Today we had a very special visit from Sarah and her owls. We were able to use our knowledge of owls to answer questions and we found out many more interesting facts. Did you know that not all owls are nocturnal? Sarah told us this is a myth as only a quarter of owls are nocturnal, the rest are diurnal!
Ask us when we get home about the other interesting facts we learnt!
Year 2 have become bat experts! Yesterday we read lots of different facts and watched video clips to find out as much as possible about bats! Did you know that bats aren’t actually blind? They can see almost as well as humans! We were very shocked by this fact!
It was great to see so many parents come in on Tuesday afternoon. We all had a great time making decorations with you!
Have a fantastic 2 weeks off!
Here are some photos from the afternoon…
To ignite the whole school tree project, year 2 went on a fact hunt around the playground to find out about the baobab tree. They worked hard in teams to find their facts the fastest and crack the code. Well done Year 2!
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.”
Year two’s bake sale was a great success. Thank you to everyone who donated cakes and to those who purchased them as well.
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!
