Science week 2025

This week in Year 2 we have been busy completing an investigation all about height. Mrs Ineson held an assembly telling the whole school how we are going to be scientists this week. She discussed with us how we are all going to be part of a whole school experiment.

The question we needed to answer was…

“ What is the average height of a Year 2 child? “

It was up to us to decide how we were going to investigate this. As a year group we decided that we were going to measure each child with a tape measure on the playground and then divide the scores by the number of pupils to work out the average.

We found out that the average height of a Year 2 child is… 122cm. We cannot wait to announce our findings in celebration assembly.

How to help at home:

-Find out what the average height of your family is.

-Record  your results in a scientific table.

-Explain what you found out.

Here are some pictures of our investigation:
