P2's Daily Research Project
Every day in P2, Mrs Dickinson's class, we assign researchers who decide what they want to know and together they go about planning and collecting the data they need. They then sort the data, interpret and present it to the rest of the class. This week we have enjoyed finding out things like what P2’s favourite planets are, how many children in our class have yet to turn 6 and how many teeth children in our class have lost! They used coloured cubes to present their findings and even include details of sub categories such as which data represented specific groups.
Did we mention that learning is FUN!!?

They learned about life as an astronaut and got to hold a piece of a meteorite. The best part was making and launching a rocket with their partner. The squeals of delight as the rockets soared into the air said it all! Brilliant behaviour and manners P2! Helen from the planetarium was so impressed with their listening, manners and their space knowledge for 5 and 6 year olds.
