To consolidate our recent Maths learning all about position and direction, we used the Beebot programme on the Ipads in our computing lesson today. We used the forwards, backwards, left and right buttons to move the Beebot to different places.

National Numeracy Day in Year 2…
We decided to find out the most popular ice cream flavour in Year 2. First of all, we needed to collect our data. After deciding on some possible flavours, we asked each other which their favourite is. We recorded our findings in the form of a tally chart, remembering the golden rule of putting a diagonal line through for number five.
After collecting the data, we then used it to create a bar chart. Using this, we were able to identify the most popular and least popular ice cream flavours.
Painted Iris and Summer Snowdrop
Today we have looked at some of the work of artist and botanist James Bolton. We began by noticing key features and then had a go at sketching the painting.
ACE Computing…
We enjoyed our computing lessons this half term where we used the program J2Data. We created our own pictograms and bar charts after collecting the data and recording it in the form of a tally chart.
Art Inspiration – Rob Ryan
Rob Ryan is an artist that specialises in paper cutting. Today we looked at how we could use paper in different ways to create a scene from The Owl and the Pussycat.
To begin with we manipulated paper by scrunching, folding and snipping it.
After that we used the techniques we had learnt to create a picture in the style of Rob Ryan’s work.
Here are some of the finished results!

ACE Scientists…
Some of us were very excited to share the results from the finger print challenge we completed at home.
We used pencil, ink, cocoa powder, flour and other things to investigate our finger prints and those of our family members. We discovered that everybody’s finger prints are different.
How fascinating!
Comic Relief 2023…Silly Hair Styles…
Lots of us were very excited this morning when we arrived at school with a silly hairstyle in support of Comic Relief. We have some very creative children and parents in Year 2!
Fantastic Fingerprints!
For Science Week this year we set the challenge of collecting and comparing finger prints to see if you can identify an patterns.
