Class 2

Our enquiry question in science this week was ‘Why do humans need skeletons?’. We used a rubber glove and straws to look at why our bodies need support. We then labelled the bones in our body by post it noting our partners and completing a skeleton relay in pairs. Some great practical…

Today we combined our science and DT skills to create our own switches. We were able to use these to control different components. We then evaluated our designs looking for what went well and where we could improve.

Today Class 2 were lucky enough to have Mr Keen come in to talk to them about being an electrician. He really helped us to bring our science and design and technology learning to life. Thank you for giving up your time Mr Keen. 
 

Class 2 are becoming coding champions. Today’s challenge was to make 3 sprites play different sounds, move or change costumes and change the backdrop! Quite a challenge! The children chose their own challenge level based on how confident they felt. Great leaders of your learning class 2.

Every Monday begins with a focused handwriting session in class 2. We learn a join and then try hard to apply this, and the others that we have already focused on, in any writing that we do. Keep up the good work class 2 and there will soon be more pen licenses given out.

Fantastic work in science this afternoon investigating whether materials were conductors or insulators. We recorded results and used these to explain the science behind our findings. Ask us at home which materials are conducting.

Today in science we were making predictions about circuits.

We had to use our prior knowledge to predict what would happen if we added an additional bulb to the circuit. We then used this knowledge to make predictions about other circuits.

What a fantastic day at Tamworth Castle.

We became archaeologists for the morning and uncovered artefacts. We had to determine what time period they were from and what they might have been used for.

Then in the afternoon, we acted in role as the different Saxon leaders discovering how the…

Congratulations to our children who took part in the Tamworth Primary Schools indoor athletics event at Rawlett recently.  They all took part in a number of running, jumping and throwing events to collect as many points as possible. Miss Jennings’s and I were really impressed with their athletic…

Wow! I am so proud of our Class 2 dodgeball team.

We played brilliantly and worked so well as team.

Some great skills were shown and great sportsmanship!

Well done!

Class 2 have started their new Science topic, electricity. They have looked at the scientific skills of identifying, grouping and classifying, plus recording data.  Well done everyone for a great start to the topic!

We ended our Geography topic with a bang by creating our own exploding volcano!
