Soup Tasting

As part of our Design and Technology learning, Year 2 have been exploring soups! The children took part in a soup-tasting session, trying a range of different flavours and textures.
They thought carefully about what they liked and disliked about each one – Was it smooth or chunky? Spicy or mild? Thick or runny? Creamy or clear? This investigation helped them develop their food vocabulary while considering what makes a soup enjoyable.
The tasting experience will inspire their next exciting challenge: designing and making their very own soup recipe!

Computers

In year 2 we have been looking at how IT can help us. We have been looking carefully at how barcodes and scanners work in shops and we discussed how fast computers are compared to people. We took it in turns being the barcode finder, price checker and adding up the total. It took a long time! Computers definitely speed things up!
