Writing Inspire Workshop
We had an amazing morning show casing how Year 2 write, at our Writing workshop. Thank you to the parents who supported. We worked extremely hard writing short descriptive pieces, using contraction apostrophes, extending our sentences with conjunctions. And finally…
Scratchjr problem solving
This week in computing Year 2 have revisited Scratchjr. We were able to identify why certain blocks would not start or move our sprites. We were able to problem solve successfully using Round Robin. Year 2 are looking forward to…
Art Clay making marks
This week Year 2 have been working with clay. We revisited mark making with various medium to support our knowledge and understanding. To help us achieve our designs we used various tools to make our marks.
Making marks with clay
Year 2 have been very creative this week. We have been making marks and shaping clay using different tools to help us achieve our desired effects.
It’s Beebot time!
Year 2 have been extremely busy this week becoming coders and understanding algorithms. To achieve this we looked back at our previous learning in Year one using Beebots. We can now move our Beebots in multiple directions.
