Cricket

24th May 2021P Steadman

We had our first sports visitor of the year last week when Michael from Durham C.C. came in to work with children in Years 1-4. All the children had a fantastic time learning new skills.

Super Science in year 2!

20th May 2021ajennings

In Science this term, year 2 have been learning all about everyday materials and their properties.

They have carried out  experiments to investigate the suitability of materials for different purposes.

The children tested which material would be the best to make a toy boat for Peter Rabbit to escape the flood in Mr McGregor’s garden. They decided that the material should be waterproof, strong and able to float. They placed different materials in water to see whether they sank or floated. The children learned that although some materials did stay afloat, they might not make a very good boat!

Peter then decided that it would be even better to build a bridge so they investigated which material would be the most suitable for this job. The children had a brilliant time constructing a small bridge with materials such as foil, paper, card, plastic straws and wooden sticks then testing how many weights they could hold before collapsing. Can you guess which material was the strongest?

Eco Fish visit

20th May 2021Ms C Smith

This week we have been visited by Mr Hunton who came to teach us about Eco fish and how important it is to recycle.

We looked at different items made out of recycled materials, why recycling is important and what we can do to help.

Some of us then made our own Eco fish.
