Class 2's blog

  • Science: flowering plants

    Class 2 have been learning how plants use sunlight to produce their food. This afternoon we took advantage of some sun and Spring bulbs to draw and label the key parts of flowering plants that are involved in photosynthesis.

  • Steelpan music lessons

    Class 2 are enjoying having the opportunity to learn to play steelpans with the Derbyshire Music Partnership. We have a lesson every Monday and are working towards a concert in the Summer term.

  • Trip to Derby Museum

    Class 2 had a fantastic trip to Derby Museum and Art Gallery today. We encountered a time-travelling Roman, who told us all about his life when Derby was the site of a Roman fort, looked at stone age artefacts and animal remains and even managed a quick glance at the Ancient Egyptian mummies before we had to head home.

    We also made some pots, took part in a Roman funeral procession and linked to our science topic by looking at animal skeletons. All in all, a fun and very educational day out!

  • Forest School Shelters

    This week in Forest School, we made shelters using knots, tarps, pegs and mallets to shelter us from the rain . . . and the mud! 🌳 🤎 🌲

  • Making camouflaged enclosures at Forest School

    This week at Forest School, class 2 made enclosures using natural materials as protection from predators of the forest. There were some creative structures using stumps, logs, sticks and some impressive knot tying! Leaves were used to help create camouflage and a hiding place inside!

  • Forest School assault courses

    This week at Forest School, we used natural resources to make assault courses for the class! The class had to go over, under, through and balance! We used the trees, planks, logs & branches to help create our challenges. We finished our session this week with a hot chocolate ☕

  • Class 2 at Forest school ðŸŒ²

    We had our first Forest School session on Friday! We loved exploring the autumn forest. We found ‘dragon’s breath’ which we think was left for us so we made colourful bracelets using this. We used natural resources like sticks, branches and leaves to make homes and shelters to encourage the little people to come back to our forest. We finished our session with a biscuit and circle time 🙂

  • Shadow Puppet show

    In Science, class 2 have been learning about light and how shadows are made. To investigate how shadows can change in size, we made our own shadow puppet show based on Plop the Owl (our class reader).

  • Bright sparks in class 2! ðŸ”¦

    Class 2 have been using electrical circuits to design & assemble their own torches. We used plastic bottles, bulbs, wires, batteries and our own switches. If anyone has a power cut, just call Class 2!
