This week, in 2W, the boys have enthusiastically embraced another week of learning. During Science lessons, the boys learnt about electricity. They were able to identify objects that use mains power and objects that use a battery and discussed the importance of electrical safety.   

In Maths, the boys have continued their work on column subtraction and answering word problems. They clearly understood the concept and were able to identify the key aspects of the question and apply their understanding to solve the various problems – excellent work boys!   

 During Art lessons, the focus was on researching a new artist. The boys learnt about Henri Matisse and attempted to replicate his style. They looked at his artwork and discussed what they liked or disliked, how it made them feel and made comparisons to different artworks. They then endeavoured to create their own designs, which were fantastic and detailed, using a variety of shapes and colours.   

 

 A highlight of the week was our History lesson, where we learnt about early writing systems. The boys discovered that it was the Ancient Egyptians who introduced the first writing system called hieroglyphics. They explored how the Ancient Egyptians used to communicate and then tried writing their own name in hieroglyphics. Challenge yourself, to see if you can write a sentence in hieroglyphics at home!  

 

Well done boys for another week of hard work and success.
