Y2 have continued the science feel from last week and have been looking at the human skeleton and how it moves. Monday afternoon was spent drawing life sized skeletons of children in the class. The children worked well in their teams and all of them helped out with the drawing.
Wednesday morning was Y2 tennis. This week the children concentrated on movement and ball control. They practiced side stepping and moving forward and backward. They even got to have a small rally with each other at the end of the lesson. The weather was lovely and sunny and the children enjoyed a great morning of tennis.
In ICT the children looked at human skeletons as well as those of other animals. Some children even looked at dinosaurs to investigate any similarities between them and human bones. The children learnt lots of interesting facts and so did I.
In maths this week the children used the knowledge they had learnt in science to measure each others bones. This included the head, spine, legs and arms. We also looked at patterns in bone size and answered the question ‘is the length of the forearm of a person equal to the length of their foot.’ You will have to get that tape measure out to find out!
