Wild or Garden plant?
We have really enjoyed our Science topic on plants so far! Take a look at us exploring the school grounds for wild plants and garden plants. When we got back to the classroom we recorded our findings by drawing the plants we saw and labelling them.
Forest School Fun!
For our last Forest School session this academic year, we celebrated by enjoying a toasted marshmallow, more den building (this is our favourite activity), mud painting and chalking. The children truly do thrive in outdoor learning!
Moving Pictures!
We have explored using a mechanism to make a picture move. We made a lever using card and held it in place with a split pin pivot. I cannot wait for our end product!
Practise makes perfect!
This week during PE we have practised for our upcoming Sports Day! We have practised a sprint, sack races and an assault course.
Cress investigation

Dino Disco!
Today year 2 had a visit from CBSO Hybrid Orchestra who performed for the children. We learnt all about rhythm, tempo, pitch etc… At the end we had a dinosaur disco, great fun was had by all.
Australian Animals
Today in geography we have been looking at Australian animals and how they have adapted to their climate. Children used their iPads to find out lots fascinating facts.

Features of a letter
Today we looked at the features of a letter. We identified these features and year 2 standards used in a variety of different examples.
Tuna pasta salad
Today during DT we made our very own tuna pasta salad. We used the knives to chop the different ingredients carefully and safely. We then followed the instructions to mix them altogether. We had lots of fun doing this and our favourite bit was the taste test
Jack and the Mermaid Lagoon
This week we have planned to write an alternative version of Jack and the Beanstalk! The children thought of some great ideas. We have changed the Giant to a Mermaid and instead of a beanstalk, Jack will dive into a crystal, clear lagoon to the Mermaid’s castle!
