Year 2
Welcome to Year 2 - Wrens and Owls


Spellings W/C 23rd January (to be tested on 30th January)


Science
We have been using (and will continue to use when possible) the outdoor learning area (Forest School) in our science lessons this half term.
The first week, the children looked for things that were dead, alive or have never been alive.
This second week we looked at what minibeasts could be found in different microhabitats (grass, mud, logs, leaves, water, trees etc) and then discussed why they chose to live there.
The children have enjoyed exploring the area and have found lots of interesting things to talk and write about back in the classroom.
It is very wet and muddy out there at the moment, so wellies are a must!

Today, Friday 21st October, the children will be coming home with a transcript from the parents' evening appointments this week. Together with this, they will have some activities which they can complete at home over the half term period. Please do not feel that this is compulsory but if you can support your child to complete some of these it would help to reinforce some of the learning we have been covering this half term.
The Year 2 team wish you all a very happy half term and enjoy the rest!

Science: Wax-resistant Paintings
In science, the children have been learning about different materials and their properties. They have performed various experiments to test different materials to see which ones absorb water and which ones are waterproof. After discovering that adding wax to a material can make it waterproof, the children tested the waterproof properties of wax further by making wax-resistant pictures, using wax crayons and watercolour paint. Here are some of their pictures:
