SUPER Swifts board the Titanic!

Well...today my Swifties decided to board the RMS Titanic! Each child picked a ticket (first class, second class or third class) this was pot luck so they were very excited to see who they'd be taking the role on as.  Once picked, they made their way to the hall which had been transformed into the dining deck of the Titanic. The three zones were separated into first, second and third class, it was all very exciting! Each passenger got a taste of what life was like for the role they picked. What a fantastic opportunity it was! Children will write about their experience  tomorrow... can't wait to see what they write! Take a peek at the fun from earlier...

Super Swifts get MESSY!

Day 2: Gloop Mess!
Well, Swifts truly got the chance to get really messy today as they created their very own...GLOOP MESS! Using their measuring skills linked to their Maths this week, Swifts used a range of ingredients to create the gloop. They carefully worked together in creating the  mess but most importantly had fun doing it.  Watching the liquid turn into the solid helped them to then write a set of instructions for others to use. Now, that's what I call super fun Science! Go Swifts!
Take a peak at some of the highlights caught on camera from earlier, be warned though as this may make you want to try this at home...

I wonder what fantastic fun we'll get up to tomorrow...stay tuned for some more 'Science-tastic' shenanigans! 

Super Swifts create an Ocean!

That's right, SUPER Swifts created an Ocean...in a bottle!  Linked to our `Titanic` topic the class applied their capacity skills to create this unique thing.  Children thought carefully about how much water, oil and glitter was needed and measured it out working as a team. Great communication skills were shown and Mrs Carey and I were utterly impressed :) This amazing opportunity then allowed Swifts to create some wonderful writing about what was created. Lots of `EX` awards were given out because they were wonderful to read!
Look how cool they look...

Super Swifts are...SCIENCE-TASTIC!

Wow! What a great start to the week it has been in the SUPER Swift class! As you know this is `Science week` and in year 2 we LOVE being creative! So... in true Swift style we are taking part in  practical (and fun) experiments each day to apply all of our amazing skills (Science, writing and of course Maths!) Take a sneak peak below at yesterdays experiments, it was... SCIENCE-TASTIC! That's my class`s words, not mine :)

Day 1: White flower vs Celery stick
The first experiment allowed children to test which would change colour first, white flowers or a celery stick.  strange right? Children used a coloured dye and added it to some water. They made sensible predictions and now will watch closely each day to see what will happen. We had some amazing predictions so it will be faacinating to see who predicted correctly and why!
