Year 2 Science

Over the time we have been back the children have been looking closely at animals. We have been learning about life cycles, habitats and food chains. To support the children to reflect on their practical learning and encourage them to continue this in their independent time we are creating class 'big books'.

A super week of learning and exploration Jessica, well done!

The Year 1 Team

Year 1- Week 5 Learning

 

Week 5 Learning in Year 1

Maths

This week we have been exploring capacity again. The children worked in pairs to order the bottles from empty to full. They compared the bottles and spoke about which bottles had more or less liquid and the order they should go in. The different shaped containers cased quite a debate!

Next week we will be focusing on place value, numbers under 50. For this we will be using dienes and the part-whole model.

Literacy

The children are super excited to find a snail for our class pet. We have spoken about how we need to be responsible pet owners and find out about what we need to to do to provide a good habitat.  The children really enjoyed researching snails through books and videos and recording their new knowledge. 

Snail Facts Video

Where are you snails? 

Are you on the path? Or by the tree? 

Are the snails underground?

Next week we will be reading 'Snail and the Whale'. Snail and the Whale animation

Science

This week we have been looking at seeds! The children were super excited to plant their seeds and see what would grow. We discussed as a class what plants needed to grow. The children spoke about water, sunlight, oxygen and soil. 

The children were given a range of resources to choose from, including; soil, cotton wool, pots, sandwich bags and water. They children made their own choice about what they wanted to use to grow their seeds. After they planted their seed, they chose whether they wanted to put it by the window for sunlight or in the cupboard for darkness.

Next week we will be be looking at the changes in the environment in spring time.

Outside

We have been making vehicles in the wood work.

We have LOVED digging for worms and looking after our plants. 

We have had a great time creating a thrown fit for a King or Queen in our loose parts area.

And making a place where we can relax and have a catch up with our friends. 

Have a great weekend everyone! 

Year 2 Geography

 We have looked at features of our school environment and discussed whether they are human or physical. The children looked closely at our outdoor area and created maps to represent the most important features. They even created keys to show what each shape represented. We think they are fantastic Geographers!

"This is the large sandpit, it's near Pine class" Eddie

"This is the science area where we are going plants. Look it's behind the reading shed." Ryan 

Year 2 Red Nose Day

 Red Nose Day In Year 2!

Year 2 had a great day raising money for Comic Relief! The children loved coming to school in their colourful outfits. We spent some time in the morning writing and performing jokes. We had our friends and teachers in stitches! Here a few examples;

Darci

'What animal needs to wear a wig?'... A bald eagle.

Macie

'How did the two oceans great each other?'... With a wave. 

A fantastic day filled with lots of laughter for a great cause!

Year 2 Habitat Dioramas

 In Science, we have been looking at habitats. This week in Art, we applied all the things we have learnt about habitats to create dioramas.

The children worked in teams to turn an ordinary cardboard box into a jungle, ocean or woodland habitat. They thought about the features of the habitat they were making and found resources to to start getting creative! The children showed great reciprocity skills in listening to each others ideas and assisting each other in building trees, vines and coasts! There were lots of discussions around the types of animals that would live in each habitat and the reasons why they suit their habitat so well.

Welcome back Year One

The children really enjoyed seeing each other again and the party continued in Year One as children used their independent time to create characters and invitations. A fantastic opportunity for children to practice their sounds and letter formation independently!

Literacy 

This week the children were invited to think of ideas for a class pet, the children shared ideas such as a dog, kitten, kangaroo and a rabbit. The children thought of ideas and found worms outside and created a safe home and play area for them. The children added leaves for the worms to eat and covered them with sticks to keep them safe. They were very excited to learn we would be searching for snails to keep as a class pet!

Maths

The children completed an assessment in Maths this week answering 20 questions including arithmetic and problem solving questions.

Science

The children took part in a Science Walk this week looking at deciduous and evergreen trees in the outdoor environment. The excitement continued as the children carried out science experiments.

The children have had a brilliant time playing in the outdoor area. They have been testing and balancing different weight, building structures and using team work to create obstacle courses and restaurants.

Oh Deer!

There was real wonder and surprise when the children spotted some deer across the road from the School!

It was a fantastic week of learning and just being back together again has been wonderful.

Have a great weekend.

Ayaan independently found worms in the outside area and encouraged other children to find worms and they added soil and leaves for the worms to eat. Well done Ayaan for sharing your ideas and encouraging other children to join in.
