As part of our learning about 'The Princess and the Pea', Mr Boddy kindly brought us in some pea seeds to plant in class. We soaked some of the pea seeds in water and we kept some of the pea seeds dry. We have planted both the wet and dry seeds in wet paper towels in...
This morning, we were lucky enough to have a virtual meeting with Delia from the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition to talk to us all about plastic pollution, the damaging effects of it and what we can do to help. It was very informative and we loved meeting her toy...
Today we had a talk with Delia Webb from the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition who talked to us all about plastic pollution along our coasts and seas. The children shared their stories of how they have tried to improve our environments in Rowlands Gill and asked...

We have really made the most of the recent snow in 2W! We took the opportunity to conduct a science experiment to see how long it took water inside of a balloon to freeze and then how long it took for it to melt again. We filled balloons with water and food colouring...
We used our very own weather diary from school to create a pictogram. Not only did they make their pictogram but they also devised questions and answered them using the data. It feels like we are doing pictograms from all angles at the moment- in Maths, in Computing...
