Last week Beech Class had a lovely morning at Pizza Express making Pizzas.

Once they had washed their hands and put on the aprons and hats, the children were shown all of the ingredients needed to make a pizza base including milk, flour, oil, salt, yeast and water. They then shaped their pizza dough into the baking trays then laid the tomato sauce on top. After sprinkling cheese on top of the tomato sauce the pizzas were put into the oven.

As it was a beautiful sunny day, the children enjoyed eating the pizzas in the park.

We had great fun this morning making a drink for Geoffrey the Giraffe (we have been reading his story in our Literacy lessons).

First we got a cup and put our name on it. Then we went outside and looked for different ingredients to put into the drink because Geoffrey doesn’t like water. We found grass, leaves, flowers, berries and sticks. Mrs O’Brien brought  some herbs into school and we added a pinch of these too.  We added some water and then stirred it with the stirring stick!

Look at our lovely cocktails….

During Art Week Year 2 showed their creative side. We explored different artists such as Monet, Rousseau and Munch and had a go at sketching landscapes. We practised still life drawing of animals and capturing different views of a still life display. Sticking with our topic of Places People Go, we collaged a jungle scene using bits and pieces of natural materials we found outside. We also created African masks and splatter painted the outline of  Africa.
