Computing: Virtual Bee-Bots
This week, Class 2 have completed lots of new and exciting learning including starting our new virtual Bee-Bot computing unit.
In computing, the children got to know a Bee-Bot as a new virtual device. They tinkered with the buttons of a Bee-Bot to see what they do, we predicted, tested and reviewed our thoughts.
Class 2 had time to explore virtual Bee-Bots navigating them across an alphabet mat to spell their names and around a race track.
Well done Class 2 on your hard work and great attitudes to learning this week!

D&T Making Smoothies
This week, Class 2 have worked very sensibly and well on our D&T Making Smoothies topic.
This week we learnt how to prepare fruit for smoothies by cutting it, peeling and by using a juicer to extract the juice.
Then, the children tasted different fruits followed by a planning and designing task for their own smoothie.
Finally the children created their own smoothies and tasted them.
What a fantastic D&T filled week we have had and what delicious, fruity smoothies Class 2 made. Well done everyone on your hard work!
