If you went into Year 2 at St Vincent’s this term you were sure to get a fright!

We’ve been learning all about animals that live in the African Savannah and Mo, the animal man brought in some animals and taught us all about their habitats and their food chains. We had a great time and some of us were brave enough to hold the animals!

 

In Year 2 we carried out a Science Investigation into which Snail would be the quickest and win the race.

We raced different sized snails and predicted that the biggest snail would be the quickest.

However, what we found was that the smallest snail was the quickest.

In Maths we’ve been looking at how to use Bar Models as another way of solving problems.

This half term we have been reading Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper. In the story, three friends each have a job to do and they love to share a bowl of Pumpkin Soup at the end of each day so we thought that we’d share lots of different soups together in Year 2. It was a delicious afternoon.

If you’ve been into Year 2 recently, you may notice something growing on our windowsill…

It’s our bean plants, of course!

We’ve been learning all about different fruits and vegetables and what plants need to grow and we’re successfully growing our own bean plants with a little bit of soil, some seeds, water and sunlight.

Here we are planting our seeds…
