All the children in Year 2 have been learning Irish Dancing as part of their P.E. curriculum.
Some children from Y2B demonstrated their new skills during whole school assembly.
This half term Year Two have been leaning all about Mexico. We have learned lots of facts and compared Mexico with South Shields.
In Art we even made paper mache masks and decorated them.
Today we have tasted Mexican foods such as sour cream dip, tomato salsa and Guacamole along with Doritos and Taco shells. We enjoyed the sour cream dip, the Salsa, the Doritos. We didn’t really enjoy guacamole as it tasted like vegetables!
Since the beginning of the Autumn term we have had Ian McKone, a ukulele teacher from the Sage Gateshead, come into our class every Wednesday to teach us how to play the Ukuleles.
