Please enter an introduction for your blog post here.The children have been developing their ball skills, focusing on how to stop a ball effectively and how to perform a controlled dribble. They have practised applying these skills both independently and as part of a team, building their coordination, control and cooperation in a range of activities.

In Computing this half-term, the children have been developing their understanding of animation techniques. Using the principle of onion skinning, they planned and created their own animations featuring the world's oceans and continents. This project enabled them to build key digital skills, including sequencing, editing and refining animations, while also reinforcing their prior learning in Geography from earlier in the year. The children demonstrated creativity and perseverance as they brought their ideas to life through animated presentations.

Once they had developed confidence with the software and animation techniques, the children designed and created their own sea creatures using JiT. They then applied the onion skinning technique to produce smooth animations, bringing their creatures to life as they swam through the oceans.

Y2 enjoyed Number Day 2026 by learning their 2, 5 and 10 times times table facts. They participated in the BBC's Number Blocks live lessons and played games where they had to use their knowledge of these tables to create their own number day monster.

We had a visit from Urban Devotion to explore our feelings. We talked about how all feelings are normal, even those which we don't like. The children discuss strategies to help them with the difficult feelings.
