Year 2 has been pulling out all the stops this week and have really impressed me with many pieces of hard work.
At the beginning of the week we were working to finish and test our paper-cup telephones. These had already been worked on the previous week for World Science Day when we studied the life and works of Alexander Graham Bell. They just needed a few tweaks to be ready for a competition of longest call made.
Later in the week, we worked to study and understand the parable of the Prodigal Son. Year 2 worked to re-enact scenes from the parable so their friends could guess which part of the story was being acted out.
In the middle of the week we began to consider the needs of animals in various habitats.
Using this knowledge we planned and later constructed hedgehog shelters to provide a safe spot over winter. Children thought about the materials that could be used and included tin-foil to keep water out, straw for comfort and cardboard for strength.
Finally, today we have been raising money for Children in Need. Thank you for all the money and food brought to school. Any unopened packets of food will be taken to a food bank. Children mixed up year groups to share the gift of food among one another.
Thanks for a great week Year 2.
Mr Rolison
