The Year Two Class Makes Shadow Puppets Using Symmetry

The Year Two Class had fun making shadow puppets using the principle of symmetry.  They took them to the stock room where it is quite dark and tried them out.  Their "monsters" made fierce-looking shadows.

The Year Two Children as Farmers? They answer "Yes!"

The Year Two children had to get the garden plot ready by removing the old plants and working up the soil. Then, when the soil was loosened up, the children planted sunflowers, hollyhocks, cornflowers, flox and snapdragons. They are experimenting with some of these seeds to see if they will grow in this climate. The children also planted sunflower seeds in a shady spot so they could see how the plants grow in comparison to the sunflower seeds planted in a sunny spot.
            

Gardening in Year Two

The Year Two Class added potatoes to their future crop.  They felt like professional farmers with their tools!

The gods, the gods, the great Greek Gods!

A little taster to show you what you missed!

Well done all.

What Good Work in April?

Each month we hold a Good Work Assembly to recognise special achievements made by the children in their class work.

These hard earned awards go to usually not more than two students in each class and are very special to receive.

At this monthly assembly Mr Holgate and the recipients have an opportunity to showcase their good work before an audience of their school mates, teachers and parents.

All good work is then placed on display in the main entrance for the enjoyment and acknowledgement of all for the coming month.

Well done Aden Enslin in Reception. Good work!

Orly participates in the Year Two Paper Aeroplane Contest

The Year Two's Annual Paper Aeroplane Contest in Science

Each year in science during our study of Forces, the children make paper aeroplanes to study "pushes and pulls."   We have a contest in which the children get three tries at throwing their paper aeroplanes indoors.  We measure the farthest distance in metres for each child.  Coming in first place this year was Thomas Holgate with 9.85 metres; second place was Ibrahim Jansson with 9 metres; third place was Freddie Sington with 8 metres.  All the children did really well and put a lot of effort into the contest.  The Tabuk Primary School record still belongs to Tara Nicholls who had 16.2 metres.  Tara was in Year 2 during the 2006-2007 year.
