In maths this week, we have been exploring 2D shapes and their properties. We have enjoyed exploring shapes in a range of ways; shape hunting, shape songs, creating pictures using shapes and also sorting shapes according to their properties.
During our shape hunt, we found loads of shapes and recorded them on our clipboards. What shapes can you see?
We have also been busy making shape pictures and were able to identify all the shapes that we have used. We then discussed the properties of the shapes too.
Can you tell what we have made?
Which shape has two long sides and two short sides?
The children were then introduced to a sorting method using a Venn Diagram. We really enjoyed sorting the shapes and objects into the correct place. We know that we use Venn Diagrams for sorting!
During science on Monday Year 6 investigated electrical circuits. We used the science apparatus to make the circuits and to test if the circuits were complete or not.
To become scientists we asked the questions
What if we added more bulbs to the circuit? Would it become brighter or not?
The children in year two were asked to identify safe places to play. They was then asked to identify unsafe places to play in their local area and explain why they would be at risk playing in these areas.
Today, in year one, we were talking about feelings . We talked about how we can tell how someone is feeling by their facial expression. In talk partners, the children had to guess how the other person was feeling. They then had to draw their face and write a sentence on how they were feeling today.
Year 2, School Councillor, Ka’Leyah, helped children to create Poppy Hat Competition ideas. The children worked during lunchtime to design their hats. Good luck to all who entered.
The School Council, held a cake sale on Friday 30th September, to help raise money for Macmillan Cancer Trust Charity. We would like to thank everyone who, donated tasty treats, bought a cake and attended the coffee morning.
We have had a very busy week in Year 2 learning all about how to make a kite!
We have been investigating what properties a really good kite needs to have to help it fly. We thought it needed to be light so that it could fly easily, strong so that it didn’t break on a windy day and flexible so that it could move beautifully in the wind. Then we thought about what materials we could use that included these properties. We decided that we would make the sail out of paper, the line out of string and the spars out of lolly pop sticks. The tail could be made out of wool and the handle could be made out of strong wood.
Let’s hope we have some windy days to test out our kite!
