Robot algorithms in Year 2
We have had great fun this week learning all about algorithms.
Now we can program our robots to make them move in different directions and do particular tasks like scooping up a football and scoring a goal in the hoop.
We have learned how to follow a friend’s program and say what will happen and where the robot will end up. And we can also test a program and spot where it has gone wrong and debug it.
Friday 14th November - Year 2 welcomed their families in this morning to watch their class assembly. The children performed their assembly brilliantly, all about the Great Fire of London.
Year 2 have been working on a brilliant poem called Flicker. It is linked to our topic: The Great Fire of London.
�� The Year 2 children confidently recited the poem using expressive voices and clever actions, bringing the words to life with real flair.
�� They then worked collaboratively to find instruments that matched the theme and mood of each line—thinking carefully about how they sound.
�� Finally, they performed the piece beautifully, playing their chosen instruments at just the right moments and following their group’s graphic score carefully.
Mrs Grant and I are so proud of their efforts!
The children looked at Psalm 139:1-4 and discussed its meaning. They then listened to a song by Bernadette Farrell called ’O God, You Search Me’ which is based on this Psalm and created their own actions and responses to the words. Click here to see the video.
