Our Year 2 learners were keen to show who could be the quickest to name the animals in French.
We've been working hard on our pronunciation by breaking the words down into chunks before building them back up again.
Year 2 learners explored how music can tell a story by reading a graphic score that depicts the journey of a train. They learned to follow symbols representing different sounds, such as chugging wheels, whistles and fast-moving sections. Working together, they used their voices to perform each part in sequence, building confidence as they matched the shapes on the score to the changing moods of the train’s journey.
