This week, we started our new science project, Uses of Materials. We carried out a mini investigation to see if we could bend, stretch, twist or squash objects made from materials such as plastic, modelling clay, metal and sponge. We found that the most malleable material was modelling clay because it could be bent, stretched, twisted and squashed easily. However,

We have finished our beach huts! It took a lot of time, hard work, patience and resilience, but we succeeded. The children have learnt how to saw, make different joints, measure, cut, paint, glue and they have developed their teamwork skills. We are very proud of what we have achieved!
This week, we have been learning to tell the time. We have learnt o’clock, half past, quarter past, quarter to, and telling the time past and to the hour.
We started our Design and Technology topic ‘Beach hut’. We learned how to use some tools safely and practised cutting wood. We designed our beach hut and we can’t wait to start making them next week. As part of our writing lessons, we also planted sunflower seeds in pots so we can write a step by step instruction about how
On Wednesday 9th April, Year 2 visited Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm and Weston-super-Mare beach. We saw lots of amazing animals at the zoo and got to play in the warm, grainy sand on the beach! We had an incredible and unforgettable day.
It was the turn for Year 2 to take part in their Gymnastics competition. The children performed in their PE lessons and a team was chosen to represent the school. The Tribe Centre is a brilliant venue for the team to perform at and they were excited to show their gymnastics skills. The team were on the vault first and
In line with our current art topic ‘Flower Head’, we decided to make blossom tree themed Mother’s Day cards. We created the different shades of pink by mixing red and white together and used our fingers to create the blossom effect. What do you think of our cards?
This year’s British Science Week at EGPS was a resounding success, centred around the theme ‘Change and Adapt’. Our students engaged in a myriad of live lessons, scientific investigations, and activities designed to explore these important concepts. In Year 1, children participated in a live lesson focused on farming, followed by an exploration of the school grounds, assessing how hedgerows
We had a busy week with lots of fun learning. In maths, we compared capacity and volume using rice to check our predictions. In art, we explored shape, form and texture using flowers, clay and play dough. On Comic Relief Day, we enjoyed more fun practical activities!
This week, we have been looking at how to measure mass in maths. We have learnt that mass is measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg). Here, we are comparing the mass of different classroom objects using balancing scales.
