Welcome back P2!  It has been a busy first week.  We thoroughly enjoyed rounding it off with our Halloween party today.  There were plenty of superheroes, villains, werewolves and princesses in class.   Some we couldn’t even recognise!  Have a great weekend.

This week we have enjoyed working with Mr Elliott on our Building the Thinking Classroom Project.  We are learning how to organise ourselves into groups, allocate roles, share our theories and work as a team to solve problems. We are loving it!

We have enjoyed some maths play to further enhance our understanding of the number system.

We celebrated mass today with Father Marcin and received many compliments about our fabulous singing.

Have a wonderful October break.

What a very messy afternoon we had at cooking club today!

We melted chocolate and made chocolate covered apples and bananas and decorated them with sprinkles 🍫 🍎 🍌 it was lots of fun and very messy! Once we decorated our apples and bananas we then got to dip marshmallows into the melted chocolate 🍫 it was very yummy and sticky.

Some of us ate all our goodies but some of us have them in the fridge to take home tomorrow.

We are looking forward to the next block of cooking club already 😀

Thank you so much to all of the grown ups who joined us today for writing.  We hope you enjoyed our morning dance, reading our stories and playing our literacy games.

The tooth fairy is picking up quite a lot of business in this class just now!  Have a great weekend.

This week we made cheese and ham toasties with salad 🥗 and a hot chocolate ☕️.

It has been a short week but a busy one.  We continued to use the whole part model in mats to display our calculations and demonstrated how to complete the whole part model using the number line strategy.

We continued to learn about the kindness of Jesus by listening to the story of the loaves and fish.

Today, we thoroughly enjoyed our free writing session as we described adventures we’d had, places we were going, achievements we had accomplished and fantastic stories we had made up.  Thank you to Lucas who collected some photographs for us.

A big well done to Jax, Lucas, Jude and Joseph this week. Jax earned our Leader in Me award this week for working very hard each day to achieve his targets.  Lucas is our reader of the week after shouting out common words with ease in our daily practise.  Jude earned multiple awards at his Ninja class.  Joseph learned how to ride a bike all by himself and then rode it to school!  There’s no stopping P2!  Have a great weekend.

It was sweet week in cooking club and we made chocolate croissants 🥐.

We had to cut the pastry 🥐 into triangles, roll our chocolate inside the pastry. We then glazed them with milk before we put them in the oven to cook.

Lots of skills were used while making them.

We then had to wait for then to cool before we could taste them.

This week was savoury week at cooking club 🧑‍🍳

We are all getting very good at following the cooking safety rules.

We had to spread the tomato sauce over our tortilla wrap, we then sprinkled cheese 🧀 and then the toppings 😋 after that we had to cook them in the oven.

Once they were out the oven we go to eat them together in class.

This week in P2 , we have been upping our maths game by introducing the whole part model.  We explored how one number is made up of two other numbers.

Elsewhere, we celebrated Mother Teresa on her special day, 5th September . We listened to her life story, created our own Mother Teresa portraits and discussed ways in which we could spread the same kindness.

See you next week!

The first week of cooking club was a huge success, this was sweet week 😋

We made iced biscuits 🍪 we had to follow the instructions to make sure our biscuits turned out the way we wanted them to.

We used lots of skills, mixing, spreading, measuring and had lots of fun  🤩.
