It is only Wednesday but Y1/2 have already experienced so much this week - we have had a great time!
In art we have been mixing paints to show the different colours of the sky at different times of the day. We worked hard to think about the light at different times of the day and how that changes the sky.
In computing we looked around our classroom to identify input and output devices.
Today, Year 2 worked with children from Membury Primary School and the artists at Rocktopus Music to create a music video. We combined our musical skills with our dancing and fitness understanding to create something spectacular. All of the children (and adults) loved the experience and thought it was a fabulous way to start our day!
In science this week, Year 2 worked in teams to create houses made out of different materials so that we could test them against the Big Bad Wolf's huff and puff. We also tested to see if they were waterproof and how strong they were. Year 2 now understand that if we want to make sure our test is fair, we can only change one thing so we used a hair dryer to be the Big Bad Wolf to keep the force the same each time. Our houses made out of straws, cardboard and wood all blew away but they maintained their structure. We were surprised to discover our Lego house of bricks was not waterproof but that our cardboard house was. This opened up a super discussion about why this happened and at what point the cardboard may no longer be waterproof.
