On Wednesday we went to visit the Science Labs. The boys have been learning about the properties of materials. We used a bunsen burner to see how butter, water, ice, wax and chocolate changed when they were heated.
The boys have used the following vocabulary
It would be interesting to see how many of the word they can remember!
This week has been a week of investigations!
In Science the boys had a selection of objects to test. They had to predict, then investigate if they could squash, stretch, bend or twist each object.
In maths the boys had to find right angles within the classroom. Some boys found this quite a challenge so it would be worthwhile to practise at home too.
Year 2 have had a great start to the new term!
In Geography the boys used a balloon to have a go at positioning the continents of the world and the oceans. Some of the balloons were quite accurate!
In Science we tested a selection of carrier bags to see which supermarket stocked the strongest bag. Maybe you could ask your son what we did and what the results were?
In Art we created our own version of Antony Gormley’s “Field for the British Isles”. This is what the original loos like
and here are some of ours….
We hope to put them with 2F’s to create our own art installation!
We have also been solving multiplication sums. You might like to use the links below to play some multiplication games

In Science the boys began to use the following words
