2JH Legoland

Here are some photos of 2JH's trip to Legoland. We had a fantastic day and so did the children! Hehehe!

First we went in the Lego Factory and met Professor Bricks.

We then had to get the machines working to make the Lego.

Next we explored Miniland....

                                   

After this we built tall towers. 

                                   

After all the hard work we enjoyed a lovely lunch.

                                           

                                         

The rest of the afternoon was spent exploring the rest of Legoland.

                                                       

                           

                                   

A fantastic day.

Legoland

Wow what an exciting trip we've had this week. The children have seen how logo is made - grinding, moulding, heating and lastly painted. Everyone had a ride on the Lego Movie Ride where the baddies had to beaten. The children built the tallest towers where Mr Eckton and his group were finally defeated on Wednesday! Watched a 3D Lego movie, driven go karts, created their own smaller carts and used the force gravity to see which carts were faster down the ramp. It's tiring just remembering all the great things we did.

Here's some of the children's comments;-

It was exciting and my best bit was when we made the tallest towers. Isabel 2CB

Legoland Trips

The children are in the middle of the class trips to Manchester. 2SR and 2JH classes have been and they really well behaved and have loved going around the museum. It's 2CB's turn tomorrow and the children and I were a little excited at hometime today!

Later this week we will post some of the children's thoughts and recounts of Legoland with lots of great pictures.

Measuring

This week in Maths we have been learning about measures. First we made our own 1 metre tape and found objects that were more than and less than  1 metre.

Then we went on to find out about centimetres. We know that 1m=100cm.

Today we were using a ruler and measuring objects in centimetres (cm).

See if you can find things at home that are bigger than or smaller than 1m/100cm.

Making them move.

After looking at toys in the past, this week we have been investigating how toys move.

The bears had to be pulled, squashed and pushed to change their clothes.

The magnets were attracted to each other to make shapes and had to be pulled apart.

To finish the jigsaw we twisted and turned the pieces.

The marble run took lots of pushing, twisting and turning, not to mention a bit of teamwork, to get it built!

We recorded our findings on a table showing the toys and how they moved.

Old and new

Happy New Year to all of you! We hope you have had a great start to 2014. We have definitely had a super start in Year 2 beginning with our new topic 'Toy Inspectors'. 

Last week we looked at old and new toys from the past and present. We had the chance to look at and play with toys from the past. It was great fun!

We also brought in our favourite bear from home to show everybody.

Miss Hatton showed us her bear called 'Teddo' that she has had since she was a little baby.
