Class 2 - remembrance day paper making

On Remembrance Day this year all activities were based on the theme of Remembrance. As part of this we took part in the whole school workshop on paper making.

We learnt how to make paper 

Concentration and team work is required!

We needed to be organised and clear away immediately

Concentration and not much chatting!

We had a super workshop and the paper made 

(on the theme of Remembrance) was excellent.

We will certainly be doing this again!

Rock Topic

Last term our topic was Stone Age to Iron Age and this term we are studying Rocks.  One of our parapetic music teachers Mrs Atkinson is a geologist and has offered to come into to teach us about rocks - brilliant as she has so many resources that we don't have.

Practical and quick rock erosion using sweets and sugar cubes! 

 Children really understood what erosion was after this lesson!

Getting ready for practical work

Everyone interested
