They performed very confidently, telling the younger children all about their Gruffalo hunt. They sang the Gruffalo song and the whole school joined in. They have also been listening to and learning The Ning Nang Nong by Spike Milligan.

This week in maths, Form 2 have been using a number line to subtract digits. They also have been playing interactive games on the board and they have used the dienes to identify place value. They loved playing the games and I am very impressed with their perseverance and hard work.

In science, the children have been learning about their eyes and the function of the eye.  Form 2 enjoyed looking at their eyes and they looked at the exterior of their eyes using mirrors. They were very interested and keen to talk about how blind people cope with everyday life. The children pretended that they were blind and they gave instructions to their partner to walk across the other side of the room. It was very difficult and they all agreed that being blind must be extremely challenging.

During computing, the children continued to pretend to be a BeeBot by giving clear instructions. They moved around the room using forwards, backwards, right and left. The children had to get from one location to another without touching their partner.
