Year 2

After our successful session, whittling our own toasting forks. We decided that we needed to test them out for effectiveness. Up in the woods we finally lit a fire, and happily toasted our sausages over the campfire. We only lost a few sausages to the fire, but luckily there were spares.

We had a fantastic time at Manchester airport visitor centre. You won’t believe all the fantastic things we got to see and do! We stood underneath the fastest passenger plane in the world, asking lots of brilliant questions. Then we pretended to be pilots and engineers on the flight deck of real plane and could […]

Here is another opportunity to follow the exciting world that is St Mary’s CE School. We are launching our twitter account this week. https://twitter.com/StMarysKL Why not follow everything we are doing!  

School Council have been debating this week about improvements to our school. We have agreed to spend £2000 on improving the infant play area.  We will be buying two new houses for the playground.

We went up into the woods and using what we could we around us made some fantastic leaf wreaths and decorations for the trees.

We have been learning about fractions. We found 1/4 and 1/3 of shapes and then used counters to help us to work out fractions of amounts.

As a reward for reading at least three times each week, the year twos were given a marshmallow point. This then translated into real marshmallows at the campfire. We then had a real campfire up in the woods and had brilliant fun toasting our tower of marshmallows.

The children were given a challenge to finish our  science topic on materials. They had to design and make a boat that floated on water and held six plastic people. They could choose from Lego, newspaper, wooden lolly sticks, straws and bubble wrap and then had to decide which material they thought would be the […]
