This week as part of our weather topic, we conducted an experiment to see which materials are waterproof. If it was waterproof, the water would sit on top, if it wasn’t, the water would soak in or be absorbed.

As part of World Cup/Commonwealth Day on Thursday, we explored how an athlete keeps fit and healthy by eating the right foods. We explored the Eat Well Guide. We used our imagination and creativity to make a 3D model of the Eat Well Guide.
 

Then we sorted different foods into the right sections.

Finally we thought about a meal that an athlete might eat when training and designed a plate to show their meal!

Last week, we explored various containers to learn about capacity. We have been learning to read scales to measure amounts in litres and millilitres. We enjoyed all the practical activities.

As part of our lessons on senses, we tried guessing the objects that were inside the mystery box. We took it in turns to use really good describing words and the rest of the class helped to guess what the object was. Some were quite tricky to describe without looking at them!

This week have been exploring measuring length. We started using cubes, our hands and our feet to measure different items in the classroom. We quickly realised we have different sized hands and feet and were getting different measurements!

We started to measure using a ruler. We have to be careful to start at 0 and read the measurement in centimetres.

We have started our new Learning Journey this week focusing on the five senses. We came up with lots of good questions we hope to find the answers to. We went on a senses walk around the school and recorded what we could see, hear, feel, and smell.

Hi everyone,

Here is an update from P2A! We have been working super hard and recently enjoyed our trip to the Museum of Rural Life. We saw lots of animals and enjoyed the workshop.

We have been learning about estimation and estimate a number of items. We then counted to see how close we were! We know an estimate is a sensible guess.

We have enjoyed creating Easter art this week. We chose a pattern and painted the background.
