Class 2

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.

Year 1 and 2 had great fun classifying animals. They brought in a stuffed animal from home and began by thinking about the animals characteristics of their animal. They then learnt about the different groups that animals belong to and sorted them into groups. Year 2 had an extra challenge to sort…

Class 2 have been learning to import sounds and have started to plan their podcast ready to share with the school next week. They can’t wait! 
 

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.

Class 2 have enjoyed their PE unit focusing on health related fitness. They have completed a fitness test each week trying to beat their previous score. Great work getting your pulse rates higher children. We even finished off with a little meditation. 
 

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.

Today class 2 explored blending and smudging with pastels. They then applied their skill to a picture of a lighthouse. Great messy work everyone!

In science this week our enquiry question was, “Where is the best place to dry our washing?”

The children applied their knowledge of evaporation to plan a fair test investigation.

Where do you think our washing dried the quickest - outside, the radiator, in the cupboard or on the…

In history we discussed why the Roman’s wanted to invaded. We then discussed reasons for and against and set up a conscience alley drama in the hall. We then had to debate with each other trying to persuade the emperor to side with us.

The for side won and learnt that Emperor Claudius did in…

Class 2 have started their Spring art unit of work working with pastels.  Today they have explored blocking techniques and used these to creating the missing part of a seaside image.
