This week year 2 have been writing about the Lantern Festival. Here are sections from a few children’s writing:
“I felt excited because I saw fireworks.”
“It was dark at the festival and we had to achieve, work hard and do well.”
“I was nervous performing in front of the parents.”
“I felt happy because it was an amazing night.”
Please could you take the time to complete this questionnaire to inform our research into reading at Brooklands Farm.
Thank you!
We had an amazing morning making chocolate lollies, trying different chocolate and finding out how chocolate is made! We even got to smell proper cocoa beans! Here are some photos of us making and trying chocolate!
Class 2b are very excited to start learning about chocolate with the chocolatier! We found out that she has tasted chocolate with garlic and bacon flavours – we all pulled a strange face at this! Photos will be posted when we find out more!!!
Here are photos of our new chocolate classroom! We were really excited to show our learning to our parents this morning!
Today we have spent lots of time converting our classroom into the ‘journey of chocolate’. We were creating a jungle area to show where cocoa beans are from. We then created a vending machine and a chocolate shop to show where we get chocolate from! We used lots of materials and had lots of fun creating our new classroom!!
Here are some photos from our day…
We have now tested our material covered paper boats to see if they were waterproof! We found that the wooden boats had holes in them so they weren’t waterproof! Some of the plastic covered boats were waterproof and ALL of the tin foil boats were waterproof! We worked as a team and cheered on each of the groups that had been successful in creating a waterproof boat! We have all really grown our understanding of materials!
Well done class 2b!
On Wednesday Class 2b followed origami instructions to create a paper boat! We then chose a material to cover it in to make the boats waterproof. The choices were tin foil, plastic or wooden sticks. We can’t wait to test our boats!
