On our first day back after half term, Year 2 had a great morning experimenting with electricity! We defied gravity by making a balloon stick to the wall and we even made salt and pepper jump from a bowl! We learnt that this was all down to static electricity. We had lots of fun making our hair stand up. We also used snap circuits to make fans and lights. We had a great morning and can't wait to learn more about electricity!

Balance Bike Bonanza Willow Class!

Date: 29th Jan 2020 @ 12:01pm

This half term the children have enjoyed using the balance bikes. The children talked about the importance of wearing a helmet to keep them safe and identify and name the different parts of a bike. The instructors focused on teaching the children how to stop and start on a bike as well as them developing good balance and co-ordination whilst riding the bike. What great fun they had!

Date: 25th Feb 2020 @ 7:05pm

Children have been asked the question – What makes a house a home? This half term, we are going to be learning how lifestyles have changed since the Medieval period and how routines within Britain have evolved. Firstly, we are going to look at how we live today and work our way back through the Victorians, Georgians, Stuarts, Tudors and right back to when the first castles were built by the Normans in 1066.

The One With The Coding!

Date: 24th Feb 2020 @ 8:22pm

For our WOW this morning, we played a range of games using coding. Each game required us to do certain things, such as collect gems or make a character get from A to B. To do each of these things, we had to use lines of code and connect them to make the character move. Some of the tasks required us to debug lines of code to find the error. We will use these skills through our coding unit this half term.
