Well done to our learning gem winners! 🤩 These children showed excellent creativity, independence, concentration, cooperation, perseverance, reflective skills or were adventurous. We also had a reading raffle for those who had read over the Easter holidays and a maths raffle for those who consistently complete their maths homework.
Who will win next term? 😄 Today in Science we began our lesson with a game of Articulate! The children loved trying to describe and guess one of our key vocabulary words linked to materials and their properties. We then discussed the invention of the tyre by Dunlop. After that, we completed an experiment exploring how far a ball would bounce off a wall when rolled down the ramp. We had to ensure we kept the ramp the same height to keep the experiment fair.
Well done Year 2!
In Science we continued to explore the suitability of materials for different purposes. We designed sleeping bags for Humpty Dumpty. The children could choose from a range of materials. They had to first predict which material would be the most suitable and why. The children then tested our sleeping bags with Humpty Dumpty inside. We discussed the need for a control group (egg with no sleeping bag). We also ensured we dropped the eggs from a consistent height so used the picnic table as a guide.
Well done Year 2 great use of the learning gems:
In Science we went on a materials walk to name different objects and discuss their properties. The children created labelled diagrams and some were able to explain why the material was suitable for the object. Well done Year 2 great use of the learning gems:
In English we are beginning our new topic about owls. We have thought of a question that we would like to ask an owl, using a question mark to punctuate our sentences.
