  • Science investigation with materials

    Published 30/06/22, by Admin

    Year 2 had a fantastic time investigating the properties of materials. After making predictions about which material would be the best for keeping our plastic teddies dry, we performed a fair test. We tested paper napkins, plastic bags, linen, fake fur and dishcloths. We recorded our results in a table and used our results to draw our conclusion, which was that plastic was waterproof and therefore the best material for the job!

    Published 29/06/22, by Nancy Okai

    Over the next couple of weeks, we will be using what we have learnt to design and make our own piece of clothing based on four categories: winter wear, summer wear, sportswear and party wear.

    In order to create these pieces please could each child bring a loose plain t-shirt that can be cut and transformed.

    Please could we also have donations of the following:

    - Fabric (this can be old clothing we can repurpose)

    - Sequins

    - Beads

    - Glitter

    - Ribbon/ rope

    Please could T-shirts and donations be in school on Friday 1st July.

    There will be a fashion show held in the hall on Thursday 14th July 2022 1:40pm – 2:10pm to showcase Year 2’s wonderful creations! If you would like to attend please notify Miss Okai, Miss Holloway or Mrs Mann.

  • Telling the Time

    Published 21/06/22, by Admin

    Over the last two weeks Year 2 have been learning to tell the time on an analogue clock. It has been challenging! We have been revising telling the time to o'clock and half past and learning to read quarter to, and quarter past. For extra challenge we have looked at telling the time for 5 minute intervals.

  • Poetry

    Published 21/06/22, by Admin

    Year 2 have been writing their own poems about a special item of clothing inspired by My Sari by Debjani Chaterjee. We have been focusing on the features of simile and alliteration to create powerful imagery.

    We have then looked at shape poems and begun to publish our writing into shape poems of our own, like the example in the picture.

    We'll blog these later in the week when they are finished.
