Last week, Year 2 followed a set of instructions they had written themselves to make playdough. They had to identify the features of recipes and non-fiction instruction texts before writing their own playdough recipes.
This week, Year 2 have finished their topic on forces by making simple machines to make work easy. We designed and then made levers, pulleys and wheeled vehicles to lift heavy loads onto the roof for a new roof playground. They consolidated their knowledge of pivots, push and pull forces and making work easy through this hands-on activity.
