Year 2
Time
Survival Day
We had an exciting morning today taking part in team challenges, we had so much fun.
Science - Making Seed Bombs
In Science we have been learning about plants. Today we have been talking about pollination and the different ways that plants can be pollinated. We have made some seed bombs so that we can eventually put them in the school grounds and they can grow into wildflowers which will attract bees. This will help with pollination.
Programming
Today in Computers we created our own Bee Bot map. We decided on a theme for the map. For example a playground or the beach. We then drew pictures on some of the squares. After we had done that we challenged each other to move from one place on the map to the other. We used commands such as forwards, backwards, left and right.
DT - Completing a running stitch
Our DT unit this half term is a textile unit. By the end of the unit we hope to design and make our own pouch. We learned how to do a running stitch. We threaded the needle, practised the running stitch and tried to tie a knot. Great work, Year 2.
History - The Stone Age
Today, in our History lesson, we learned about our human ancestors being 'nomadic.'
We discovered that this was because they needed to travel around to gather and hunt for food. We sorted images into things that they would 'gather' and things that they would 'hunt.'
Sports Day
Year 2 had a wonderful morning for Sports Day...the sun was even shining! The children took part in a carousel of activities including the sprint and egg and spoon race, long jump, throwing, sack race and an obstacle course. A great and full-of-fun morning. Great work, Year 2!
Attendance Awards
A huge well done to our attendance superstars! These children have achieved 100% attendance for autumn/spring term...or even both! Well done boys and girls. We are very proud of you. Keep it up!
DT - Food Preparation
Our DT topic this half term is 'How do you make a healthy wrap?'
Today we learned different ways to prepare foods. We had a go at grating, chopping and snipping foods. Afterwards, we tasted a selection of foods that we will use in our wraps next week.
Library Visit
Today we visited Leam Lane library. We were very excited because we had not been for quite a long time. We loved looking at the books and then deciding which books to choose.
History - Why should we remember Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole?
In our History lessons we have been investigating 'Why should we remember Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole?
Today we learned more information about Mary Seacole. We became 'History detectives' as we looked around the classroom at sources of evidence. Our job was to match the correct source to the statements on our sheets. We all did a great job!
