History - DIGGING FOR FOSSILS (YEAR 2)

In History, we are learning about the lives of significant individuals and the impact that they have had on the world today. We learnt that Mary Anning is considered one of the world's first palaeontologists, and that her findings have taught us a lot about prehistory. In class, we learnt some key words such as 'palaeontology', 'prospecting', 'fossils' and 'discovery'. We put them into practice when digging for our own findings! We will be comparing Mary Anning's life to that of David Attenborough, whose global impact has also been significant. Both of their contributions to the natural world are celebrated across the world.  You can find out more about what we are learning in class, in our Knowledge Organiser here.

Design and Technology (Year 2)

In Design and Technology, pupils have been learning about healthy foods including a balanced diet and the different food groups. First they tested different sugary drinks, deciding how much sugar each one had and which one had the most and least. We were amazed by how much sugar a can of Coca Cola had in it! Then, children taste tested some food combinations to help them decide what they would like to include in a healthy wrap. They were given the instruction that they must include a carbohydrate, a source of protein and vegetables. They enjoyed chopping their ingredients, folding their wraps and most importantly, eating their delicious creations. To finish, children evaluated their wrap and wrote their own instructions to allow other people to create their recipe.
