Play Pals

We made thank you cards for our friends.  'Thank you for being my friend'.

Year 2 had a go at writing instructions for a treasure hunt in the playground.  We gave our instructions to a friend and they followed the map to find the treasure.  Everybody found the treasure at the end!

Put yourself in order from the tallest to the shortest.

Who is the tallest? Who is the shortest?

Well done to Year 2 for taking part in the Spellathon challenge.  We learned 10 spellings and everybody got them correct.  Wow!

We made spider buns for a maths lesson.  Count 8 legs.  Count 2 eyes.

Castle Play Park

Year 2 walked to the Castle Play Park to investigate gravity and the forces of pushing and pulling.  We read a story called, 'Shark in the Park' and had a look through some telescopes to find the shark.

Verse Speaking competition 2019

Year 2 took part in the annual Verse Speaking competition, with judging by Much Ado Stage School professional Rois Kelly-Lynch.  Everybody did very well - remembering the words and having loud, clear voices.  Rois especially loved our smiling faces.  A special mention to Robin and Alex who were the winners of the Foundation Stage cup.

Christmas Dinner 2019

Our special

Christmas visitors

The Nathan Carter Band

What a treat we had on Friday 6th December.  Nathan Carter, Gareth Lowry and Nathans Nan called into Nursery to visit Abbie.  Year 2 were invited over to join in with some singing and clapping along as we were entertained by lovely Christmas songs.  We had a fabulous time as you can tell by the videos below.  Enjoy!

Thank you very much Nathan, Gareth and Nathans Nan. Call again soon!

Making toy cars

Year 2 had a go at constructing cars out of junk materials.  We used cardboard boxes, recycled milk bottle tops, straws and sticks to make a car with wheels that turn around.  Have a look at the results.  We should be employed with Lyons car garage in Castlederg!

Another special Christmas visitor....           Santa

Cancer Focus brought along Genevieve the Goat to remind us about how to keep healthy.  She told us to eat 5 a day and showed us what portion sizes looked like.  Thank you Genevieve - we'll try our best!
