Making our own apps

First of all I would like to apologise for the lack of blogs this week! We have had a very busy week in Year 2. We started off the week with a visit from Harold in the Life Education van. The children learnt all about their feelings and how to keep our bodies healthy.

In Literacy this week the children have been writing their own rhyming poems. It has been great reading them, hopefully we will have some more poetry next week about an adventure the children would like to go on.

In ICT the children have been working on Espresso coding. This week they were set the challenge to create their own app (character), they had to draw their own background, add buttons and a code to make their app move if specific buttons were pressed. We had some amazing results! They have now been placed on espresso coding online so if you get a chance you can take a look!

I am sure you all are aware but the children managed to get all of their crystals in the jar this week and so they can now have a prize. Throughout the week the children have been placing their ideas down for what they would like. We had all sorts of ideas from magicians, candy floss, going to the beach and parties! We placed them all in a bowl and pulled out 'Pizza Party', so as a special treat for working so hard as a team the children got to make their own slice of pizza in Golden Time this week.

As the weather is hot at the moment please can we make sure that the children have sun hats, sun cream applied, healthy snacks/lunches and lots of water.

Thank you, enjoy the sun!
