Amazing animation in year 2

17th October 2025L Chisholm

In our Learning Means The World theme ‘Inter-Nation Media Station’ we have been looking at how tv shows, radio broadcasts and interviews are made.  We have looked at the first radio broadcast and the first tv broadcast that changed from black and white to colour.  We can not quite believe that some of our Teachers were around when there were only 4 TV channels and they had not heard of a remote control! We love learning about how far our technology has come and we decided to have a go at animating our own character and adding a voice to it. We then discussed what technological advances the future may hold ….time machine perhaps?

Mental health day in 2 blue.

10th October 2025L Chisholm

We celebrated world mental health day by being kind to each other and ourselves.  We discussed the feeling we get when someone is kind or unkind to us then we took part in drawing and designing our own mental health day pictures.

Four seasons project in 2 blue

10th October 2025L Chisholm

In 2 blue we are working on a Four Seasons Project and the first season we are looking at is Autumn.  We have discussed what happens in this season, different types of trees and the colours and feelings we have during Autumn.  We went on an Autumn walk and created pictures using Autumnal items that we found along the way.

Music makers in year 2

3rd October 2025L Chisholm

We have been looking at Jingles and how we can keep the pulse of the music.  We have loved learning about echo and call and repeat music and we are able to talk about the difference between them.  We then added some instruments and actions to our songs to keep the beat and explain what the vocals were telling us.

1st week back

4th September 2025L Chisholm

In 2 Blue we have had a great start to our year 2 journey.  We have worked together to create our class guidelines, looked at and created our own pointillism art and designed and made our own worry dolls to use in case we have a worry that we want to share.  We are looking forward to the rest of the year because if it is as fun as the first week then are in for a treat! 

2 Blue love going to the ball!

7th July 2025L Chisholm

As part of our Learning Means The World Theme, ‘Powhatten People’, we found out that Pochahontas attended a masquerade ball and had to learn how to dance.  This was very different from the customs she was used to in her tribe. We made our own masquerade masks and learned how to do a dance typical for that era.

sports day fun in 2 blue!

1st July 2025L Chisholm

Even though the weather was hot we kept our cool and completed all our races with a smile on our face! We hope you had as much fun watching us as we did taking part.

2 Blue loved careers day!

27th June 2025L Chisholm

We took part in the whole school careers day.  Lots of businesses and people with interesting careers came and joined us for the day.  We have been learning about civil engineers and their role in building bridges, I’m sure you’ll agree our bridges were much better than any you see on your travels! We looked at the world of advertising through the use of media videos and green screen.  The children enjoyed watching Mrs Chisholm discover her new career, she is obviously wasted as a Teacher and needs to be on the big screen!! We also looked at Halfords and their cars and what they do everyday.  We found today very interesting and we now have lots of fun ideas and goals for our future – watch this space!
