Finally, it’s starting to feel like spring…

Blossom is coming, thick and fast and the daffs are out in force. I can never decide whether spring or summer is my favourite season, both are fabulous in my eyes. Winter is definitely my worst and I am so grateful to be coming out of it finally.

What a great week we have had in school. Science week began with a visit from a real life scientist, she got us all thinking and we all really enjoyed hearing about the accidental inventions. I think the accidental invention of cornflakes and crisps was the most funny. A lot of our science was based around this terms topic of dinosaurs and the five classifications of animals. We learned about different animal bodies and diet, habitats, living, dead and never been alive things. We also enjoyed being paleontologists digging for mini dinosaurs in ‘rock’ and soil and mapping out where we had found them. There was also great excitement as we created our own fossil jelly stack and then did the big reveal five days later. We ended the week with a meteorite experiment, seeing which of our meteorites would create the largest diameter crater. In case you are wondering, it was the golf ball.

Next week, we are back on our regular timetable with maths and English. I can’t believe we only have two weeks left before the Easter hols. Time just seems to vanish in school but maybe that’s because I’m getting on a bit.

Things to remember:

Spelling tests on Monday.

Book change on Monday so please remember reading diaries and home readers.

Times tables test on Friday

That’s all for now, enjoy your weekend and see you on Monday.

The Year 2 Team.
