Finding all Possibilities

11th July 2018R Smith

Miss Robinson’s class did a ‘finding all possibilities’ maths challenge this morning! We were challenged to find all of the possible ways three coloured counters could be ordered. We were given the freedom to explore how we would work it out. Some of us drew pictures and some of us used symbols. Lots of us found systematic ways to find all of the possible combinations. We found out that there was 9 possible combinations of the three colours. We were then challenged to find all of the possible orders of 4 colours. We used a systematic approach and found out that there was 24 possibilities. We really enjoyed this challenge and some of us even went on to do the challenge using 5 colours in our own free time!

Arty science!

25th June 2018R Smith
Today Y2 continued our Science topic based on growing food that we can eat. We decided to combine Science with Art, and we looked at the work of the artist Arcimboldo, who creates portraits of people made entirely from fruits and vegetables. We used cress that we grew ourselves in class as well as tomatoes, grapes, peppers, oranges, apples, cucumber and carrots to make funny faces on slices of bread. The children were fantastic at trying different foods and had lots of fun creating a fun, healthy snack.

Can we grow our own salad?

20th June 2018R Smith

Year 2 have been focusing on the topic “Can we grow our own salad?” in Science, where we have learnt about food which comes from plants. We planted our own cress to enjoy cress sandwiches later in the week and thought about the things plants need to grow. Today we learnt about salad and enjoyed tasting bell peppers, cucumber, celery, sugar snap peas and tomatoes. We described their tastes and textures. We then found out why salad should be a regular part of our diet because it is so healthy. Did you know that a bell pepper contains more Vitamin C than a large orange? We found out that celery keeps our body hydrated and cucumber is good for your eyesight. Salad vegetables are packed with vitamins and nutrients which our bodies need to stay healthy. Class 5 had fun tasting the different salad items and are keen to include them more in their diets.

Year 2 Multi-skills Competition

19th June 2018R Smith
Y2 had a fantastic morning at the multi-skills competition. We worked in teams to get as many points as we could, completing activities such as shuttle runs, speed bounce, long jump and hoop throw. Unfortunately, none of our teams won the competition but we represented our school brilliantly with our sportsmanship and fantastic behaviour

Breaking News!

25th May 2018R Smith
Last week Class 5 watched a news report broadcast about the Titanic. The children asked if they could create their own news broadcasts about the sinking of the Titanic. We travelled back in time to April 15th 1912 and became broadcasters. We worked in pairs to produce a breaking news report, detailing the events of the Titanic.

The children loved delivering their report for the class and being recorded like real reporters. We worked so well in pairs and showed great team work. Well done, Class 5.

Fire! Fire!

21st May 2018R Smith

The fire brigade visited Y2 recently to talk about fire safety in the home. We learned all about potential hazards and how important it is to have a working fire alarm in our house. Julie taught us what to do if there is a fire.

Please everyone check your smoke alarm! If you do not have a working alarm, contact the fire brigade and they will come and install one for free!

Our homework projects

14th May 2018R Smith
Class 5 completed homework projects on our current history topic “Why did the Titanic sink?”. The children worked really hard and produced fantastic projects which are already proudly displayed on our wall. We would like to say a special well done to Alfie who went the extra mile and created a fantastic model of the sinking of the Titanic. We are all very impressed! Well done on working so hard at home Class 5.

Beetles and other creatures

4th May 2018R Smith

Cincopa WordPress plugin

Year 2 have been enjoying our new text ‘The Fox and the Star’. We read that the fox likes to forage for juicy beetles in the forest. We chatted about beetles and realised we weren’t too sure what they were, what they looked like or what they did. We asked the company ‘Bugsnstuff’ to come in and show us some exciting beetles. We were shown a range of different beetles including tiger beetles, flower beetles and even a dung beetle. Some of us were even lucky enough to see the dung beetle rolling a ball of dung! We learnt so many interesting facts about beetles and we will be using our new knowledge to write riddles about beetles in Literacy next week. We were also lucky enough to see and handle some other exciting nocturnal creatures such as stick insects, cockroaches, a millipede, a gecko and a snake!​

Why did the Titanic Sink?

25th April 2018R Smith
In History, Class 5 have been trying to answer the question: Why did the Titanic sink?
Today, we considered the differences between the experiences of First class and Third class passengers. We used a range of sources to help us such as menus, photographs, videos and entertainment lists. We couldn’t believe how different First Class was compared to Third Class. Did you know that Third class passengers had no entertainment provided by the RMS Titanic? We learnt that they made their own fun by playing card games and dancing. Next week we will be learning about the events leading upto the sinking on the Titanic and writing our own newspaper reports.



Year2

Master bakers

23rd April 2018R Smith

Y2 have used their measuring skills to bake some scones. We talked about the importance of eating healthily and how scones are a special treat. Before we made our scones, we all remembered to wash our hands to ensure that they were germ free (we all remembered what happened to our bread when we touched it with dirty hands!). We carefully measured the ingredients and then followed a recipe to bake the perfect scones!
