Today in our Science lesson Year 2 have been exploring how solid materials can be changed.
The children made predictions before beginning their experiment.
They investigated whether the materials could be squashed, bent, twisted and stretched.
The children enjoyed seeing how some materials could be manipulated in different ways.
Some of the children were surprised to learn that certain materials could be squashed, bent, twisted and stretched.
Year 2 have been learning about Churches and looking at what you will find inside a Church. The children discussed the different activities go on inside a Church and created a poster to tell people all about the Church. Take a look at some of their learning.
This week, Year 2 have been learning about materials and their properties. After identifying some everyday materials, we went on a walk around the the school grounds. We looked at a variety of objects and identified what materials they were made from. After this we grouped objects by their physical properties.
Today in RE, Year 2 have been learning which places are special and why. We discussed places of worship and then went to the school gates to look at our local Church. The children continued their learning by discussing their own special places, drawing a picture of their special place and writing a sentence saying why it is special.
This week in PE, we have started learning dance skills linked to the Great Fire of London. We have been learning dance moves to show how the people would move around in Pudding Lane Bakery, carrying the heavy tray of freshly baked bread, kneading the bread and pushing and pulling movements to model pumping the water to put out the fire.
Over the past few weeks, Year 2 have been learning about healthy eating. We have discussed our likes and dislikes and decided which foods are healthy or unhealthy and where to look for nutritional information. We then designed and made our own healthy sandwich.
Year 2 have created their own Snowman decoration using a paper plate and various other materials. Their designs are fantastic and very unique. Well done!
Year 2 have enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner with their friends in the classroom. We pulled Christmas crackers, shared jokes and sang along to Christmas music too.
This week, we have been learning all about ‘Diversity’ and how we are all unique. The children have drawn around their hands and decorated them with red, yellow and green materials. They will be added to the work of Year 1 to create a rainbow and a message to say ‘We are all beautiful and unique but together we make a masterpiece’.
Today, we have explored the effects of exercise on our bodies. We made predictions about how we would feel after 3 and 5 minutes of exercise. Then, we exercised for 3 and 5 minutes, at different times throughout the afternoon to test our predictions. We found that exercise makes us feel out of breath, hot, sweaty and our hearts beat faster. We also discovered we feel happier when we exercise more and we feel more energetic.
