WB 2.6.25
This week, the children returned for their last half term in year 2 and what a great week it was!
In science, we are conducting yet another plant experiment - to see which plant grows the best given their conditions. The children have all made predictions and are excited to see what happens over the coming weeks. We have also begun our new Desing and Technology unit which focuses on food. The children will be learning how to make scones for an upcoming Cream Tea event. This week they enjoyed tasting both plain and fruit scones and a range of dried fruits to inspire them when they come to design their very own scones. We also had our 'PTA sponsored walk' event where the children walked a minimum of 10 laps around our field to raise money. Luckily, the sun was shining and we had a fabulous time. The ice lollies at the end were an added bonus!
In maths, the children have begun learning about position and direction and have spent lots of time learning outside the classsroom practising this. They have also enjoyed the start of our new English topic. The theme is suspense and the title of our new story is 'The Midnight Mystery.' Be sure to ask your children what it is about!
