This week, we have been planting seeds as part of our investigation about what a seed needs to be able to grow into a strong, healthy plant. The children used their knowledge to make predictions. 
'I think the pot without water won't germinate.' - Lyla
'I think the pot without sunlight will grow a little bit but the leaves will be yellow.' - Junior
We look forward to collecting the results to see if our predictions are correct. 

Year Two have had a very exciting day today. They welcomed Jack and Eleanor from Zoolab and their collection of animals! The children enjoyed an interactive workshop where they found out many facts about a range of animals and their habitats. The children even got to handle some of them! The children were very brave and challenged themselves to hold or stroke them. 
For part of the day, the children enjoyed painting different animals using the painting technique, 'Pointillism'. We're sure you will agree they did a fantastic job. Be sure to ask your child about the animal they enjoyed seeing the most. 

Year Two had a fabulous day yesterday celebrating World Book Day. Their learning was based around the book, 'Fantastically Great Women who Changed the World'. The children learnt many facts about Frida Kahlo, Sacagawea, Amelia Earhart and Emmeline Pankhurst. They completed some incredible factual writing about these amazing women before drawing pictures of them. 
We were blown away with the costumes that the children came in. Take a look at the photographs to spot many different book characters. 

This week, the children continued their learning about online safety. They read the story of Hanni and the Magic Window and discussed what they would do if they saw something online that upset them. The children then designed their own magic window. 

2PN enjoyed sharing some of their learning with Parents and Carers this morning. The children have worked so hard since September and this is evident in the learning they complete. 
The children enjoyed reading their writing, showing their art work, sharing their science knowledge and singing. 
Well done Class 5!
