Y2 Pizza Making

As part of our DT unit we made a healthy snack. We made sure that our pizza’s had food from all of the food groups. We had cheese for our dairy, peppers for our vegetables and ham for protein. We all gave them 10/10 and would love to cook them for the rest of the school at lunch times.

 

Y2 Hygiene Talk

Out theme this half term is Healthy Me! As part of this we have been learning all about hygiene and we were lucky enough to have a visit from some nurses. They told us all about oral hygiene and some of us were shocked to find out that we need to brush our tongue as well as our teeth. The best part was putting gel onto our hands and holding them under a UV light to see the germs. Once we washed our hands for 20 seconds we put them back under the light and the germs were gone!

Y2 Food Tasting!

In Design Technology Year 2 are going to be making a healthy pizza. Our first step was to taste test different ingredients to see which ones would make the cut. One of our favourite toppings was tuna but we weren’t fans of the olives.

Y2 become Posties!

As part of our Maths unit on place value, we wanted to show the children why they might need to read 2 digit numbers in real life. This is why we became Posties for the day! We walked around Webb Crescent and delivered letters. We had to read the tens and ones to accurately identify the number and as an extra challenge we had to figure out if the house number was odd or even so that we knew which side of the road to look on.

Y2’s hunt for IT in our community

As part of our Computing Unit ‘IT in the World Beyond School,’ we walked to Dawley High Street to look for information technology. Some of the things we found included cash points, tills, lamp posts and a pedestrian crossing machine. We talked about how information technology helps people to complete jobs and keep people safe.

Y2 Germs! Germs! Germs!

In Science we have been learning all about hygiene. We found out that germs are so tiny that we can’t see them with our eyes. The French Scientist Louis Pasteur discovered that germs travel from person to person through touch. To test this out, we covered our hands in germs (herbs) and saw how quickly they spread when we touched someone else or an object. It was messy and super fun!

 

 

Y2 First Aid Day

We learnt all about what to do in an emergency. We found out that an emergency is a dangerous situation that needs immediate help. We now know that we call 999 and ask for the emergency service we need. This could be police, fire or ambulance. When we call, we have to tell the operator what has happened and where we are. We know that we must never call 999 if it is not an emergency.

 

A Thank You From Y2!

What a first week we have had in Year 2! We have loved using all of the new resources in our classrooms and we wouldn’t have had them without you. We want to say a massive thank you to all the amazing parents/carers that chose to donate money so that we could provide lovely new play equipment for your children to enjoy. Also thank you to those of you that had a sort out for us and donated toys too. The greenhouse has been a particular hit and we have already planted daffodil bulbs, pansies and sweet peas. We can’t wait to see them grow. Here are a few photos of just some of the things you helped us to purchase. THANK YOU!

Piano Exam Success!

Three of our children have been receiving piano lessons from Telford and Wrekin Music. Before the Easter holidays they all took part in a piano exam and passed with flying colours! Everyone at Captain Webb is extremely proud of them. Congratulations to our musicians Grayson, Kai and Andrea.

Y2 Telford Sings

Year 2 children had the opportunity to perform as part of a large choir in Telford Sings. They joined up with many local schools, primary and secondary, to sing in front of a live audience on the Charlton stage. They sang a range of songs including ‘Fly a Kite’ and ‘Can’t stop the feeling.’ Everyone had such a lovely time and the children thoroughly enjoyed the audience participation. We are all so proud of our Year 2 children especially as they were the youngest there!
