This week in science we tasted different foods including crusty bread, apples, grapes and sweets to see which teeth we used. We used scientific language to label each type of tooth and then made play doh models of the different types.

This week, in science, class 2 have created a model of the digestive system. They used a range of materials to recreate what happens to our food when it enters our body and then used scientific language to explain the process. A messy but fun way to kick of our new unit.

Today in maths we explored correspondence problems. We completed practical activities to calculate the maths behind combinations of snacks and drinks, gloves and hats or ice cream and toppings. Lots of maths and lots of fun!

Class 2 have worked hard consolidating their knowledge on Henry Matisse by creating their own French art designs inspired by him. They used the shapes and objects that he used in his collages and described their work in French.

We have enjoyed exploring our RE topic on Sikhism and have learnt all about the Gurdwara. This week we explored the sacred food Karah Prasad which is offered to all at the Gurdwara. We then made our own to taste test.

We really enjoyed applying our science knowledge to creating new musical instruments. We then investigated how the sound was made and how we could adjust the volume.

In science today we investigated how the amount of water effected the pitch and volume when tapping the glass. We measured the readings in decibels and calculated our averages. Lots of scientific skills shining through!

In French this week, Class 2 explored the story of the Chinese Zodiac. They then got creative to make springy snakes to celebrate the year of the snake.

This week in science our enquiry question was to discover the best way to create a sting cup phone. We tested different cups, materials of strings and lengths of strings to discover which made the clearest sounds. We used our knowledge of vibrations and how sound worked to adjust and measure the…

In Science today we investigated how sound works.

We used a range of resources to explore vibrations and how we can see, hear and feel them.
