Keeping safe in Year 2!

Last week year 2 thought about how to keep safe on the internet and on the roads.

They attended a road safety puppet show and created their own road safety leaflets to teach Dogworthy how to be safe.

Then to mark the National Internet Safety day they watched videos and thought about 'SuperSid's'

top tips when using the Internet.

The children made posters to teach others how to use the Internet safety and sensibly.

Year 2 Newspaper Sculpture

Year 2 constructed a ship out of paper as part of a sculpture work shop led by Darcy, an artist and inventor. The children were mesmerised as Darcy demonstrated how to use some of his own innovative inventions. One of which was used by us to roll paper into strong thin strips that then can be used to create structures. Darcy turns every day materials into works of art.

Who would have thought that a material like newspaper could construct strong structures and objects like stools. To the children's amazement Darcy stood on one such structure.

The children also worked together demonstrating reciprocity as they rolled newspaper and then compressed it in one of the specially invented machines.  The sticks they made were then fixed with cable ties. They attached these together and gradually created a ship to conclude out topic work on Columbus.  We have not yet named it by we will have to name it after one of the original fleet.

The ship will spend its life in our outside learning environment as one thing it is not is seaworthy!

Request for 2 litre bottles

Year One need lots of 2 litre plastic drinks bottle for a science experiment we are carrying out after half term.  If you have any could you please send them in with your child and they will be passed on to us.
Thank you.
