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.

After a busy week of preparation, 2P finally enjoyed our Royal Ball. An honorary King and Queen was chosen at different points in the event and they had to decide which group had amused them the most! The children did some Knight training and learnt to Joust, followed by some Jester training learning to juggle. Later, we learnt to do a short Royal Ball dance and finally did some soldier fitness with some skipping. The Kings and Queens were most amused!

This week, 2P have hooked into our new Expedition; Rags to Riches: What lies within the Castle walls?
Dragons started our week and we went on a dragon hunt. We used our adjectives to make a simple poem. We have studied shields, their emblems and the designs you might find on a banner. We then made our own shields with personal designs that said something about us. Our class banner also represented everyone in the class.
