This week we have celebrated British Science Week by investing the theme of time. We conducted an experiment using Jelly to see if different methods of preparing the jelly slow the process down. We used frozen, tinned and fresh pineapple and put them into the separate pots of jelly mixture Read more
In Science this week we have been looking at microhabitats. We have worked together to make a wormery, we discussed a worms habitat and then went outside to search for worms. We were looking for three different types of worms – Earthworms (endogeic worms), Deep borrowers ( anecic worms) and Read more

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
Today in forest school Yr 2 Elm learnt about different habitats around the world and what animals live in them. They got into pairs and went hunting around to match the animals with their correct habitat. Some of the children wanted to make worm habitats and make mud pictures of Read more
We have been practising using clay this half term and have made a clay pinch pot and this week a clay tile. We used our Science theme to create a space tile. We created three different designs then picked our favourite to make using clay. We used different techniques like Read more
This week we have been learning about keeping safe online. We discussed how using Purple Mash we can complete ‘safe’ searches and what this means – all the content in Purple Mash is created for children, there are no links outside of Purple Mash and details of your work are Read more
We had a fantastic time at forest school today. We celebrated the big garden bird watch and made some bird feeders and hung them from the trees. We toasted marshmallows on the fire and made s’mores. We also built dens and explored the trees and nature.
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.
