Monday 10th January was World Science Day so Year 2 became Scientists and had a very fun experiment!
We focused on our observational skills and decided to see what would happen to blocks of ice if we poured salt on them. Each block of ice had an animal figure trapped inside and we wanted to see how quickly the ice would melt so that the animal could escape.
The children were in charge of pouring the salt, timing the experiment, measuring the changes and recording their observations and they all did a brilliant job!

Later in the week they used their science, maths and reading skills to follow a recipe to make some jam tarts. They were able to read scales in grams and millilitres, read the recipe instructions and then had a go at writing their own version of the recipe.

Have a look at the video to see some of the fun we’ve had!
