Our farm walk was very long but we saw lots of things on the way including a toad, caterpillars, various birds and baby lambs. We also saw huge farm machinery including a massive combine harvester.

We used nature to make clay animals and pictures. We selected a variety of things from the ground including feathers, twigs, flowers and leaves. Colin the bird ringer was on sight and we were lucky enough to all witness him putting metal number tags on the bird's legs.

It was 2LW's turn at computing today. We used Bluebots to create algorithms , follow commands and avoid obstacles. We worked well with our partners to make our Bots turn and move, plus predicting the end position. We also used the app ion the Ipad. What fun!

Observational skill were being used in Year 2 today when we produced some amazing line drawings. We used magnifiers to carefully observe pen and ink minibeasts illustrations to create our own specimens.

Year 2 are investigating the life cycle of butterflies and have just received the pot of real caterpillars so we can see how they grow first hand. Today they are tiny black caterpillars that we hope will grow, so we can watch each stage!

WOW! Our caterpillars are really starting to get huge after just one week! We will watch to see what happens tomorrow. We predict that they might start to travel to the top of the pot on Friday, to start turning into a chrysalis.

What a celebration! Year 2 performed to their families this morning, sharing their memories, looking back at photos from throughout the year and sang two of their favourite songs. We all loved looking back what what amazing things we have done in Year 2.

Year 2 completed their DT project designing and making hand puppets. They cut out pieces of felt to create the animal features and glued them onto the puppet. They all had fun making them and will take them home to play with them.

Year 2 used leaves, twigs and stones to create minibeasts pictures. They worked in pairs and made pictures including bees, snails and butterflies. They then shared their work with friends, explaining the parts of each creature, including legs,wings, thorax and abdomen and head.
