Year 2 Fieldwork : Urban and Rural Locations
Date: 27th Mar 2024 @ 5:39pm
Today, year 2 completed their Geography unit by spending the day working geographically in two contrasting locations on the Wirral Peninsula. Firstly, we visited Oxton village and recorded the human and physical features that we could see, made a tally chart of these and played eye spy! We had some very amused passers-by! We then continued on to our second location of Thurstaston coast. Here we repeated the earlier tasks, including some sketching and a ranger led walk. We had a fantastic day and I'm sure we will all sleep well tonight - I think it's safe to say that we have some brilliant geographers amongst us in Year 2. Well done everyone.

Today, in PSHE we have been acting out scenarios. we discussed how it makes people feel if they are being treated unfairly and when others are being mean to them. We talked about the actions we can take if we see another person being treated unfairly and the difference beween.a one time disagreement and a person repeatedly being unkind to others. The children agreed that talking to a trusted adult would be the all-round best solution to helping in these situations. The children showed a great deal of maturity during these discussions and all contitbuted to agree on solutions.

Today we have been using the Blue Bot App on our ipads. We predicted where our Blue-Bot would end up when following a set of simple algorithms. We then copied these algorithms within the Blue-Bot APP, to see how accurate we had been.

In Science, we have been learning how animals have adapted to survive in their different habitats, The children completed a lesson in groups, They had to be 'running reporters' and take it in turns to find facts about their groups animals and read their fact to their friends. They really took an active part in this lesson and were able to find out lots of different behavioural and physical adaptations animals have made.

In art & design, we have been looking at the sculpturist - Andy Goldsworthy. We have taken inspiration from his use of natural objects to create our own outdoor art.
Year 2 - Woodlice Investigation
Date: 10th Nov 2023 @ 12:51pm
In science, the children have been learning about microhabitats.
For our investigation, the children had to find out what type of microhabitat woodlice would prefer.
3 types of micrhabitats in the investigation:
- Wet leaves and stones (damp and dark)
- Wet sand (damp and light)
- Dry stones (dry and dark)
The children places the woodlice in the centre of the box with the three different types of microhabitats and observed where they would go. The children counted how many woodlice were in each microhabitat after 1, 2 and 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, the children found out that the woodlice preferred to be in wet leaves and stones because the conditions were damp and dark.

2JB Workshop with Junior Stem
Date: 1st Nov 2023 @ 8:52pm
We had a fantastic time in Y2 completing a Lego Fairground Workshop with Junior Stem.
First, we learnt the basic commands needed to program the Lego Wedo 2.0 software while making a simple model of our own design.
In the second part of the workshop we followed instructions to build the Fairground ride for the mini figures. Finally, we were encouraged to experiment with the programming as well as decorating and upgrading our ride to make it even more exciting.
The sounds of ‘ooo’ and ‘arrrr’ that tell you that the children have been wowed were brilliant to listen to throughout the workshops. The children were fully engaged with what they were doing and they had time to explore and investigate by themselves, making sure it was a fully hands on experience. The software was excellent, the Lego packs were brilliant and Nick the leader was amazing. A truly memorable day for our Y2 children.

We have been continuing to discuss what makes a good friend. Today we made our own class friendship web and discovered how we are all connected by friendship in our class. We discussed the character traits that make a good person and a good friend and how we choose our friends for the positive attributes they have and how they share those attributes in the friendship we have with them. We looked at both positive character traits and negative character traits and discussed what each term means.

During our DT lessons the children have been exploring and evaluating a range of wheels, axles and chassis to help them when creating their own moving vehicle. We have been really impressed with their patience and perseverance when trying out some tricky designs.
