Nursery - Conker Tree Class

This week in Conker Class (Nursery) we have been learning all about 2D shapes and shapes in our environment. The children went on a shape hunt looking for common 'flat' shapes in the outdoor area. The link below shows a popular YouTube video which the children benefited from greatly.

Sycamore Waterproof Investigation!

Year 2 - SYCAMORE CLASS 

WATERPROOF INVESTIGATION!

This week Sycamore class have been busy scientists, investigating which material is the most waterproof! 

 

Our topic this half term has focused on the Tudors and over the last few weeks we have planned and now conducted an investigation into which material would be most suitable to use on a Tudor roof!

 

We tested PAPER, BRICK, PLASTIC and STRAW on a model Lego house and poured water over each material! We then peaked inside the house to see if any water had leaked through!

 

Next week we will conclude our investigation, evaluating the best material!

Woodland Animals

Nursery - Acorn Class

In Acorn Class we have been learning about woodland animals linked to our topic book 'Owl Babies'. We have drawn and painted pictures of different woodland animals, including owls, squirrels, hedgehogs, deer, rabbits, foxes and many more.

We have enjoyed making Mother Owl using playdough and feathers.



Orange Tree Investigates.

Reception - Orange Tree Class

This week in Orange Tree we have been looking at things to do with shapes. We put on our detective hats and coats and searched for circles, triangles, squares and rectangles, looking closely at the number of sides and corners that each shape has. Afterwards, we used the shapes that we found to build Baby Bear's house, thinking carefully about what each shape could represent!

Researching!

Year 2 Cedar Class

Cedar Class has been researching about the Tudors. This week we have been focused on Henry VIII's children. We have used different sources to explore and find more information on Mary I, Elizabeth I and Edward VI. We have enjoyed being able to use Computing to help us research about these individuals. We learnt that if we are using the internet we have to be specific about what we want to find out, which means we have to look for the exact person we want to find out about, otherwise the iPads and laptops don't know what we are looking for!
