Here we are at the start of Year 2!
Our Topic this term is:
Out and About
We will be learning about:
- Our local area
- The environment
- Growing plants
- How seeds disperse
- Foods from around the world
We started our topic off by finding out what fruits and vegetables had seeds. We cut open each item and found out that fruits have seeds. We then tried the different foods. It was so much fun trying new foods!
We learnt all about bees and how they make honey. We then researched recipes that had honey in them and decided to make flapjacks. We went to the shop with our shopping list and paid for the ingredients, making sure we had the right amount of change.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Our new topic is all about transport. We will be looking at transport over time and how it might change in the future. We will also be having a go at making some of our own modes of transport.
Here is some class information:
