Year 2 - English - What's in the box?

 

In Year 2 we are learning about suspense writing. To help us understand this better we put out hands into mystery boxes to learn the feeling of suspense!

Polygons in Year 2!

 This week, Year 2 have been learning about 2D shapes. We can name and identify 2D shapes and can now identify quadrilaterals and regular and irregular polygons. Take a look at us creating own own regular and irregular polygons below.

Science in Year 2- Plant Pollination!

 In Science this half term, Year 2 are learning about plants! As part of our learning this week, Year 2 have learnt about how plants pollinate. 

In groups, we created flowers and bees and then role-played the process of pollination. We leant about key vocabulary such as, pollen, nectar, dispersal and pollinate. Here is some of our learning below.

Year 2- Food Technology- Battle of the Wraps- Day 5!

 Day 5

Day 5 was the final day and the day we made and evaluated our wraps!

We followed our designs, made sure we used the correct cutting grip when chopping our ingredients and then created our final product.

Once we had finished making our group wraps, we then tasted our product and evaluated it. We considered whether it met the brief, if it could be improved by adding different ingredients or textures and then gave it a score out of 5!

Year 2- Food Technology- Battle of the Wraps-Day 3!

 Day 3

Day 3 was design day! 

Now that we've taste tested a variety of combinations we decided on our final design for our group wraps.

We checked that they met the design brief and then enjoyed making up a name for our product.

Some of names include:

'Tunalicious'

'Chicken Star Wrap'

'Turkey Crunch Surprise'

Year 2- Food Technology- Battle of the Wraps - Day 4!

 Day 4

Day 4 was a day for us to develop our cutting skills. In order for us to chop our proteins, fruits and vegetables carefully we had to learn the 'claw' and 'bridge' grip. 

We learnt that the 'claw' grip is best used for long, rigid foods like cucumbers and carrots, whilst the 'bridge' grip is best for spherical foods such as, tomatoes and onions. 

Year 2 Food Technology- Battle of the Wraps- Day 2!

 Day 2

Today we were introduced to our design brief...

1. Little hidden sugars as possible.

2. To include a protein, fruit/vegetable, and a dairy product.

3. To taste delicious.

4. To be cost effective.

In order for us to achieve our design brief we took part in taste testing within our group. We tried different combinations of each of the food groups and then decided as a team which one we liked best. The winning combination would then be our final design for our wrap.
