Physical Education

Children will wear their P.E kits to school on their P.E days so will not need to be in uniform. P.E days in Year 2 are Tuesday (indoor) and Friday (outdoor).

We will update the website regularly with important information so please do keep an eye out for updates.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow,

Base 4’s Design and Technology – 11.07.2023

This morning, Base 4 created their own balanced meals for a summer picnic. They learnt all about the quantities of food they should have from the 5 main food groups and also learnt about food hygiene. They were very sensible when using different kitchen utensils and their finished plates looked very tasty! Well done, Base 4!

Base 4’s Bubble Snakes – 30.06.2023

This afternoon, Base 4 had great fun creating bubble snakes on the playground! We discussed how using socks created the snakes instead of individual bubbles.

Base 4 – Fingerprint Detectives – 30.06.2023

As part of STEAM week, Base 4 investigated how to detect fingerprints. They used magnifying glasses to compare the whorls, arches and loops that they could see.

Base 4’s Art – The Water Lily Pond by Claude Monet – 27.06.2023

Base 4 have enjoyed creating their own versions of The Water Lily Pond by Claude Monet. They used the wax resist technique and a graduated wash of watercolours to create the base for their artwork and then added detail by layering up colours. The finished pieces look brilliant! Well done Base 4!

STEAM Week – Careers Day in Base 4 – 26.06.2023

Base 4 have had a brilliant day learning all about different STEAM careers and diversity in science. They looked fantastic in their STEAM career costumes and it was great to see such a range of different jobs being represented.

Thank you for all of your effort!
