This week Year 2 have blasted off into Space! We began our new book in literacy, learning all about the American astronaut Leland Melvin. First we learnt about America and discovered that they call crisps chips! Then we tried on a space suit and even had a taste of some food they would have eaten in space. 

In maths we have begun our new topic on Money. We have been learning to add notes and coins becoming expert shoppers! In PE we have been enjoying boxercise using real boxing gloves and pads to practice our moves. 

Finally in Science we have begun an experiment, we know that plants need water, soil and light to grow, but what happens if we take these away? We have planted some cress and are going to be watching them grow over the next few weeks to see what happens, so far the ones without water haven't grown at all!
