Year 2 Home Learning Friday 8th May 2020<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Year 2! We miss seeing you all everyday!<\/p>\n

We’d like to share what we have been up to this week!<\/p>\n

Miss Foote<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well! On Monday, the children and I made mini-beast hotels in school and we also had an investigation into which mini-beasts were inside our hotels. We found some fantastic insects such as spiders, a centipede, lots of woodlice and we even spotted a dragonfly nearby! I have also been planting some basil seeds, although most plants I have do not seem to last very long at all! Fingers crossed these seeds decide to grow! If not, I will keep asking Mrs Osborne for advice! I’m still going on long walks around my local area, which I know lots of you are doing as well! It is nice to get out and about isn’t it? Keep sending your photos and updates to the class email! (elephants@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk) I love seeing what you are all up to! I’ve been very impressed with all the work I have seen so far.<\/p>\n

I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Stay safe \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I have been learning how to make fudge this week and was also delighted to see a double rainbow after the huge rain. I took lots of photos of it and thought of all our key workers who are keeping us safe.<\/p>\n

Science – <\/u>THE SCIENCE OF OOBLECK<\/strong><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.science-sparks.com\/how-to-make-oobleck\/<\/a><\/h2>\n

Did you notice that if you make a ball with oobleck or gloop it feels solid, but if you drop the oobleck on the floor it turns liquid again? The slime is a\u00a0non \u2013 Newtonian fluid<\/strong>\u00a0as it doesn\u2019t flow like liquids normally do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cornflour gloop ( oobleck )\u00a0 is made up of molecules arranged in long chains. When the chains are stretched the liquid will flow, but when you force them together they stick together to form a solid.<\/p>\n
