Miss Stainton’s class were given a tricky question today – How could they inflate balloons using only vinegar, baking soda and a water bottle?
They worked within groups to create their own plans and hypothesis. They then put these to the test to see if they worked. The groups were very successful and used their knowledge to create a chemical reaction which produced a gas to inflate the balloons! Well done!
Miss Stainton’s craft club have had lots of fun over the past few weeks. So far we have enjoyed making slime, friendship bracelets, autumn finger painting pieces, and oobleck! Things have been getting messy but we have enjoyed every minute!
Watch this space for some Christmas creations starting after half term!
Following our trip to Hull Fair last week, Miss Stainton’s class created detailed instructions on how to make a ‘fair inspired’ treat – chocolate apples!
We wrote up our instructions remembering to include lots of time adverbs and imperative verbs. We then voted for our favourite toppings as a class.
We had lots of fun making them but even more fun eating them! Yummy!
This week Year 2 have been investigating what happens to our heart when we exercise. We did a variety of different exercises and the monitored what happened to our heart rate.
We found out that our heart beat gets faster when we exercise.
Year 2 are learning about sense poetry. First we learned a poem using signifiers.
Then we looked at the features of a sense poem.
On Thursday we used our senses to describe popcorn and then wrote our own poems!
Next week we will be performing our poems!
Today was our first reading club in Year 2. We had lots of fun playing on Teach Your Monster to Read. We can’t wait for next Friday lunchtime!
Miss Stainton’s class were presented with the task of planning a luxury holiday for a family of 4 to Mexico for one week and loved using their team work to plan their finances!
They had to choose which hotel to stay in, which food and drink package to purchase, what day trips to pay for, along with lots of other important holiday fun to organise!
Fantastic team work and maths skills were demonstrated by all, if only we could actually experience our holidays in reality!
Swiftly, the speedy, venomous snake bit Maria. “Help!” she fell on a clear spot with despair and her vision faded out. Where and when will she come back; or… will she?
“Gotcha!” yelled Xibalba. flawlessly celebrating for the forseable future as Manolo will get blamed for it. “What have you done?” blamed the town’s villlagers and soldiers, “I didn’t” paused Manolo, “I swear!” He blew his opportunity to marry Maria, and may never see her again…
As the sky sobbed, Maria was sent away from Manolo, “Why… JUST WHY!” Tears rolled down his cheeks and he kneeled down towards the spot he last saw Maria. Now he started raining with tears as depression started to arrive. “Do you miss Maria…?” questioned an unknown voice… “I do, a lot!” responded Manolo, in a squeaky voice, “But where is she?” Manolo knew in order to see her, he will need to be sacrifised , “Ohohoh…” whispered Xibalba, in alow pitched voice, “Take this!” In an instant, two vipers appeared and bit him! “Uhoh…Maria…” his voice lowered quickly and he fell to the floor, fading away…
As soon as he opened his eyes, he knew he was teleported to a mysterious place he never had been to, he looked around, realising he was a skeleton in the place he got bit, “Welcome!” shouted what looked like a fellow skeleton on a horse, “To the Land of the Remembered! Here there are no rules, just as long as you get remembered by someone! Hop On!” As he jumped on, the man took Manolo down to the jolly, festive place. He soon realised he needed to find Maria, who was apparently here, “One, question,” paused Manolo, “Is Maria Posata here?” he replied “Let’s search!” As the horse galloped around the Land of The Remembered, there was no sign or sight of Maria, “Oh no…” he thought, “She’s not here?!” Manolo felt like dying.
