Year 2 explored the online coding activity 'J2Turtle' during todays computing session. They found out what a 'sprite' was and had to explore the program to find out what each of the buttons did. They then recorded their findings on their key.

The children ended the session by trying to get their rocket 'sprite' to place flags on the planets in the correct order and then wrote down the coding instructions which allowed them to do so. The children acted and looked very mature whilst using their laptops!

Year 2 created some amazing camouflage-themed art work during their art lessons. They used a mixture of oil pastels and collage materials to create animal skin that could 'camouflage' itself against a background. Please check out our display outside the Year 2 classroom.

Year 2 have just begun a new topic called 'Friends & Family' in PSHE. We spent our first session discussing 'friendship' and then completed the sentence "A good friend will..." during our circle-time activity. We finished our session by drawing amazing pictures to demonstrate what we can 'do' with our friends.

Year Two have been learning about 'algorithms' in their computing lessons.
We watched a short video that explained what they are before starting to make our own based on the short task of 'getting ready for a cold outdoor play'.
We began by working in pairs to play a 'Human Robot' game - this was lots of fun!. We then produced written instructions for carrying out the task before converting these into 'computer speak'.
