There were two birthday girls this month. Grace’s birthday was on the 14th May. She had a ‘Zumba’ party with some of the girls from the class. Grace is now six years old. Caitlin K was also six in May and got her ears pierced! I wrote a poem about when the wind blows. I wrote that when you are on the swings in the park the wind can blow you high up. - Caitlin T I did problem solving. I had to count in 2s and 3s to find the right answer. -Rachel I went to the beach in Newcastle with my nanny and Great Nanny.

She didn’t cry when the priest poured Holy Water on her head. We had a big cake and I brought some in for the class and the teachers to eat.-Grace Miss Kavanagh told us that we had to use our imagination for our literacy. I wrote a story about under the sea. It had a beginning, middle and an end.

Michelle is now six years old. Her birthday was on the 13th March. She had a party with her family. Kayleigh was also six during March. Kayleigh went ice skating with her family to celebrate her birthday. I stayed in the Culloden hotel for two nights with my family over the St. Patrick’s weekend. It was really good fun. It was a very fancy hotel and it is an old building.-Rachel I went on a leprecon hunt in Carlingford. I didn’t get to see one because I think that the leprecons were hiding on us. I want to go back again to look for them some other day.-Grace We liked doing Irish dancing in the hall. Everyone was happy and we had to wear something green because it was for St. Patrick’s day. -Jacqulin I read a story to one of the Primary Five girls on ‘World Book Day’. The story was called ‘Chicken Licken’. It was a very good book and I read it very well.-Fiona We read a story about a ‘Baby Grizzle’. He was a monster who likes to eat pizza. His mummy made him a pizza one day but he wouldn’t eat because her wanted red sauce on it. I love red sauce too. I drew the baby grizzle and put labels around my picture.-Grace I wrote about dolphins. Dolphins live in the water and they like to swim. -Oliwia I wrote lots of sentences about a big bad wolf. Sentences need capital letters at the start and full stops at the end and you have to sound out the words.-Caitlin T I made lots of words with paper squares.-Nellie
I wrote lots of sentences about the character of the big bad wolf. I drew a scary picture of the wolf and wrote a caption beside it which said ‘This is a fierce wolf’. Then I drew a speech bubble from the wolf and wrote in it. I put a smiley face on my work because I liked learning about the big bad wolf.-Ella I made a picture form fruit and vegetables. I used oranges for the eyes, bananas for the mouth. For the cheeks I used red tomatoes and for the ears I used apples. I made earrings from carrots. It was really good fun. I cut everything out very carefully.-Rachel Our new tpoic is fruit and vegetables. They are healthy for you to eat. We sorted healthy foods from unhealthy foods. I liked cutting and sticking all the different foods into my book.-Blaithin We made orange juice. You have to cut the oranges and then squeeze them and that makes orange juice. We had it for our snack.-Meida I made a shopping list on the computer. I wrote apples, oranges, potatoes and grapes.-Natalia We made stewed apples in the staff room. The apples were hard at the start and then Miss Kavanagh cut them and put them in a saucepan. She heated them up and the apple went soft. We all liked eating them for our snack.-Caitlin K I made 10p by using two 5ps. I found another way of making 10p. Five 2ps make 10p. I counted out money.-Natalia I did problem solving. I had to sort cards into questions cards and information cards. Our group had to find out who had the most money. I counted using coins. I put the answers into a table.-Grace We have been learning about half past. We used the clocks to put the big hand to six and the little hand to twelve. That makes half past twelve.-Michelle. We read ‘the Grumpalump I found words that rhymed. They are cat and sat and mole and roll.-Blaithin I can write words in the sand and on the small white boards.-Nellie I drew a picture of a hot air balloon. It was a heart shaped balloon. I put labels on my picture, I wrote ropes, burners and basket. I wish I had a hot air balloon for my mummy, my daddy, my nanny, my granda and I. Miss Kavanagh and Mrs McQuillan want to go up in a hot air balloon. We looked on google and there is a place in Belfast that takes you up in them.-Chloe I did good work in literacy. I wrote about a story called ‘A Dark, Dark Tale and ‘The Grumpalump’. They were different stories because they had different settings. -Caitlin T I like playing with the girls and I like Lexia and Nessy. -Oliwia I made a Valentine’s card. I wrote clues inside my card so that my mummy had to guess it was me. I drew a heart on the front of the card.-Rachel I love doing my writing in school. I drew some pictures and wrote lots of words to describe the pictures. My work was very good. I gave myself a happy face.-Jacqulin I went to the big library with Miss Vardy to read a book.-Kayleigh Q Our reading book was about feelings and we talked about, happy, sad, jealous and anxious. We know that anxious means worried and that we can talk to the adults in our class if we are worried.-Fiona We were weighing lots of things in our classroom on the weighing scales. We had to put the item in one pan and the cubes in the pan at the other side and count them. It was good fun. The Bee Bot was very heavy we had to use lots of cubes. The tape was very light and we used 5 cubes to get the scales to balance. -Grace When we weighed the Bee Bot we couldn’t fit all the cubes in the pan. We had to join the cubes in tens and lay them across the pan so that we could find the weight. We had to count in tens. It was still easy to weigh the Bee Bot.-Ella I weighed the scissors and the glue. The glue was heavier because the pan on the balance went down and the scissors went up.-Molly I like it when we make a human number line. Everyone gets a number and they have to find the right place to stand.-Meida You have to check that all the people are in the right order by counting them.-Natalia During Lent we are all going to be kind and friendly in school. We made our promises and Sister Mary gave us ashes on Ash Wednesday.-Caitlin K My birthday was in February, I went to the Fun House with some of the girls from the class. I am six now.-Caitlin T Blaithin was a very friendly girl and won the friendly award this month. Jacqulin was hardworking and Natalia was helpful. The forgiving award went to Meida.

I went on a plane and it was like a wobbly roller coaster.-Rachel Grace, Molly, Blaithin and Chloe all started gymnastics on Tuesday the 10th of January in Newry sports centre. Grace Says; “The girl is called Sinead and we go at half three. I get a bar before I go to give me energy”.
On Wednesday the 11th of January we went into Miss Keenan’s class to buy clay and glaze. We did this because we were going to make candle holders to sell to our family and friends and to the P4 girls to remember their first communion.-Blaithin In literacy we read the story of the gingerbread man. I wrote three pages.-Ella In numeracy we are using number lines to do lots of sums. I wrote my sums on a white board. You have to put a cube on the number line and move it backwards or forwards to help you get the answer. – Ella Happy birthday to Blaithin who was six on the 26th of January. The P2 team wish to congratulate the girls on their excellent behaviour down town. Thanks also to Mrs Keenan and Miss Harris for their assistance. Our Thanks to "Around A Pound" and "The Grotto" for making us feel so welcome.

We have a play book and every day the leader writes and draws in it.
