Bee-Bots, Brave Heroes and the Great Fire of London!
TL;DR:
- Practised teamwork and attacking/defending skills in invasion games.
- Learned about the Great Fire of London and life in 1666.
- Explored animal life cycles and how offspring grow.
- Wrote exciting “defeating the villain” adventure stories.
- Programmed Bee-Bots to follow simple algorithms.
A busy half term of history, teamwork, storytelling and coding for our enthusiastic Year 2 class.
We have had a fantastic half term in Year 2, full of exciting learning across all our subjects!
In PE, we have been practising invasion games, learning how to use simple attacking and defending skills. The children worked brilliantly as teams, finding spaces, passing carefully, and trying their best to protect their goals.
In History, we have been exploring the Great Fire of London. We have looked at how the fire started, why it spread so quickly, and how London changed afterwards. The children enjoyed comparing life in 1666 to life today.
Our science lessons have been focusing on offspring and life cycles. We learned how animals grow and how babies can look similar to their adults. The children made wonderful diagrams to show how different living things change as they grow.
In RE, we have explored the question “What do Christians think God is like?” by learning the story of The Lost Son. We talked about forgiveness, kindness, and how Christians believe God always welcomes people back when they make mistakes.
In English, we have been writing defeating the villain tales. The children created brave heroes, sneaky villains and exciting problems for their stories. We had some amazing action-packed endings!
Finally, in Computing, the children have used Bee-Bots to practise programming. Everyone has enjoyed creating simple algorithms to move the Bee-Bots around mats and solve little challenges.
What a busy and brilliant half term we’ve had so far!
