In science we are learning about humans, this week we have been learning about body parts. Some children worked in groups to label each others body parts. 

Today we have done some excellent maths in Sealion class, we were given a variety of objects which we then had to sort in as many ways as we could. We were able to sort the objects by colour, shape, size and catergory. 

Today during our coding topic in computing we debugged different programmes to help the chimp. We then created our own programme applying our skills we have learnt this topic. 

Today we had lots of fun exploring materials. We investigated which material would be best for protect Humpty from falling off the wall.

We have really enjoyed our Science topic on plants so far! Take a look at us exploring the school grounds for wild plants and garden plants. When we got back to the classroom we recorded our findings by drawing the plants we saw and labelling them. 

For our last Forest School session this academic year, we celebrated by enjoying a toasted marshmallow, more den building (this is our favourite activity), mud painting and chalking. The children truly do thrive in outdoor learning! 

We have explored using a mechanism to make a picture move. We made a lever using card and held it in place with a split pin pivot. I cannot wait for our end product!

This week during PE we have practised for our upcoming Sports Day! We have practised a sprint, sack races and an assault course. 

Today we set up an investigation to see in which conditions the cress seeds would grow best. We wrote a list of equipment and made our predictions before planting the cress seeds. We decided to choose four different conditions. We will observe them next week to see what has happened. 

Today year 2 had a visit from CBSO Hybrid Orchestra who performed for the children. We learnt all about rhythm, tempo, pitch etc… At the end we had a dinosaur disco, great fun was had by all. 

Today in geography we have been looking at Australian animals and how they have adapted to their climate. Children used their iPads to find out lots fascinating facts. 

Today in DT we’ve used our chipping skills to create our very own fruit salad. It was delicious!
