Class 2

Class 2 have had a wonderful first week settling into their new class and learning the new routines. There has been so much fun and learning already! We can’t wait to see where this year will take us.

Our RE topic this term is based around sacred places and pilgrimages for different religions. This week we looked at Jewish pilgrimages to the Western Wall. We explored the reasons S to why it was a special place and how Jewish people post their prayers into the wall to feel close to God. We then…

Key stage 1 have loved learning about Sir Isaac Newton. This week they investigated why we can see a rainbow when light passed through a prism and how rainbows are formed. They then had a go at making rainbows using a glass of water and a light source. Such a colourful lesson packed with great…

Key stage 1 had lots of fun completing an investigation all about gravity. They learnt what gravity was, who discovered it and then conducted investigations testing the effects of gravity on objects. So much fun and lots of learning! 
 

Class 2 have started their final art topic of the year - architecture. They have made mood boards combining their go rowing computing skills with their art skills and today they have used their mathematical knowledge of 3D shapes to help them draw 3D building outlines. 
Great work class…

Class 2 have had great fun creating sea creatures from recycled materials. They applied their learning  to create their final sculptures after planning them very carefully. Well done class 2!

Today we developed our classifying skills to sort rocks into venn diagrams based on our chosen rock properties. We used fantastic scientific language and great roach skills to share our thoughts.

Key stage 1 have enjoyed the start of their new science topic, Seasonal changes. In the first lesson they explored Autumn and the reason behind some trees loosing their leaves and the secret colours hiding within leaves. The second lesson focussed on Winter. Within this lesson the children…

We had lots of fun in science this afternoon. To kick off our rocks topic we began looking at properties of rocks. We then compared their properties to the characteristics of the chocolates we dissected using some fantastic scientific language.

We may have enjoyed a cheeky taste…

This afternoon we dissected a range of animal poos ( handmade with oats and cocoa powder so not at all smelly like their real counterparts).  We found evidence of their diet and used this to determine whether the animal was a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore. We then used this knowledge to predict…

Class 2 finished off their Romans topic by creating a staple Roman food - Spelt bread. They followed a traditional recipe making loaves in teams. We then finished the afternoon by exploring Roman diet and creating Roman menus.

Class 2 have learnt about the importance of fishing sustainably. They have looked at the harm overfishing can do to the environment and created posters to promote fish free Fridays. 
They have also made sandwiches using fish products that were sustainable sourced.
