We have worked so hard learning all about Harvest and the Jewish festival of Sukkot this half term. We ended our final lesson with group discussions to consolidate our learning and talk about what we now know.
During continuous provision, the children enjoyed tasting plums from Argentina and…

Today, we started making our sandwiches. We have tried to create a balanced, healthy sandwich and we have tried to make them look fun and interesting for younger children.

Today we used our sense of smell . We decided if we liked the smell or not and had a go at guessing what might be making the smell. We use our senses to explore and make sense of the world around us.

Today, Year 2 went on a visit around our local area, to consolidate our term’s learning where we have focused upon the area in which we go to school!
Over the weeks, we have looked at aerial photographs and maps of Lancaster and, after zooming in further, Scotforth! We learned about human and…

We have been using paint to make our self portrait. We have been discussing the different hair colour, eye colour and skin colour that people have and that we are all unique. We mixed the paint to achieve the right colours.

This term we’ve been learning about forces- air resistance couldn’t hold us back; we wouldn’t let gravity pull us down; things heated up when we learned about friction; and we were swept away by water resistance! Therefore, we couldn’t wait to see how our forces learning would pull us in and push…

Take a look at our beautiful poppies. We created them using watercolours, collage, paint and pattern. The poppies will be displayed in Marketgate Shopping in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes open and see if you can spot our art around town.

Today, we have been making ‘gloop’, which is also sometimes called Oobleck. We mixed water and cornflour together to create a mixture that is a non-Newtonian fluid. The cornflour doesn’t dissolve in the cold water so when stress is put on the mixture such as squeezing or hitting it, it acts like a…

The Worship Team helped deliver the donations from our Harvest Festival today with Dr Long. They took some food to Father’s House, Skerton and found out about how the church help those in need. They then went to drop donations at The Olive Branch and found out how food parcels are made up and…

We have been discussing how we could separate solids today. Remembering their learning from Y3, the children discussed how magnets could be used if there was metal involved. We also investigated how to separate different sized solids using a variety of sieves.

We continued exploring our senses by looking at the sense of touch. We described how things felt in the feely bag and we tried to guess what they were. 

We enjoyed using expression to retell the story. We tried to change our voices to re-enact the the characters’ feelings.
