Measuring MASS

This week in 2BP we investigated the MASS of different objects in our classroom. We had to use a Pan Balance and compare how much they weighed against flat and long maths blocks. Did you know that Mrs B's pencil case weighed as much as 5 flat blocks and 5 long blocks! WOW!!! And we also discovered that a table and the Earth would be heavier than us!

Geologists at work

This week in 2BP we all turned into GEOLOGISTS! We had name badges and white coats to really make us feel the part as we investigated a number of objects in our classroom. Students were given a worksheet and had to walk around the classroom looking at objects like bricks, fabric, paper, plastic, rocks and rubber. They had to discuss each item with other Geologists and decide if the object was a rock or not a rock. Great fun and super work by 2BP Geologists!

Rocks Rock!!!!

Hi and welcome back to a new term! We are so fired up about this unit that we are almost metamorphic!
Below we shall be gathering some Inquiry Questions during the term so that the children can present an Explantion Report on a question of their choice..

Let the fun begin... :)

Chinese Lunch Excursion

To finish off Term 1 and to celebrate our 'You, Me, Us' Unit, 2BP travelled by train to a local Chinese Restaurant. We all sat down with family and friends and ate spring rolls, chicken and vegetables, fried rice and deep fried icecream - Yummy! Children used their name placemats that they had produced in ICT lessons in the library. They looked fantastic and were very useful in catching all the bits of food that were dropped.

Chickens Visit 2BP

In our News Time this week, Caitlin brought in her baby chickens to visit. They were very well behaved in the classroom and everyone had a chance to hold a chicken. We heard about how old they were, when they would start laying eggs, where they live and what they eat. Thank you for visiting Fluffy, Flipper, Flappy, Brownie, Snuggles, Snowball and Angel!
