Science - Bristol Botanical Gardens

 Science - Botanical Garden educational visit

As part of our science topic, learning about plants. We visited Bristol Botanical Gardens. We learnt so much about different tropical and indigenous plants and had lots of our questions answered by the knowledgeable guides.

French week

During French week we looked Louis Braille, the inventor of modern day braille system, which visually impaired people use today. 

We used  blank braille sheets to write our messages and used Playdoh to make them raised so we could feel them.

Wow day. The Gigantic Turnip!

Today Year 1 and Year 2 had a fun morning exploring our new text, The Gigantic Turnip! We planted seeds, made soups and ate it and created our own puppet shows of the story. The soup was delicious and everybody was impressed with their culinary skills.

Hello everyone,

So sorry that we will miss our last day of term together. Here is some home learning that you can do today. 

Maths - Continue looking at triangles. 

Task 1: Here is the picture that we looked at today. Have another look. How many triangles can you see?

Task 2: Draw your own triangle like this, using a ruler. How many triangles can you spot in your picture?

Task 3: Go triangle hunting! How many triangles can you find in your house?

English: 

Have a go at writing your own explanation text. What could you explain?

How a dishwasher works? How a computer works? You could make up a silly version, like we have been learning in class. Or you could find out how something actually works.

Making helmets for eggs

In our Science lessons we have been thinking about our bodies and how to protect them. We have designed a helmet for an egg. We have thought about the best way to protect it from breaking and what materials might be best for this. Only one group managed not to break their egg at all!

Christmas Play

Well done, Year 2 for an absolutely fabulous Christmas play! The singing, acting and dancing was incredible and you all worked so hard. I am very proud.

 

Trip to Weston -super Mare

This term Year 2 have been learning about the seaside in our Topic lessons. To help the pupils find out more we went on an exciting school trip to Weston-super Mare. Despite the rain and wind we all had an amazing time; paddling in the sea, building sandcastles and enjoying some ice lollies!

Term 1

In our Geography lessons we have been looking at using maps and compass directions. We created our own weather forecasts and presented them in front of the class.
