Let’s Get Planting!

This week, the children started their new topic: Seeds of Wonder. In science, they revisited what was important for a plant to grow and survive. The children also had the opportunity to plant a bean! This linked nicely with their writing text based on Jack and the Beanstalk.

Happy Easter!

This week was a busy one with children excited about the Easter break. They completed their art work of an Owl and a Pussycat and constructed an Easter basket. They also attended an Easter service on Tuesday where they had the opportunity to listen to Reverend Dave and sing some lovely songs.

Algorithms

This week, the pupils were engaged in creating algorithms (instructions) as part of their computing lessons. They used Beebots to test out the accuracy of their instructions by getting the robot to travel from one place to another.

Science Week

It has been a very busy week! This week was science week and the theme was curiosity: what’s your question? The pupils had a visit from Miss Hanley’s friend who uses science in her role as a nurse. The children participated in a science investigation about infections and the importance of washing your hands. The children had a special visit from some feathery creatures which linked nicely to our topic: Healthy Living Things.

Spring Term 2 Week 1

It was wonderful to welcome the pupils back after half term. The week has been a busy one! The children have been continuing multiplication in mathematics and revisiting odd and even numbers to help their understanding of the two times tables. The children have started exploring what animals need to survive. They ended the week with a ukulele workshop which they thoroughly enjoyed.

Science – Everyday Materials

This week, the children have been exploring everyday materials in science. They participated in an experiment to see which materials bent, stretched, squashed or twisted. They showed great collaboration and oracy skills. The children also enjoyed some outdoor learning which was also linked to science. They gathered some outdoor materials e.g.stones, sticks, soil and leaves and used them to create a potion. Luckily they didn’t have to taste it!

Arts Fortnight – week 2

This week was an exciting one for the pupils. They were finishing their planning and writing their stories ready to present to their families. They also practised their dance with Mrs Fox and finished creating models of two new islands which had human and physical features with Mrs Housam. They also developed their culinary skills with Mrs Elliot in the cafe. Extra help was also provided by support staff including Mrs Howard, Mrs Sanchez, Ms Munoz Del Valle, Miss Wahid (trainee) and Miss Flint. The children showcased their work and they should be extremely proud of everything they have achieved. They also had a special treat in the morning of entering a space dome which linked to this term’s Lunar Landing topic. A fantastic eventful day for class 2H!
