Spring 2:

This half term Discoverer 2’s Topic has been rivers and Coasts

We have been researching different rivers such as the River Amazon and the River Thames. We used our computer skills to find facts about them. We also learned about the water cycle.

We have been learning about position in Maths. We used the Bee Bots to create a route from one destination to another.

In Science we have been learning about the circulatory system and how our heart works. We used red paint, tubes and a squeezy bottle to demonstrate how the heart pumps blood around our bodies.

We have created our own captions about the story The Tin Forest in English and we have sequenced the story using pictures.

In PE we have been learning badminton. This was lots of fun.

We have been debating different family dynamics in PSHE.

In Learning Outside the Classroom, we made hearts for Valentine’s day. We had pancakes cooked on the camp fire for pancake day. We also toasted hot crossed buns for Easter.

In Art we have been colour mixing to create a vortex using blue, black and white paint.

Some of Discoverer 2 went on a residential to Standon Bowers at the end of Spring 1. They had lots of fun.
