Science Week
This week during Science week we used the book ‘Izzy Jones’s Quantum World’. Our children met the character of Izzy - a young girl trying to find her place in the world. In her search for finding the place that allows her to be her best, the story subtly illustrates how important it is for quantum researchers to find the conditions that best suit their experiments. We observed how factors (variables) around them affects their results. We then got physically involved in spinning and experiencing how it feels when we change one condition (type of footwear) and then another.
We explored how different things we put on our feet change the way we perform our spins. This enquiry developed an understanding of ‘variables’
- something that can be changed in an experiment and their effects.
The children had great fun and could explain why certain socks aided their spins. The three year 2 classes did this on 3 different surfaces and our results were compared and conclusions drawn.
In COOL time the children had the opportunity to explore different science resources, some they had seen in year one and others that were unseen.
The Birthday Present
Mrs Gardner and Mrs Houston’s Maths group have learnt how helpful the ‘Magic triangle’ is when dividing and multiplying. See if your child can draw one out for you then write the matching equations.

We loved familiarising ourselves and exploring the gymnastics equipment today.
What a great variety of books we have looked at this half term. Ask your child which was their favourite and why?
Lovely end to half term with some long awaited ‘Cool time’ for Rosen class.
Design and Technology
We were set the task of making a moon buggy with moving wheels that was appealing for a younger child. We explored moving vehicles and what made them successful (we would then use this in our design).
Then we learnt about axles and wheels and we were taught various different ways of adding these onto a chassis.
Next we designed a moon buggy with a friend choosing what we thought was the best way of attaching the axle and wheels.
Then came the fun part,we made our buggies. We hope you like them!
We made our rockets with Fiona too 🚀
