3D Shape up!

Today we created 3D shapes from nets. Tomorrow we are starting to think about the properties of 3D shapes.

A cube has 6 faces, 8 corners and 12 edges. So does a cuboid. What makes them different?

Where in the world?

Here are some statistics for 2B's blog. It shows which countries our audience is viewing our blog from. Lets see how many countries we can get looking at our blog...7 so far!

Mmmmm!

Well we did it, we made chocolate cornflake cakes. Miss Widdison decided to add some water to the first batch and the chocolate became lumpy. Miss Widdison now knows that she must always follow the instructions carefully! Look at our photos to see how the second batch turned out...

Solve that Problem!

Today Miss Widdison gave us a problem to solve.

The Challenge...
We had 6 squares and we had to arrange them into as many different positions as possible.

The Rules!
1. You are only allowed to use a position one time.

2. All squares must be touching another square.

3. A square must touch another edge NOT a corner.

Sarah shows her excellent problem solving skills

Before recording the work, Max and Noura tried the practical side

Naomi carefully considers the order of the tiles

How many different ways will Cassie and Daniel find?



Edward thinks carefully about his decisions!



Mayil arranged the tiles in 17 different ways - well done!



Little Cook!

2B are extremely lucky because tomorrow...*drum roll*...we will be making Chocolate Cornflake Cakes. The mission was to write a clear set of instructions in order to make the cake, 2B did so well that they are allowed to follow their own instructions with the help of an adult. Here are our instructions:

1. First set out the ingredients and equipment.
2. Next put the butter into the bowl.
3. Then break the chocolate into small pieces.
4. Next put the pieces into the bowl with the butter.
5. Then place the bowl into the microwave for 30 seconds.
6. Next mix the chocolate and butter together with a wooden spoon.
7. After pour the mixture into the bowl of cornflakes.

8. Then stir the mixture.

9. Next fill the cases with the mixture.

10. Finally put the cases into fridge.

U.A.E National Anthem

Everyday 2B listen to the U.A.E National Anthem. What do you think it's about?

Sound Task

Today we learnt all about the 'ea' sound. It makes the same sound as 'ee' but is spelt differently. Some examples of words which use the 'ea' sound are: bead, heap, least, cream, stream...

Tomorrow we will be thinking about another spelling 'ey'.

Can you think of any words which use the 'ey' spelling. Here's a clue, it can usually be found at the end of a word...look at the picture! The child who thinks of the most words that contain the sound 'ey' will win a 'Thinker' competency slip tomorrow.

Internet Safety

We are learning about how to be safe when using the Internet. We have talked about not giving personal information out when we are online. We shouldn’t give out our full names or addresses. However, we can give out our first name or a nickname. We know not to talk to strangers online, just like in real life! If 2B ever see anything that they don’t like or are not sure of, they know to tell an adult straight away!

Core Competencies

In 2B we are learning about core competencies.

At the end of everyday we have time to reflect and ask ourselves...

'Which of the competencies have I achieved today?'

If you think you have successfully been a communicator, contributor, thinker, e-learner, creator or self-manager in the evening or at the weekend, make sure you tell Miss Widdison all about it!

Welcome!
