Year 2: Exploring Space With Inspiration And Creativity

Posted: 6th December 2024

Amidst the excitement of Nativity rehearsals and our festive Copthorne Christmas events, Year 2 has been hard at work diving into the wonders of space.  This week, the children took an inspiring journey as they learned about Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman to travel to space. Her story of perseverance, determination and boundless curiosity, left a lasting impression on the class.

The children used their new iPads to research Mae Jemison and created amazing fact files that highlighted key information about her incredible achievements. A special shout-out goes to Isabella and Hanny, whose fact files truly stood out.

In addition to their space exploration, Year 2 has been getting hands-on with 2D and 3D design in their Digital lessons. The 2D nets they carefully crafted are now being transformed into stunning 3D space mobiles. The challenge doesn’t stop there; the students are also developing their skills in woodworking by sawing the wood to create fixed or rotating axles for their mobiles. It’s inspiring to see their creativity in full gear.

Stay tuned for more out-of-this-world projects from Year 2!
