We have commenced the Primary Connections Year 2 Science Program with a themed unit of work entitled "All Mixed Up". The unit is chemical science based and it investigates the change in properties that takes place when we mix two or more substances together. As an introductory lesson, we made a mind map of what mixtures can be, why we use them and where we find them. We looked at three different picture scenarios whereby three people were making mixtures and we put forward suggestions as to what was happening in each picture. We looked at 7 actual substances found in most kitchens and volunteers stirred a cup of each substance, observed how their substance smelt and looked and described this to the rest of Year 2. We completed a worksheet and learnt about some homework to do over the weekend which involves looking around our own homes to find substances to describe and draw. Please refer to the parent letter also sent home which describes the unit of work in more detail.
A note from Miss Taylor..
Our class blog will be added to at the end of every week. Take a few minutes to check out the entries with your child and discuss what they, along with their classmates, have been learning in class over the previous week. I hope you enjoy this special account of your child's time in 2M. Positive and encouraging comments are warmly welcome! Archives
