This week in science we carried out an experiment to see how our flying fish fell. We experimented to find out which shapes and sizes of fish fell the quickest or slowest. We discussed how we could make it a fair test.

- Dropping them from the same height.
- Holding them the same way
- Dropping them on the same command. 

​Have you tried out the third shaped fish at home?

 
Next week is Refugee Week where the children are going to be learning all about refugees around the world. In addition, to support the cause,  myself, Mrs Bark, Mrs Ingram, Miss Redgrave, and Mrs Steward  will be raising money by eating the same food rations as a Syrian Refugee for one school week. The rations for the week include:

• 800g rice
• 120g lentils
• 60g chick peas
• 125g tin of sardines
• 400g tinned kidney beans
• 210ml vegetable oil
• 285g plain flour.

We are only allowed to drink water. 

I have attached the My Donate link below so that should you wish to do so, you are able to sponsor us for this very worthy cause. Money raised will go towards two charities; Suffolk Refugee Support and Syrian Refugee Relief Fund. 
It's going to be tough so any support you can offer will certainly help!

Thank you in advance!

2H have been working on their times tables this week. We need to know our 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 times tables by the end of the year. 

Can you help us learn them at home?

Look how much our seeds have grown! We have been giving them lots of water, sunlight and love. But we are wondering why some are leaning towards the window and why some have grown more than others. Do you have any ideas why?
​

This week were gardeners. We have planted lots of different seeds. With lots of water, sunlight and love they should grow ready for our garden show in July. 

Over the last two weeks 2H have been working hard on telling the time. We can now tell the time to the o'clock, quarter past, quarter to and half past. Please challenge us at home, we want to get better at telling the time to every 5 minutes. 

Welcome back everyone. 

What an active week we have had! We have been swimming, learnt about a sport called Squash and played some Golf. Hopefully this has inspired some of you to play these sports outside of school. 

​Here are some pictures....

Tuesday is our first day back after the Easter Holiday but it is also our first day of swimming lessons. Please remember to bring: 

Swimming hat
Towel
Swimming costume (one piece) or trunks

I hope your are all as excited as I am. I love swimming!

Year two's Great Fire of London topic is coming to an end. We have had so much fun learning about this event in history. 

To conclude our topic we made old London houses and new London houses. Look at our pictures and find the difference between our new an old houses. We then invited our parents in to help us make fire engines. We used nets to build the structure of our houses and fire engines. This was very tricky as we had to hold the edges for a long time to make sure they were stuck together. 

To make our fire engines we had to carefully saw some wood to create the axis and push the wheels on. 

We had to persevere and be resilient if things did not go to plan. We thought of ways to over come the problems we faced and we now feel very proud of ourselves.
