Year 2 have started their exciting new topic called Inside Out. We had a class museum so we could use our curiosity power to find out what the topic was about.  We explored lots of different books and objects and after some detective work found out our topic was about our body.

What would you like to find out?

Can you write some questions for us to find out the answers in class.

In science we we tried to make the best sandcastle. First we had to plan our ideas and this week we got to do our investigation.

We needed

~ some water

~ sand in a tray

~ a cup to make a sandcastle

~ measuring jug

~ ruler to measure the sandcastle

I found out that a 150ml of water made the best sandcastle. It was fun but it was messy!

Year 2 Sports day was busy because we did lots of activities and parents came and watched. My favourite was balancing a ball on a bat and my mom was trying to make me laugh and drop the ball. The dressing up game was silly but lots of fun. It was good becasue it was a hot, sunny day. Orange Octopus team came first, Red lobsters came second and Yellow soft sand team came third. Everyone got  a sticker for joining in. We also had a parents race!

On Friday afternoon we made clay fish in clay. First we had to make 2 designs and we got to pick our favourite one to make. We had to use our persistence power to make the clay fish because we had to mould the clay into to shape and and add a fin and some eyes. The clay felt really gooey and slimy but it was good fun. Next we will paint the fish.

Minibeast madness has arrived in Year 2! In Science we have discovered all about minibeasts  including what they look like, how they move and the habitats where they live. We had a great idea to design and make minibeast traps to try to collect minibeasts at Calthorpe Haven so we could take a careful look at them ready to write some exciting riddles in Literacy.

We filled our traps with sticky, gooey jam and honey and crept over to Calthorpe to see what minibeasts we could find…….

We have been busy learning all about foxes and have made the most amazing fox masks in class! We carefully measured pointy ears and sharp teeth to make them look like Fantastic Mr Fox himself. What did you enjoy about making your mask? What powers did you use?  What fascinating fox facts can you remember?
