Neurodiversity Celebration Week

A huge thank you to Mr Boyd for hanging our neurodiversity umbrellas! Neurodiversity is an umbrella term used to refer to all of the different ways of thinking.

We had a real life rocket engineer speak to us this week, he answered our questions about rockets and what it takes to be an engineer. We will keep practicing our science and maths!

Year 2 Music

This week 2D and 2S combined together to learn yet song: The Music Man. We loved adding actions to the music and moving to the beat.

Another element of science week is computing. This week we looked at robots. We programmed the robots to move based on the colours they register.
