On Wednesday, we were fortunate to have an illustrator come in to show us how to draw faces and figures. We applied these skills and started to draw Roman soldiers. This was a fantastic opportunity to enrich their art knowledge and skills. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and are going to put what they learnt into practice in their next art lesson.

Year 2 - Woodlice Investigation
Date: 10th Nov 2023 @ 12:51pm
In science, the children have been learning about microhabitats.
For our investigation, the children had to find out what type of microhabitat woodlice would prefer.
3 types of micrhabitats in the investigation:
- Wet leaves and stones (damp and dark)
- Wet sand (damp and light)
- Dry stones (dry and dark)
The children places the woodlice in the centre of the box with the three different types of microhabitats and observed where they would go. The children counted how many woodlice were in each microhabitat after 1, 2 and 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, the children found out that the woodlice preferred to be in wet leaves and stones because the conditions were damp and dark.

Today, to honour our armed forces, we created poppies using plastic bottles and acrylic paint. We discussed that poppies have been a symbol of the First World War since the 1920's and the red of the poppies symbolises hope. Our Poppies are going on display at St. Luke's Church (bombed out church), in Liverpool, over the weekend.

We discussed the character traits that make a good person and a good friend and how we choose our friends for the positive attributes they have and how they share those attributes in the friendship we have with them. We looked at both positive character traits and negative character traits and discussed what each term means.

Last week, Year 4 attended an event at BHSA to seeCressida Cowell’s (well known for How to Train your Dragon). Cressida spoke about her writing journey and inspired children to be creative writers.
