Year 2 have been using a website called Code.org to help us understand how algorithms work. We have had fun completing lots of puzzles. Some puzzles require us to use loops in our programs to control the different on-screen characters.
This week we carried out some experiments and found out that using warm water and soap is the most efficient method for removing oil and dirt from our hands. We also took part in a test, where we wanted to find out how easily germs spread, by using glitter and playing games with different objects that we passed around between

We learned how to find missing numbers in a calculation and became ‘Number detectives’. We enjoyed working with a partner to solve problems and dance to our counting songs to practise counting in twos, fives, tens and
We played a really fun Kahoot quiz in our history lesson, to practise our retrieval skills and see of we could remember our learning about ‘The Greatest Explorers’. We had so much fun!
