Toys Old and New

Today Y2 finished making their paper windmills.

We also continued to make Worry Dolls.

Y2 enjoyed dance today.

Y2 continued to carry out their Science Investigation. 

Y2 have been reading a story called ‘Silly Billy ‘.  Billy worries about many things, so he puts some worry dolls under his pillow to take the worries away. Worry dolls originate from Guatemala.

Y2 have started to make their own worry dolls.

We carried out an investigation to find out which material is the best for a toy car to travel down a ramp. We used wood, foam, wool carpet and sandpaper.

What a fantastic morning we have had in the wildlife area with the ‘Forest Schools’ team! We all tried two different activities, the first was making a clay sculpture. We really enjoyed rolling, moulding and using the different templates to make woodland creatures out of clay. The second activity was making a nature canvas using the leaves all around us. We also really enjoyed eating fruit kebabs, relaxing in the hammock and playing on the swing. Thank you so much to the rangers for making our morning so much fun!

Today in science we have been looking at our shadows. We observed how our shadow is in different places as we moved around the playground. We measured who had the tallest and who had the shortest shadow.

Today we had a wonderful time practising our skipping skills. We went out on to the playground and practised lots of different ways to skip, it was lots of fun!
