Year 2 tried to create a new world record today for the fastest time to stack 20 Lego bricks. After practise we ranked the quickest 10 children in the class with the fastest taking just over 1 minute to complete the challenge! @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool #worldmathsday pic.twitter.com/8c2fkqIp8p

As part of science week Year 2 enjoyed becoming fingerprint detectives! We analysed our fingerprints with a magnifying glass and decided if we were had an arch, whirl or loop. We then thought about which were most common @Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool 🕵🏻 pic.twitter.com/jn5YBQVESz

Year 2 have been learning about different habitats and know that a habitat needs to provide food, water, air and shelter for the living things in it. As a class we sorted living things into their habitats based on our knowledge @Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/ShjEiz58Hj

After testing bread products last week, today we developed our food preparation skills by practising grating fruit and cheese, peeling and pressing garlic and chopping herbs as these were all ingredients in the breads we tasted @Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/etkWqWqd8Z

How can we find out about an event that happened 357 years ago?
Year 2 used museum websites, books, photographs of artefacts and paintings to gather information. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Miss_Atkinson4 pic.twitter.com/7MJdNeyUOs

Do you find your woolly mammoth is always climbing trees or rolling in the mud?

Today in maths we began to add a single digit and a 2 digit number by ‘bridging’ through ten. We used ten frames and counters then number lines to support our understanding before using a part whole to show our mathematical thinking. 👏🏻 @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/gp2yL4nNhS
