Electrical Circuits
Juniper are learning about electrical circuits this half term. We have looked at the different components that make a circuit. We’ve learnt their symbols and had a go at making some circuits. We discussed what effect removing certain components from a circuit may have, then we put these into practise. Read more…

Life processes
This half term for Science we are learning about habitats. For our first lesson we looked at the seven different life processes. We had lots of fun acting out these processes to help us to remember the correct names. We used MRS NERG – Movement, respiration, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, reproduction Read more…

Science club – rafts
Science club have been working towards the Crest Award. In order to be successful, the children have the independently complete different challenges. This week the children completed the task ‘Crafty rafts’. We then tested them in water to see which raft held the most amount of counters before it sank.

The solar system
We have been learning all about space this half term in science in Year 2. This week we looked at what planets are in our solar system and learnt all of their names. We then used inflatable planets and put them in order from the sun.
