Click on the link to see the Powerpoint that Mayan made at home! Below are pictures of each slide. Well done Mayan for learning how to use Powerpoint and for finding out information about Nocturnal animals that we haven’t even looked at in class!
Dinosaurs are very interesting to learn about because there is so much history into them.
Next week we are learning about Nocturnal animals - so here is a link which you can use to get lots of interesting information!
Remember don’t copy and paste from the Internet - read the information and then put it in your own words.
We’ve had another super week at school. Everyone has worked really hard and we are all really proud of the work we have done on Dinosaurs and the tessellation work we have done, inspired by the artist, Escher.
Enjoy our pictures!
We have a Jelly Bean shop in the class room! We are using our Maths knowledge to help us with the shop! We have read a fabulous and fun book called ‘How many Jelly Beans!’ and loved the huge fold out poster at the back which had a million dots for Jelly beans on it! Now we know what an enormous number 1 million is!
We decided to do some science with the Jelly Beans and wanted to see what happened when we put them in different liquids. First we put them in distilled vinegar. We put 2 beans in the cup and stirred it for 5 minutes - some of the colour came off the beans and we saw that the red and yellow bean, changed the vinegar to an orange colour, while the blue and yellow went greenish. If you didn’t stir the vinegar then not much colour came out of the bean.
We had make a hypothesis before we started - and thought that the colour would change - we also thought that if we added bicarbonate of soda it would fizz up, and the fizz would be the same colour as the liquid. We knew it would probably fizz because we had done an experiment before about vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. It did fizz - but the bubbles only had a tint of the colour of the liquid.When we left the beans in the liquid over night, the hard coating disappeared and only the soft jelly was left. Most of the colour had dissolved into the liquid.
We loved doing the experiment, so we repeated the experiment using Sprite - this time the colour came out quicker and was stronger, but the bicarbonate of soda didn’t fizz up as much.
Hell 2 Palm,
Your stories and descriptions of the Gruffalo mum are fantastic and you have used lots of adjectives to bring her to life well done! I love the video of you making the woods and painting your Gruffalos’ I bet you enjoyed doing that, they look great!! I miss you all but I have been so busy working in year 1, we have been learning lots of new maths and literacy where they have been writing about a time that they have been to the seaside. Even though I can’t be there it is lovely to be able to see your amazing work and hear that you are all being the best you can be. I can’t wait until next week to see the blog, Mrs Shaw

She also has long arms, purple,long tail and peachy skin. Her face is yellow and hair is blue. Another amazing fact is she has claws as sharp as a knife! Her face is like the bright, yellow sun.

Can you belive the Gruffalo has a wife and the Gruffalo child has a mum.the Gruffalo mum is as tall as a tree, she has a big round wart on the end of her nose, she has a big green face, her eyes are sparkling red. The Gruffalo mum is very ugly, but she is very nice. Another amazing fact is that the Gruffalo mum has very big spiky prickles on his back.
What a brilliant week we have had! You have all worked so hard.. the team collages of trees for the wood, look brilliant. You worked really carefully making your clay models of the Gruffalo and then you really enjoyed painting them. We had all thought about what the Gruffalo Mum might look like, and when you painted your own clay models I know you enjoyed using your imagination to create some extraordinarily colourful members of the Gruffalo family!
Unfortunately the computers were playing up when you tried to blog your descriptions - but do try and finish them at home - you had such amazing ideas.

I had a great time at school!!!
Hello 2 Palm,
It was lovely to see you all on Friday at the fantastic Family Mathletics celebration. Rufus thought school was brilliant and he told his Grandma and Grandpa all about Mr Mathletics when we got home. I was delighted and very proud to see so many more gold awards in Year 2. Keep up your great work! I look forward to seeing more of your Gruffalo writing and artwork on the blog. Your forest classroom will look amazing!
