Art - Tube Sculptures! 

We have been learning about 3D art in our art lessons this term. We explored how 3D tubes can be made by rolling up card to different thicknesses. We worked in pairs to make our own tube sculptures. Our rolling, cutting and gluing skills were amazing and we produced some wonderful sculptures. 

Science - Bridge Building

We have been exploring the properties of different materails in our science lessons and used our knowledge to build bridges. The brief was to select materials to make a strong bridge able to carry as much weight as possible. We had some mixed results but some meerkats showed themselves to be super engineers. 

Science - Materials Detectives!

Our meerkat mob have made a great start to their science lessons on uses of everyday materials. In our first science lessons all of the meerkats have shown what a great deal they know about materials and their properties already! After discussing different objects and what they are made from, we put on star specs and hunted around the classroom for evidence of different materials. We found lots of things and sorted and categorised them really well. We even discussed objects made from multiple materials. What super scientists!  

First Aid Superheroes

Our meerkat mob had a mini first aid session today and showed what first aid superheroes they are. Pupils learnt about cleaning a cut, how to put on a plaster, administering cool packs and making an emergency call. Comments and questions were key stage 2 level. Pupils enjoyed meeting clumsy Ted and know exactly what to do if they are clumsy too! 

Great Fire of London Pre-learning Task! 

Our pre-learning task for our very first Big Question was to create a poster, leaflet or video telling the rest of the class some fire safety tips. The posters we created could be used by Derbyshire Fire Service because they are eye-catching and contain lots of useful information. We also had some super video clips demonstrating fire safety in action. Our Meerkat Class are fantastic at fire safety! Check out our wonderful work. 

Reading Buddies!

Our new meerkat mob had a great first week in Year 2. As well as showing wonderful number knowledge, writing super sentences and thinking about our first Big Question, pupils were busy making their reading buddies to help with reading homework. They look great and the meerkats are even looking forward to their first homework task!

Reading Buddy homework will be set each Monday and should be returned by the following Monday. When pupils complete each task they will get a stamp on their Reading Buddy card. If they collect all stamps, they can join in with our end of term homework treat! 

(A couple of our mob have yet to complete their reading buddy puppet, so more pictres will be added this week).

 

Meet this year's Marvelous Meerkat mob!! 

We had a fantastic transition day back in July and, as you can see, the whole mob are marvellous at drawing meerkats. A great start to Year 2! 

Some of our new meerkat mob enjoyed sensory play:
