2P continued our work investigating the properties and suitability of materials. We have been challenged to save Humpty Dumpty so he won’t crack when falling from the wall. We created our own designs using our scientific knowledge and then did a gallery walk to spot the strengths of other people’s designs. We then worked collaboratively to make some of our designs come to life. We must now conduct a fair test to see if they will work!

In Crew we have been thinking about how nice it feels when someone is kind to us. Whether they helped us with our work, helped us when we fell over or picked up our coat when it fell on the floor.
We all thought about the last thing we did that was kind and what things we could do to be kind to others. We each made a Kindness Coupon and shared our kind deeds with our friends and grown ups in school and at home.

2P has investigated which material would be best to construct a castle with. We made simple castles out of aluminium foil, paper, cardboard, plastic, bricks and wood. We then tested whether the materials would easily be destroyed by a projectile, by a strong wind or if they would easily burn. We realised that paper and foil were terrible choices and that the best material would be brick.

2P have continued our investigation into materials and the suitability of materials for different purposes. We sorted materials by their properties and then investigated whether they were waterproof, strong and windproof. We discovered that materials can be different depending on what they are used for. We tested whether our outside wooden shed was waterproof by standing inside it and pouring water over the roof. We discovered that although the wood was generally waterproof, there were a few holes that allowed the water in! A small shock for a few children! We then collected our results and decided which materials would be best to build a house from.

We had a great week in Year 2 last week, we enjoyed finding out about different materials and their properties. We investigated different materials and what their uses were. We sorted the materials based on different properties and explored why certain objects are made from particular materials.
