This P2 made this lovely picture to celebrate Eid on Wednesday. Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating ☪️

This P2 has been collecting bottles & other recyclable materials at home. He created this brilliant train using them & brought it in to show the class. Amazing upcycling! 😀👏🏻 ♻️🚂

Our P2 ladybirds have arrived! We didn't recognise them as they're still tiny black larvae. P2 have observed throughout the week. Luckily their home has a microscope top to look through as they're so small🐞 We learned about the ladybird lifecycle & created our own ladybirds too #DunipaceScience

Our caterpillars were all in their chrysalis stage last week. We carefully moved them into their pop up net. P2 were interested to see what was left in the cup once they'd moved out! We filled in the our caterpillar diary too. We can't wait to see them emerge as butterflies 🐛🦋 #DunipaceScience

We learned more about different food groups using the Eatwell Plate. We know food gives us energy & helps our body to grow & be strong. We played games to sort foods into the 5 main food groups. Then we planned our own healthy lunchboxes 🍓🍌🫐🍉🥕🍇🍞🧀🍚🥙 #DunipaceHWB #DunipaceHealthWeek

P2 had a brilliant Health Week of learning 👟👟🎶 On Thursday we had a brilliant time doing some more circuit exercises. Then we had some bouncy fun on the inflatable 😀#DunipaceHWB #DunipaceHealthWeek

P2 had a brilliant Health Week of learning 👟👟🏉 Here we are doing our workout on the circuits. We tried the different activities & used the stopwatch on iPads to time each other doing each activity. Thanks mrsguidori.bsky.social for setting it up 😀 #DunipaceHWB #DunipaceHealthWeek

P2 had a brilliant Health Week of learning 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🥚🥄🎭 Monday was a practice for sports day. We had a go at sprinting, egg & spoon & skipping. What positive mindsets P2 have trying new things 👍🏻👍🏻Then we watched the brilliant Secret Garden show by M&M Theatre. We loved it!😀 #DunipaceHWB #DunipaceHealthWeek

P2 expanded their recycling in class. We now have paper, plastic & soft plastic recycling 😀 This means we can reduce waste that goes in the bin & reuse or recycle it ♻️ We collected lots this week, ready for Mrs S to recycle at home/the supermarket. Some P2s used some recycling to make crafts📦📄🖌️🎨

We celebrated World Bee Day on Wednesday 🐝 We found out more about why bees matter and what we can do to help. We learned about the lifecycle of a bee & some amazing facts about bees. Then we planted some pollinator wildflower seeds & made some bee crafts 🌸🌼🪻🐝 #DunipaceScience #WorldBeeDay

We've been learning about the importance of plants & trees for our planet 🌿🌳 We planted sunflower seeds, found a sunny spot & have watered them each day. We're excited to see shoots & leaves growing already. Next week we'll take them home & can watch them grow into sunflowers 🌻 #DunipaceScience

P2 loved sharing their learning with their families & trying some activities linked to our learning about sustainability. There was lots of planting & recycling challenges. Also classroom tours to show our caterpillars, worms, plants & learning walls. Thank you for coming 😀 #DunipaceLearning

P2 had a great time on our Community Gardening Day. They worked hard to sieve soil, remove stones & old roots from the planting beds.A big thanks to the adults who came to help us too 👏🏻 Our garden looks so much better now & ready for our schools next plans. 🪏🌱🪻🌸🌿 🪏 #DunipaceOutdoors

We created a wormery in our class 🪱 We added layers of compost & coloured sand to the container. The sand helps us to observe the worms burrowing & mixing the layers. We moistened the soil & added leaves & banana peel for them to enjoy. We make sure the cover is on to keep it dark🪱🌿 #DunipaceScience

P2 were excited when our caterpillars arrived last week. We found them a good spot in our classroom & have learned about the different stages we'll see. We have started filling in our caterpillar diaries to record the changes we see each day #DunipaceScience 🐛🦋

This P2 did her own litter pick near the end of playtime. What a responsible pupil ⭐👏🏻 Oops, a few people forgot to use our school bins or pop their litter in their pocket until they were near a bin 🚮♻️🌎🌳 #DunipaceUNCRC Article 6

Here is some of the litter we collected on our litter pick. We couldn't see much litter at first but we filled a bin bag full in just 1 hour! We looked at some of the different materials we found & discussed what could be recycled or could've been reused 🌎🌳 #DunipaceUNCRC Article 6

On Earth Day we wanted to make a difference to our school environment by going on a litter pick. We didn't think we would find much litter but we found lots, especially caught on the fences. P2 enjoyed doing one Mr Roche our janitors jobs for the afternoon 🌎🌳 #DunipaceUNCRC Article6

We thought of ways to Reduce, Reuse & Recycle to help the environment & our planet. We found signs to encourage us to use less water & electricity at school. Recycling a cardboard box & reusing it to create a shop with craft materials was a brilliant idea too 🌎🌳💦💡⚡🥪♻️🥫 #DunipaceUNCRC Article 6

We read 2 stories on Earth Day & shared ways we could help our planet🌎 Next we discussed questions linked to Global Goal 15 Life on Land. We drew & wrote how we can protect Life on Land. As one P2 said "Nature makes the World Strong!!!" So let's protect it 🌎🌳 #DunipaceUNCRC Article 6
