Day 4 of Enterprise week

Today we wrapped the ribbon around the circular template and then decorated the wreath with sequins.

The children created gift tags to go onto the wreaths.

Bells have been decorated to hang inside the wreath. We used shiny paper to cover the bells.

Here are some finished gift tags with a simple message written on them for the parents.

Day 3 of Enterprise week

Today we started making our Christmas wreaths!

We had to measure out 1 metre of green or red ribbon and wrap it round a circle template. We had lots of fun because it was all going wrong at the start! Thank goodness for Miss Rogan who came up with a cunning plan and saved the day!

Our topic work this week

This week we have been continuing with our Ice Age topic.

The children have been predicting what might happen to food items when they are heated and cooled.

The children looked at 4 items -
Bread
Chocolate
Water
Jelly.

We will post the results next week!

We have been planning a trip to the North Pole and have used a spider diagram to record what we may need.
Can you think of anything else?

We have also started looking at festivals and celebrations from different religions.
Today we created our own Sukkah, which is a special hut set up outside and used by Jewish people. They remember the time when people were led through the desert by Moses to safety.

Music with a difference.

This week we were investigating which instruments made long and short notes.

The children recorded the sounds on an app called Garage Band and I created a QR code so you can hear too!

Can you work out if these are long or short notes?

Scan these codes using an app called RedLaser and it will take you to a link which allows you to play what was recorded.

International Week 12/11/12

This week has been International Week!
In Year 2 we decided to combine our topic this term with this special week.
Our children have been starting to learn about what it is like at the North Pole and the effects global warming have on our world.

We have decided to try to save our world and tell others about how we can stop global warming.

The children have been describing what they might see at the North Pole.

In pairs, they have used Espresso to find information about Global Warming. The children have also been on a Newsround website that gives lots of interesting facts.

Each child had to create a list with ways in which we could stop global warming.

The children also used an app called Garage Band to record their thoughts about global warming.
Download the app called RedLaser on your phone and then scan the bar-code below to hear what the children said!

We have an ice-cream parlour set up in our role-play area which is linked to our topic this term. Brandon and Ellie-Mai enjoyed playing in it!
