Bee Bot: There and Back

Year 2 are carrying on with the Bee Bot programming they started earlier in the week.

They worked out the program to get the Bee Bot to go along this tape track... and back!

Watch the video:

Bee Bots

Children in Year 2 have been programming the Bee Bots to move round a course. We had to carefully measure how far they go in one step and use that to work out how to make them go round the course.

Maths with Cuisenaire rods and Numicon

Year 2 have been using the Cuisenaire rods to work on multiplication:

and Numicon!

"No, they're meant to be all the same colour!"

School fairy

Year 2 had a big surprise today when we were interrupted during handwriting practice with a special delivery from a school fairy. We have been thinking carefully about the jobs that she might be able to help us with around the school.

Planting seeds

During the last two weeks, year 2 have spent a lot of time planting, watering and observing their seeds. We have planted some beans, chives and coriander. Finally our plants have begun to grow! We have been very excited by the results.

'Grace and family' our poem

Shopping

In a Gambian shop

Colourful

Scarfs with pictures

Amazing

Crocodile and elephant prints

Soft

Smiling faces

A bright knotted head scarf

Happy

Choosing and testing

Proud father

A little girl called Grace

Excited

A present

Pleased

With her first African dress
