Year 2’s Vehicles
Today Year 2 created vehicles as part of their Design and Technology unit, wheels and axles. The children used their designs from the previous lesson to create their wonderful vehicles. They used a range of tools to cut wooden axles and used washers to secure each wheel. They explored a range of materials to help make their vehicles stronger and more stable. To finish the children used lots of crafts to finish and embellish their vehicles, using bottle tops for lids and seats! Here are some pictures of the children in action and also their final products.
BCCET KS1 Maths Challenge
Four children from Year 2 were selected to take part in the BCCET KS1 Maths Challenge at The Briery in Sunderland. They spent the afternoon working their socks off with arithmetic, problem solving and reasoning activities. They played games such as tangrams, spot the shapes, target number and finished with a game of play your cards right. The four chosen children won the group challenge and are very excited to spend their gift cards.
What a wonderful afternoon we had!
