Geography- Year 1 Local Walk

In Geography we have been leaning about our local area. We have been leanring to identify features as either 'human' (man-made) or 'physical' (natural) and label accordingly. We really enjoyed going on a walk through the Lordswood area and saw lots of great features that we could later add to our maps!

Year 2 DT DAY

Today Year 2 had a really fun DT day. We were given the job to design and make a model of a ferris wheel. First we had to learn all about wheels and axles in order to get our model to work. We really enjoyed thinking about the design criteria, creating our designs and then working as a team to build a model of what our wheel might look like. Do you like our designs and models? All of our wheels worked in the end.

We learned a healthy diet is a balanced diet. We explored food packaging and the traffic lights on different items and then we helped design a balanced meal for Lola after reading the story 'I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato'.
