What a fantastic start to Year 2!

This week the children have begun their Year 2 journey. They have settled straight into new routines and already shown off their fantastic learning behaviour.

Our topic this term will be ‘Muck, Mess and Mixtures’ where the children will explore how different materials change as they combine and observe what happens. A key investigation will be exploring as water changes to ice and ice melts back into water.

In our first topic lesson, we investigated how to make the best bubble mixture. We decided in our groups what materials we were going to use to make our bubble mixture. Many children chose soap, water and sugar as their mixture. Then we tested our bubbles by blowing through a straw or whisking with a fork.

We found out that the biggest bubbles were made by using washing powder, washing up liquid, water, sugar and blowing through a straw.

Check out the bubbles that we made! Ask your child if they can explain what their group did to make bubbles.
