Year 2 Blog

In the Autumn term the Eco leaders and their chosen helpers from each class planted crocus and daffodil bulbs with the help of the members of the Tameside Rotary. The crocuses were donated by the Tameside Rotary to commemorate the End Polio Now campaign.  Now that it is the beginning of spring the flowers are starting to grow.  Fabulous job everyone!  Please make sure that any litter is picked up, as we sadly found a number of pieces of litter near the new flowers.

Today in Science, the children were given a number of seeds and bulbs on their table and were asked to have a look at them and discuss what they notice about them. The children then completed a matching activity where they had to match the different seeds with the plants. The children learnt a lot of new names of seeds and plants. Why not quiz them and find out about their fantastic knowledge?

This half term we will be busy buzzing about BEES! Keep watching our blog / class Seesaw to see what exciting things we get up to over the half term, especially our exciting hooks/experiences that will bring our learning to life.PE will take place every Thursday and Friday afternoon. Please ensure your child has an indoor (pumps for Dance and Gymnastics) and outdoor (warm with trainers) PE kit in school, in a clearly labelled bag. In Science this half term, we will be exploring the topic ‘Plants’ and investigating which plants we and Bees need to survive.
