Year 2
Welcome to Year 2!
Our Classes
Hi Year 2!
Our current topic is:
In our Geography lessons we will be learning about The Gambia. We will compare The Gambia to Gosport. We will go on a field trip to Stokes Bay and then draw maps to show the route we took, identifying physical and human geography features on the way. During our Science lessons, we will be learning about recycling and how to make recycled paper. This term, our RE concept is Creation adn we will look at creation stories from different religions.
Science Week
The Jellyfish have been exploring Static electricity for Science week.
We used friction on a balloon as an electrical charge to attract other objects. We used materials such as feathers, paper, sequins and tinfoil balls to see if the static charge would attract these objects. We also managed to used static electricity to stick a balloon to the ball. We explored why some substances were more attracted to the static than others when we separated pepper from salt.
We had a great time showing each other how static reacts to materials, even our own hair!

Starfish Photos for Seacity
On Monday 10th February, Year 2 enjoyed a visit to Seacity Museum in Southampton to learn about the impact the disaster had on local people. Year 2 had a guided tour with Jane and a hands on workshop with Jackie. They were also able to explore other parts of the museum and use the interactive displays.
