Welcome to Class 2!
We had a fantastic time on our trip to the Rising Sun Country Park. We began our day with pond dipping and found some interesting creatures. We then made some of the creatures we found using nature art. After lunch we went down into the quarry and collected some minibeasts. Finally we made our own micro habitats and released our minibeasts into their new homes.

We went on the school field and to the pond area on a mini beast hunt! We found a ladybug, fly, moth, worm, snail, ant, woodlouse, black beetle, bee and wasp!
Year 2 had a fantastic morning at the Newcastle Foundation participating in their Multi-Skills Festival. They had a go at a range of activities including football, basketball, hockey, tennis and rugby.
In Science we are conducting an experiment to find out which conditions are best for growing a seed. Today we went over to the pond to plant four different seeds. Pot 1 will be watered and in sunlight, pot 2 will be not be watered and in sunlight, pot 3 will be watered with no sunlight and pot 4 will not be watered or be in sunlight. We made our predictions as to what will happen to each seed and are looking forward to the results!

We finished our Geography unit on Kenya in style by going on safari! We began by creating a plane in our classroom and handed our passports over at security. Once we endured the 8 hour flight to Kenya we went on safari! We found lots of different animals including Africa's Big 5!
We love reading for pleasure in lots of different places in the classroom!
We launched our Guinea Pig project this week and created a two-page spread with all of the facts that we know. Bruno and Miggy came along to check that our facts were correct!

Our new topic in Science is plants! This week we went outside and took some photographs of the plants in our school yard.
In Geography we have been exploring a contrasting non-European country. We chose to focus on the country Kenya and were able to locate it on a map of Africa. We explored some African artefacts, made passports, coloured in flags and created our first two page spread! Don't they look incredible!
We have been learning the story 'Petit Monstre Bleu' in French. We played a game where we had to roll the dice and then put the corresponding facial feature on the monster. If we didn’t say the word in French, it didn’t count!

Measuring and comparing lengths and heights... recording on tables is way more fun!
On a Tuesday afternoon, it is our responsibility to visit Bruno and Miggy and make sure that they have enough food and water.

Today we found out about the life of Emilia Earheart and her great flight from Canada to Ireland. We talked about how a plane is able to fly and then had a go at making our own aerodynamic paper planes. We tried different throws to adjust the force and also folded our planes in different ways to see if it made a difference to how far they flew.
On World Book Day we followed a recipe to make our own marvellous medicine!

In Science we continued exploring the suitability of materials. We used our findings from last weeks floating and sinking experiment to make our own boats. We then tested the boats on water to see if an animal would stay dry on it.

On Friday we talked about Luna New Year. We found out that the celebrations begin this Sunday (22.01.23) and that they last for 15 days. We watched some videos of the celebrations from last year in Newcastle's China Town, we loved the dragon. We also found out that this year is the year of the Rabbit and so created some art work inspired by this. We used a stippling technique with the paint to leave behind a silhouette of a rabbit.
