Class 2

Today we had a fantastic PE session delivered by Ethan from Tamworth Football club. It was a fantastic opportunity for our children and we know he was impressed with our developing skills. We can’t wait to go to The Lamb in a few weeks!

This week in science we applied our knowledge of changing states to create our own ice cream. Method and recipe coming soon.

Class 2 have been working hard debugging codes and creating codes to write letters. It took resilience and metacognition to be successful. Well done everyone!

Our next stop around the world was India. We caught the steamship over then travelled by train through the Indian jungle. We even rode on an elephant! Where will our journey take us next?

This week we completed a great investigation focusing on melting points. We looked at how adding heat could change something from a solid to a liquid. Which do you think melted quickest the jelly or the chocolate?

In English this term our focus text is Around the World in 80 days. This morning we attempted the same journey as Mr Fogg. We boarded our train in London and visited several countries across Europe taking in the sites, sounds and smells from our train window. Next stop, India.

This week in science we have furthered our understanding of states of matter through some exciting investigations. 
Why don’t you try one at home, pop some raisins in a glass of lemonade and see what happens.

Over the holidays the children were given an optional task of creating shadow puppets based on their learning from their science unit on light. This week we have watched all of the shadow puppet plays, it was fantastic to see all of the hard work that went into these. Well done! What a creative…

Year 3 and 4 have been investigating materials and using their comparison skills to determine whether they were solids, liquids or gasses. They then grouped the materials into vent diagrams looking at whether some materials could be categorised as both.

Year 1 and 2 children have been learning about animals and their habitats. One of our children very kindly brought in his hedgehog! This really helped bring our learning to life as we spoke about where a hedgehog would usually be found, why alit lived there, how it would be adapted to live there…

In Science this week our investigation centred around identifying the best material to make curtains. We used our lux metres to measure how much light each material allowed through and then used the results to inform our decisions. We then evaluated how we would tweak our investigation next time.

Class 2 are busy starting their final projects in DT.  Today they drew their design onto their canvas and started to paint. We can’t wait to see their designs come to life!
