Golden Time with Kapla
Kapla is the most amazing toy. Lots of us like to play with it in Golden Time. Look at what Raphael built!
Maths and data handling - sorting
Elin and Zodin are adding the spots on the dominoes and then sorting according to whether the total is odd or even.
Emma and James are sorting the Year 2A pupils according to four different criteria: blue top/red top and initial A-L/M-Z.
Poppies
In 2A we have been looking at some art work by Georgia O'Keeffe this week. The paintings we have seen are colourful, close-up paintings of flowers. One of her paintings in called 'Oriental Poppies'.
This reminded us that we'd read about poppies in an information book about Remembrance Day. Also, we noticed some of the teachers were wearing poppies.
On Friday Lauren's mum came into class and told us why she wears a poppy. Her father was a tank commander in the army. She told us a little bit about the First World War and the Second World War. She wears a poppy to remember and thank all the soldiers who fought in those wars, in other wars from the past and in wars still being fought today.
In our art lesson we made some poppy pictures. We used a new technique which involves using permanent ink on a plastic sheet then on the other side using oil pastels to add colour. Here are two photos of us working:
Come and see the finished results on Open Morning!

Science
We have just finished our forces topic. Our last experiment was to find out whether the surface affected how far the cars would roll. Working in twos we tested 7 different surfaces. Using a meter ruler we measured how far the car travelled each time. There were some crashes of course! We recorded our results directly onto our graphs. Most of us discovered that wood, which is a smooth surface, allowed the car to roll the furthest.
Here are some pictures of us working:
