Yesterday we looked at the different parts of a plant. We learnt how a plant grows from a seed into a seedling, then sprouts into a stem, grows leaves and the bud then opens to create the flower. #LovePlover

What do plants need to grow?
Today we have been scientists and learnt what plants need to grow. We discussed if we need the same/different things to help us grow.
Shout out to Aaron this morning who said āplants and children are both living thingsā.

Am I an insulator or a conductor?
We have been working hard to investigate different materials; finding out if they are insulators or conductors. Then we have used our scientific knowledge to work as writers and produce a full scientific report.
Keep your curiosity growing folks and the conductors will keep the electricity flowing!

We know how switches affect circuits!
It was so good to see the excitement and pride in everyoneās faces when they were able to build a simple circuit with a switch to turn a lightbulb on and off! The pictures show how the children felt about their learning much better than any words I could use, so take a look at the slideshow belowā¦
Well done everyone. Iāll make scientists out off all of you before the end of this expedition! I hope you are enjoying the subject as much as I do. #ScienceRocks!

Brushing Teeth Experiment
Over the weekend the children were given a dental disclosing tablet – a fun and important experiment for children to understand and see the important of brushing and keeping all their teeth clean! What a cool toothbrush Ada has, it flashes red for 2 minutes so she knows that she has been brushing for the correct amount of time. Check out some of our gleaming smiles!

Planting in Y2
In Y2 we have been checking in on our planting experiments from last week. The seeds we watered had started to grow but the one without sunlight did not look very healthy. The ones we planted without water have not done anything at all. The children’s predictions were correct, plants need water, sun and the correct temperature to grow healthy and strong.
It was great to see some children’s cress plants come back into class so we could see how they had grown. Well done to our green-fingered classmates!

Keep Growing!
2P have been learning about what a plant needs to grow and stay healthy. We then used this to plant some beans and we will keep looking after them to give them what they need. We also started an experiment where we planted some cress seeds. Two pots will have light and warmth but only one will get water. The other two pots will be kept dark and cool and only one will get water. We can’t wait to see what happens!

Brushing Our Teeth
This week we have been looking at how we can keep our teeth healthy, by brushing them. We have learnt how to brush our teeth properly, and used disclosure tablets at home to see the plaque in our teeth, so we know where we still need to brush. We learnt a song to help remind us how/when to clean our teeth, itās been great to see some children singing this independently during choosing time! I wonder if they can sing it for you at home.

Healthy Home Learning
It was lovely to welcome some of our grown ups in this morning as part of our expedition learning āSee How Things Growsā. Thank you children and grown ups for working hard, getting smart and being kind. We made healthy fruit kebabs, played fruit matching games, paints our favourite fruits, created a fruit bowl collage and made some cool fruit masks! #LovePlover
