Going on a minibeast hunt!

In Science, we are learning all about living things and their habitats. We have been looking at microhabitats and minibeasts that we might find. We had a very successful forest school mission and managed to spot quite a few wriggly friends!

Flora and Fauna inspired art

We have begun our new art topic which the children are so engaged with already! We are studying artists whose work is inspired by nature found in a particular area, recreating pieces by sketching, mark making and collage. We will create a final nature inspired collage at the end of the learning journey.

 

Baking carrot muffins

We put our chopping, peeling and grating skills to the test for our D&T learning this half term! We made healthy (ish) carrot muffins and practised the key

skill of grating carrots. They were very yummy!

Making fire-breathing dragons!

For the hook for our first story in English, we witnessed a dragon landing on the playground outside our classroom! So to prove that we’re not scared, we created our very own fire-breathing dragons.

Chester Zoo!

Class 2 had a fantastic time at Chester Zoo. Despite the very warm weather, we soldiered on and really enjoyed seeing all of the incredible animals!

Treasure Hunt!

For the hook for our next story, Captain Blackbeard, Class 2 went on a treasure hunt! They collected a gold coin at every clue which eventually led them to the main prize!

Creating chemical reactions!

For Science Week 2024, Class 2 were exploring what happens when we mix vinegar with bicarbonate of soda. We used red and yellow food colouring to dye our mixture to make it look like lava erupting from a volcano. We then put some bicarbonate of soda into a balloon, tied the balloon to the top of a bottle filled with vinegar and emptied the soda from the balloon into the bottle. The children were amazed at how the balloon started to inflate!

Making disgusting sandwiches

Class 2 have been learning the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch in English where Mrs Grinling makes sandwiches filled with hot mustard to scare away the pesky seagulls that are after the lunch! As the hook for our next piece of work, the children have been busy in Forest School making their own disgusting sandwiches!

Creating calm seascapes

In Art, the children have been learning how to use horizontal paint brush strokes to create different calming shapes and patterns. They studied the work of Monet and used his work to inspire their calm seascapes.
