In Science we have been learning a lot about plants and what they need in order to grow well.  A few weeks ago we all planted a seed or a bulb so we could compare which grew the best.  We discovered that the seeds tended to germinate the fastest but then the bulbs caught up and ended up…

Today we learnt a very technical term in Science - germination.  Here are our beans in bags with very wet paper towels.  Fingers crossed they will germinate successfully so we can see how roots and shoots appear in real life.

In P.E. we have been practising our rolling skills at Palatine Bowling Green.  Coach Dan showed us the correct technique to use and also explained how the bowls have a weighted side to make the bowls turn.  It was trickier than it looked to land on the target but we had a great time…

Just look at the fabulous artwork that we have created inspired by the Great Fire of London.  We worked hard over several weeks to slowly build up these dioramas.

Lots of time and effort went in to create this fabulous artwork.  Well done Year 2!

Another great activity to practise our overarm throwing and running skills.

Here we are practising our throwing and running skills.  The challenge was to investigate which was fastest, running across the playground and back or getting all three bean bags into a hoop.

A very important first step towards understanding fractions.

We used lots of different maths equipment to investigate numbers today.  Recognising which are equal groups is vital before we can learn about fractions.

We learnt about the weird and wonderful foods served at Coronations in years gone by and designed our own menu.

We coloured our own crowns and were kings and queens for the day!
