Painting
Class 2 have started their final art unit of the year, painting. Today they explored painting primary colours and mixing to make secondary colours with watercolours. A super start to the topic.
Creating bionic hands in science
What a fantastic Science lesson today. Last week we learned all about the human hand and how it works, including how many bones were in the hand and applied this to our design. Today we had chance to create and test our designs. Then we carried out some different tests to evaluate the…
Science enrichment and fun!
Class 2 were invited to Drayton Manor to trial their science enrichment on Forces and electricity. We had lots of fun learning about motors and magnets and then seeing them in action in the theme park. We were even treated to a few goes on the rides! What a fabulous day we had.
Mass and measures in maths
Lots of problem solving in maths today. We used the balance scales to help us visualise our mastery problem and balance the scales to calculate missing mass.
What fantastic maths!
Developing our sketching skills
The children have been working very hard on developing their sketching skills over the past half term. Today they picked a view of our beautiful school to sketch. They worked very hard to include sketching techniques whilst focusing on proportion. Our next lesson will be their showcase piece of…
Creating branching databases
Class 2 have continued their learning about branching databases by applying their knowledge of yes and no questions, attributes and grouping to enable them to create branching databases on the Chromebooks. They then swapped computers to test each other’s databases. Great work everyone!

Why do we need skeletons?
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…
Investigating switches in science
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.
Bringing our learning to life
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.
Coding champions
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.

Improving our style
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.

Conductors and insulators testing
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.
