Call and response in Music

10th March 2026L Chisholm

This year year 2 are looking at songs with a call and response structure.  This involves using listening skills to hear when it’s our turn to sing and responding to what we have heard.  Our favourite call and response song at the minute is ‘Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?’ As you can probably see we are very animated in our calling and responding!

Masters of Money!

10th March 2026L Chisholm

This week we are looking at money and it’s value.  We played with the coins and worked out what coins we needed to make differing amounts.  We found that different coins can be combined to make amounts and that it is all about addition, which we love!

Coding Champions

4th March 2026L Chisholm

In our Learning Means The World theme Land Ahoy we have been looking at how coding helps the ships navigate using algorithms and programs.  We looked at block based programming and understood the concept of loops to make things move.  We worked together to programe our angry birds movements so that it could capture the naughty pig.  We were really good and understood how each block meant a different movement.
