Welcome to Year 2
End of Year
Thank You!
The whole team wanted to pass on a huge thank you for all of your kind messages, wishes and presents. It has truly been a pleasure to teach your children this year and watch them grow and develop in confidence and maturity, as well as see the progress they have made with their academic learning. We are immensely proud of them!
Have a fantastic Summer and we look forward to seeing them wave at the door of the year 4 classroom on their way out to play next term.
In our work on habitats we have been looking at what type of habitat woodlice like.
Do plants eat? We set up an experiment to see if the flowers could absorb colour as 'food'.

Salt Crystals
If you would like to carry on growing your salt crystals at home, then follow these instructions written by class 2.
1 Pour some hot water into a beaker.
2 Add some salt into the water.
3 Stir the salt solution slowly and carefully.
4 Keep adding salt and stirring until you see salt at the bottom. This means you have a saturated salt solution.
5 Take your pipe cleaner with a shape at one end and a hook at the other.
6 Hang the pipe cleaner on a pencil balanced across the top of the beaker.
7 Wait, watch and enjoy!
A quick update on the nest cam. Our great tit has been back a lot. She's now concentrating on lining the nest with feathers. It's looking pretty cosy in there. I don't think it will be long...
How do penguins keep their feathers dry?
After some discussion we thought that they shouldn't put the coat on the snowman because that would make him warm and melt him. We thought this because we know our coats keep us warm.
But after doing the experiment, we now know that the coat kept the ice cold. It is an insulator that stops the heat from moving.
We all enjoyed making volcanoes. After some discussion we thought we could make them go higher by making the hole smaller. It worked!
The tadpoles have arrived and we are following their metamorphosis in our Tadpole Diaries
Examples of home-schooling work!
Today was the paperchain challenge! We had a lot of fun and did a lot of learning buying everything we needed and working as a team to make the longest paperchain.
We have been learning all about our hearts including what they do and how to look after them. Thank you to Mr Stone for providing us with the real thing.

Number line game
To play this game you need two dice and a different coloured pencil for each player.
To have your turn you roll the two dice and make a two digit number. You can choose which way round the digits go. For example if you roll a 2 and a 5 you could make 25 or 52. Once you have decided on your number you mark it on the number line and write the number next to it.
The next person takes their turn and does the same.
The aim of the game is to get three marks in a row without someone else writing a number inbetween yours.
When talking about the numbers you can use the stem sentence we use in class. Eg I have 2 tens and 5 ones my number is 25.
This is a great little game for helping the children become more familiar with where the numbers are on the number line and how they relate to each other.
