Year 1&2 RE

Year 1 and 2 continue to explore friendship and ask questions about whether it is always easy to be a good friend. This week we looked at the bible story of Jesus showing friendship to Zacchaeus the tax collector, who was hated by many. The children discussed being open-hearted, giving people a second chance and […]

Year 2 science: carrying out an experiment.

Year 2 scientists are carrying out an experiment on cress seeds this week. They are combining their learning and knowledge of working scientifically, conducting a fair test and volume/measurement (which we are looking at in maths this week) to test how seeds grow if given different volumes of water. The children know that other variables […]

Y2 DT: fruit or vegetable?

Our new DT topic on food and nutrition started today with Year 2 squishing, sniffing and labelling a variety of fruit and vegetables. They were pretty good at this, but were all outwitted by a persimmon! We then learnt about the scientific definition of fruit and vegetable. We were surprised to learn that many of […]
