Year 5 Titanic Ignite

By l hearn7th September 2017

On Wednesday Year 5 had our Titanic Ignite day. We all dressed up as first, second and third class passengers and were given a real person from Titanic so that we had a character to act as throughout the day. We really enjoyed having a Titanic style dinner in the afternoon with different food and entertainment depending on our class. While we were having our dinner, there was a sudden unexpected announcement that we had crashed into an iceberg!! We tried to evacuate quickly but found different obstacles in our way depending on our class and our gender! Luckily we all survived the iceberg crash but it helped us imagine how shocking and scary it would have been if we had been on the actual Titanic.

The final week in Year 2!

By l hearn1st July 2017

Wow! What a week to end Year 2! We have been really busy this week with it being Sport week, taking part in sports day, 2 trips to Hazard Alley and getting ready for Year 3! We have all really enjoyed being active and sharing learning across the school. Thank you for all the sponsorship money – we all really enjoyed completing the challenge and worked well as a team.

This week we have focused on understanding the importance of food and exercise in keeping healthy. On Thursday afternoon we got to share our learning with Year 5 by being their ‘personal trainers’. We taught them about healthy food choices and then gave them an exercise programme to follow. The Year 5’s were very shocked when they were asked to do 50 burpies!!

We also really enjoyed sharing out maths games on Friday. Everyone shared their games with people in the class and tried their best to win!

The Year 2 team have loved teaching and getting to know the Year 2’s this year and we wish them every success in Year 3!

Well done and thank you to everyone that took part!

 

Science Investigation

By l hearn8th June 2017

In 2B, we planned an investigation to explore the 3 primary colours and how they combine to form other colours. We took 5 beakers and filled up the 1st, 3rd and 5th beaker with a solution of the 3 primary colours. Inserted folded up paper towels linking all 5 beakers for the fluid to transfer into the empty beakers. This resulted in the primary colours combining to form new colours in the empty beakers.

The aim was to focus on making observations and discussing what may happen (predictions).

We recorded the findings in the form of pictures, video discussions and in our books in the form of diagrams.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working scientifically and were fully immersed into the lessons.
