The 5 Food Groups
The Y2 Parks class have been learning about the five important food groups that we need to eat to have a healthy diet, we know which foods belong in each group!
Science
Observing Weather
In Science we are observing and recording this week’s weather!
Electrical conductor or insulator?
Testing different materials to find out if they are conductors or insulators of electricity.
Birkwood in Bloom
Our Raised Beds Competition Winners received a very tasty treat to start the term! Thanks to Miss Greenwood for the opportunity to design the class Raised Bed posters and of course the prizes! Happy new term everyone.
Planting and growing
We worked in groups to plant runner bean and cress seeds. We talked about what the seeds need to grow and what parts of the plants we will see as they start to grow.
Separating mixtures
We have experimented with a range of methods to try and separate different mixtures. Once we found success, we explained the process.
Animal Workshop
This afternoon we met some animals. The first animal we met was a snake!
We loved stroking the tortoise!
We met a bearded dragon!!
We were very brave holding the tarantula!!
The final animal we held was a centipede. We found out it has 250 legs!!
Amazing Animals
We finished our learning about animals off with some special visitors. It was great to meet some of the reptiles, mammals and insects that we have been learning about.
Are all metals magnetic?
After investigating this question, we knew that not all metals were magnetic.
Friction
We investigated using different surfaces. We discussed why we thought some material caused more friction than others. We showed fantastic collaboration.
Understanding forces
We identified which actions were an example of ‘push’ and ‘pull’. We know there are different types of contact forces. We used actions to remember these. Then we thought of examples for each type of force.
