Class 2
November: What fantastic gymnasts we have in year one and two..... the children have shown how bendy, flexible and subtle they are. We’ve also witnessed some fantastic balancing, stretching and paired work!
November: Year 2 really enjoyed spending the morning at Newton Rigg participating in multi-sports.
October: Class two have presented a beautiful assembly all about space and the creation story to the rest of the school. They worked very hard to learn their lines and actions. The children enjoyed learning, Rocket Man by Elton John and sang it wonderfully. They also planned and made the most amazing rockets using recyclable materials. Well done Class Two.
October: Year two children have been creating their own programs on scratch using algorithms (sequences of instructions). We have learned that you use symbols to represent an action for a sprite to follow. Predicting sequences and debugging algorithms is still quite tricky....... we will keep practising!
Class Two are very excited to welcome back the year two children and welcome the new year one children. We are going to have a superb year.....
