Year 2 Maths investigation
Year 2 have been using daisies this morning for an interesting Maths Investigation.
Eden and Isabella explained to me what they were doing to find out the answer.
The children were all working hard and looking forward to analysing the results later on in the lesson.
Sunflower planting in Year Two
Year Two made the most of a sunny day to plant some seeds outside. We look forward to watching how they grow. The boys in the first video will tell you a bit more about what is happening!
Base 8 – Rainhill Trials
The Rainhill Trials was an important competition run in October 1829 to test George Stephenson’s argument that locomotives would provide the best motive power for the nearly completed Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
Stephenson’s Rocket was the only locomotive to complete the trials, and was declared the winner.
Base 8 have loved learning about the Rainhill Trials and in challenge time designed and made their own steam engines before recreating the competition in school.
Base 2 Science
Today Base 2 are estimating the capacity of a variety of containers. They seem to be really enjoying it and are surprised at the differences between each container.
At then end of the lesson they should be able to:
Estimate the capacity of a variety of containers;
Know that Capacity is measured in millilitres and litres.
