well collaboratively.
Grace – I shared my pizza at home.
Ellis – my big brother ate it!
Jack – it was yummy.
Mya – I ate it all, it was tasty.
Theodor – I loved mine.
It’s sweet week! We made chocolate filled croissants 🥐.
We had had to use cutting skills for today’s cooking 🧑🍳 we cut the pastry into triangles and then rolled our chocolate 🍫 in the pastry 🥐. We had to paint them with milk before we cooked them.
A adult had to put them in the oven and set the timer. We could smell them cooking, they smelled delicious.
It was savoury week in cooking club and everyone had voted to make pizza 🍕
We had to spread the sauce on then add the cheese 🧀 and toppings. After all the toppings were on we had to put them in the oven, only adults are allowed to use the cooker but we set the timer.⏱️
While the pizzas 🍕 were cooking we cleaned up all our tools. Some of us wanted to eat them straight away and some wanted to take them home.
Over the last 2 weeks, as part of a whole school topic, P2 have been learning all about recycling. ♻️
We started our topic by having a pupil voice planning session as to what we would like to learn and what we already knew. We read through our story book and made a list in our floor book.
We learned about the different coloured bins, what goes in each bin, why it is important that we separate it and where each the rubbish goes. We created our own bins by reusing cardboard boxes, painting them different colours and labelling them. We then used these for a full week to practise separating our rubbish. We spoke about trying to do this at home too and encouraging our family to recycle.
When discussing recycled paper, we created our own paper!
We spoke about the benefits of compost and separating food waste. We identified the food waste bin in our own school and other settings. We then created our own compost. We spoke about how compost has nutrients from the food and how we can grow flowers in our compost. We then wrote a procedure piece on how to grow a flower.
As part of our targets this term, as a class, we aimed to develop our research skills. We researched save the earth posters and information after talking about clean energy. We spoke about solar panels and types of energy alongside how to recycle batteries.
We spoke about donating and upcycling clothes and other items. We spoke about how someone may have a use or a need for something you might not need anymore. We also spoke about reusable bags and the policy in place to encourage use of biodegradable products.
We ended our topic by creating recycling monsters. We gave our monsters bins for arms and legs, our own made paper for hair, a reusable bag for clothes and a recycling symbol on our the clothes.
We finished off our money topic by finalising our understanding of ‘change’ through our very own shop! We made 50p in different ways, using different coins and purchased our sweeties, working out the change we should receive. Everyone did brilliantly! 🍬
As part of our recycling topic, we created our own bins and compost. We learned what the different colours means and why it is important to separate our rubbish. We also have been using our compost bin in the dining hall! ♻️
We, of course, we had our trip to Mill Farm! We had an amazing day exploring the parks and saying hi to all the animals! It was such a lovely day altogether ☀️🐖🐑🌳
