Science Investigations!

 in Class Two / Science by

To start the year, Class 2 have been learning all about different materials in science. We have been exploring what objects are made from and thinking carefully about their properties.

Over the past two weeks, we have begun investigating the different properties of materials. Last week, we carried out an exciting experiment to find out which objects would sink and which would float!

Before testing each object, we made predictions and discussed our ideas. We talked about whether the material it was made from might affect what happened in the water. The children were fantastic at explaining their thinking and using scientific vocabulary.

Pencil pots

 in Class Two / Design and Technology by

Class 2 have been creating their very own pencil pots in DT this half term! The children explored structures and learned what makes them stable. We discussed the meaning of the word stable and investigated how shapes and bases help structures stay upright. The children then designed their own pencil pots, thinking carefully about how to make them strong and balanced, and experimented with wider bases to improve stability. It was wonderful to see them using their creativity alongside problem-solving and design skills. Here are some pictures of the process below.

Class 2 art

 in Art / Class Two by

Class 2 have been very busy using watercolours to draw buildings around our local area. We have observed shapes, lines and details carefully. Thank you to Sophie Martin who came and shared her expertise and her own artistic skills, the children loved seeing different pieces of artwork and mixing their own colours.

A Midwife Crisis!

 in Class One / Class Two / Music / RE by

This week, Class 1 and Class 2 took to the stage to perform their nativity, A Midwife Crisis — and they were absolutely brilliant!

The children sang, acted, and narrated with such confidence and enthusiasm. It was wonderful to see all their hard work come together, and they truly brought the story to life.

A huge thank you to all the parents and carers for coming along to support the performance, for providing such fantastic costumes, and for helping the children learn their lines at home. Your support makes such a difference, and we really appreciate it.

Class 2 went on a walk around the village as part of their geography this term. We focused on looking for human and physical features,  mapping skills and using a compass!

 

Woodland Wednesday

 in Class Two / Whole School by

Last week class 2 walked to the woods. We found lots of insects under our stools! We then created our own bonfires and sparklers recapping our learning all about Guy Fawkes.

Healthy wraps!

 in Class Two / Design and Technology by

Just before half term class 2 designed and made their very own healthy wrap.  We have learnt about the different food groups. Some of us were reluctant to try new foods but stepped outside of our comfort zone!
