We wanted to find a material that could be used to make a raincoat for a toy.

We tested different materials that we thought could be used to make a boat for Forky.

In Design and Technology, we have recently been learning about puppets and the materials they can be made out of. We were able to have a look at example puppets, and thought about the different types you could make.

In English, we are writing instructions on 'How to make a Forky' (based on a recent Toy Story character)... so we decided to make him ourselves! This will help us understand what 'we will need' as well as the different steps involved. 

As part of our 'Seaside Rescue' theme, Key Stage 1 had a seaside week.  In Year 2, we made animations to retell the story of Grace Darling, created seaside animal masks and learnt about how to stay safe near water. 

On the Thursday, we were treated to a Punch and Judy Show.  Finally, on Friday we dressed for the seaside.  We also watched a Science show and a brass band performance before tucking into a fish and chip picnic in the orchard.  We had a fantastic week and topped it all off with some refreshing ice pops.

We were given the challenge of making a boat using just one piece of paper.

We used our knowledge about wheels and axles to help us to design and make rescue vehicles.
