Year 2 children have revised areas ready for SATs next week, we have looked at multiplication and division, fractions of shapes and amounts and shape properties.

Science – We went on a ‘wild plant hunt’ in our Science lesson and then came back to class to start our class experiment. We have planted four tomato plants and placed them in different conditions to see what happens: 1) water and sunlight, 2) water and no sunlight, 3) no water and no sunlight and 4) sunlight and no water. The children have made predictions about what they think will happen.
