Amazing! We’ve now had 2007 comments on the Year 2 blog. Keep commenting please – the blog gets better and better if everybody contributes!

Wow! It’s done. I’m ready for a good night’s sleep and our film is finished. Well done to all of my wonderful class for producing something truly amazing for their age.

We premiered our film to some lovely children from 1KJ this aternoon, and they seemed very impressed. We talked to them before the film, sharing how we made our film. They had some great questions and I was very impressed with the way in which my class looked after the little ones! Here are some photos of the afternoon.

You will have to wait another hour or so for the full video I’m afraid! Keep checking…

Today we began the process of editing our Jack and the Beanstalk videos. We put together all our hard work from this half term – our storyboard photos, our recordings, artwork and creativity. It is not finished yet, but I was very impressed with the way in which my class got on with the job. Video editing is fiddly and technical, and they really took to it!

You will be able to see the finished product tomorrow… Enjoy!

Today we looked at our writing in lots of detail. We were checking some recent work and looking for things like how well we used dialogue, description and punctuation. We thought about whether our writing made sense, and whether we were joining our letters.

To help with this, we swapped books and looked at each others’ work too. Was it useful? What do you need to improve in your writing? Leave a comment.

2JS and 2HD online tomorrow… Keep checking!

I think it’s fair to say that we all know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk now… At least, I HOPE we do! We have had beanstalks coming out of our ears for the last 5 weeks, and are very nearly finished with our project. On Friday we will be putting our videos on the blog.

In the meantime, have a look at this fab video made today. What do you like about the way in which she re-tells the story? What is it that makes it so exciting and interesting? Leave a comment to let us know.

Wow! What a lot of hard work we have all done in the last few weeks. Today we finally finished and photographed our storyboards which means that we can start editing our film tomorrow in literacy. We don’t want to give too much away before our film premiere on Friday, but here’s a sneak peak at our storyboards without the characters… I am incredibly proud of the work which 2JS have been doing. Well done!

Can you see the characters perched up on out whiteboard too? It looks as though they all sorted out their differences in the end!
