This week the classes have been conducting lots of different experiments and investigations for this year's Science Week. As always the children have thoroughly enjoyed finding out about the world around them through science.
During the week Year 2 has had the opportunity to investigate; the differing densities of liquids and how this effects how fast they can race, the changing state of water, investigating magnets and how to design and build a free standing structure that could support the weight of a creme egg! All of the experiments have led to some brilliant discussions and the children seem genuinely excited by the activities.

Week ending 13.3.2015
What have we been doing in English? This week in English we have been looking at Fairy Tales. The students worked at re-telling and creating their own stories in this genre. Writing in this genre really allowed the children to use their imaginations and they were able to write some great stories filled with fantastic characters and far-away places.
What have we been doing in Maths? This week we have been conducting our termly assessments of the students ability.
What have we been doing in Topic? The topic for this term is entitled 'From A to B' focusing on different types of transport and travel. This week we have been finding out about different materials and the best way of waterproofing them. The children had the opportunity to make their own boats and to test how long their could stay afloat.
