Year 2 had even more Learning Outside of the Classrom in the sun today! We were given a measurement and had to use the water in the buckets to fill the jugs with the correct amount. #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpslotc
Year 2 had a very exciting experience using the VR headsets again in topic. Our new topic is Pirates so we got to go underwater and see a shipwreck, walk around the deck of a ship and see a ship at sea. #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpscomputing #dcpshistory
Another Learning Outside of the Classroom for Year 2. This week we have been looking at how our local area can be spoilt by littering. We went onto the yard to find litter, some might’ve been planted there... of course we picked it all up at the end and washed our hands after! #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpsgeography #dcpslotc
In literacy Year 2 we went outside to find something interesting. We had to use adjectives to describe our something interesting. We specifically looked at what does it look it, smell like, feel like and sound like. #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpsenglish #dcpslotc
Year 2 were on a mission to find out the temperature of hot and cold water and then to find the hottest place in the school out of the classroom, hall or yard. Which do you think was the hottest? #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscore #dcpsmaths
This week Year 2 have taken part in lots of Learning Outside of the Classroom activities. We used adjectives to describe particular objects we found on the yard, explored the capacity of different containers and looked at how the local environment can be spoilt by littering. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpsenglish #dcpsgeography #dcpslotc #dcpscore
Year 2 were tasked to find out which cup held the hottest and coldest water this morning and to give an accurate temperature reading. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Year 2 Dragons ended their STEM week last week by investigating different seeds and understanding that different seeds grow into different plants. We drew what we thought a seed looked like then used a magnifying glass to take a close look at sunflower seeds, pepper seeds and tomato seeds. #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsstem
The Dragons have just started their new topic, pirates! We have started our learning by designing our own pirate ship flag for Blackbeard. #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpshistory
Year 2 used measuring scales this week to weight out certain amounts of pasta. We had to be very careful to look at the intervals on the scale to make sure we got just the right amount. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
This morning year 2 started to look at the measuring in grams. We got set the task to weigh out 100g of pasta, then weigh 200g of pasta and so on until we got to 500g of pasta. We really enjoyed this lesson, just look at all of our proud, smiley faces! #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscore #dcpsmath
In maths year 2 have been looking at measuring mass. We started off the week by feeling a 1kg weight and predicting which classroom objects may be lighter, heavier or the same mass as a 1kg weight. #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscore #dcpsmaths
It is STEM week in year 2 and it’s all about plants! We started the week by planting a sunflower and broad bean to observe over time now we know what plants need to survive. We have looked at the different parts of a plant and a tree too! #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsstem
