Class Two

Today we learnt to sign our names and proudly showed the class.

We joined in with the song ‘Voices of Unity’ and created actions for the chorus. Our freestyle dance moves during the instrumental were incredible!

We followed this with our French lesson, holding conversations with our…

In Science today the children investigated how friction plays a part in movement. They investigated different materials to see which one had the most friction.

We are learning about the living conditions in the trenches. The children were able to create their own trench fit for soldiers.

In Willow class we are super hero proof readers. Our purple pen edits our fantastic writing. Who will we choose to be today?

In our science lesson we are investigating pull, push and twist forces. Looking into how different actions have different results.

We have been learning about shadows in science. We have worked in groups to carry out a scientific enquiry to investigate how the distance of a light source affects the size of a shadow. We have discovered that the further away the light source is,the smaller the shadow is.

In science we have been learning about how we can change the size of shadows. We carried out an investigation to explore how the length of shadows changes over the day.

We had a fabulous day out at the Think Tank. Year 3 explored the past,the present and the future, even programming a robot! 
I think one our favourite areas was outside, with some of us getting quite wet!

In science we have been learning about light. We have discovered that our eyes are not light sources so without light we wouldn’t be able to see. We tested this by covering our eyes with a black hat. We couldn’t see a thing!
We then looked at reflective surfaces. We came to the conclusion…

We have had great fun planting sunflower seeds. We have been learning about what plants need to stay healthy as part of our science topic, so we are going use what we have learnt to look after our sunflowers and hopefully watch them grow. I wonder whose will grow the tallest?

In English we have been learning about how our world is changing through reading the book ‘Window’ by Jeannie Baker. This made us consider changes that are happening to the environment in our local area. We have discovered that since 2020, 1000 houses have been built in Tamworth and many…

In maths, we have been learning about mass. We have used scales to measure objects from around the classroom. Some year 2 children even became balancing scales themselves to see whose bag was the heaviest.
