As this week is Science Week we thought that it would be fantastic to have some Science for homework.

The theme of Science Week this year is Sustainability (renewable energy sources, recycling etc) and we have a couple of activities that we would like the children to complete.

Activity 1

https://year2priorslee.edublogs.org/files/2023/03/Make-a-pinwheel.pdf

Activity 2

https://year2priorslee.edublogs.org/files/2023/03/What-uses-energy-in-our-homes.pdf

The children should have come home with paper copies of these sheets on Tuesday 14th March and we would love to see photos of the pinwheels that they have made.

You can either post them on this blog or you can email them to your class teacher – Miss Brown (lucy.brown@taw.org.uk) or Mrs Bagshaw (caroline.bagshaw@taw.org.uk)

Many thanks,
