Year 2 Blog Week 23

It has been another action-packed week for the Year 2 crew! This week was British Science Week and the theme was ‘Underground’. We launched into this theme with THE BIG QUESTION- What would be positive or negative if we lived underground? There was a lot of discussion and some very interesting answers. Negative – No WiFi! Positive – No more sunburn. Year 2 learnt about volcanoes and created their own clay models. IMG_1510 IMG_1511 IMG_1512 IMG_1513 IMG_1514 IMG_1558 IMG_1559 IMG_1560

The children also researched animals that live underground and created some amazing invertebrate classification keys. We focused on earthworms – the world’s unsung heroes! The children really enjoyed finding and observing these wriggly creatures. IMG_1534 IMG_1535 IMG_1536 IMG_1538 IMG_1540 IMG_1541 IMG_1543 IMG_1544 IMG_1546 IMG_1548 IMG_1549 IMG_1554

This week in tennis we were perfecting our serve. It is very important to keep your eye on the ball!

We finished the week with a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day celebration morning. It was lovely to see you all sharing in the maths learning activity with your child. Congratulations to Cian for completing the task first, revealing the leprechaun and collecting his gold!
