Bee Bots

This week in 2S we are learning about Location. To help us with this we have been reading map coordinates and programming Bee Bots.

Paper Planes

2S have been making and flying paper planes as part of a maths investigation - Up, Up and Away! Students could make either a Glider, Dart or a design of their own. We had three test flights in the Nano Nagle Centre to see how far the paper planes could fly and then we reviewed our findings. A Glider flew the furthest at around 13 metres with a small change to its wing design. This small change allowed more air to funnel over the top of the plane making it more aerodynamic.

Maths Number Sense

This is how 2S do number practice. Wow - so much information about the number 822!

Farmer Fred's Cow

This week in 2S we have been reading Farmer Fred's Cow. On Farmer Fred's farm there were four old animals - Cow, Horse, Pig and Donkey. They had never been anywhere, never seen anything - just the farm, just its fields. As a fun activity we made some farm animals from plasticine.

Today was Ice-cream Day here at SJV. The Year 6 class organised the day to raise money for their Graduation celebrations. It was great fun eating ice-cream during our Maths Groups!
