Art and IPC

Recently we've been doing lots of art linked with our IPC topic 'Structures'. In these photos you can see us using a scraping technique to make the shapes for a cityscape. Once these painted backgrounds are dry we will add detail (doors, windows, ladders, aerials) with black felt pens. Watch this space for pictures of our finished work.

Learning about the Gauls

In preparation for our visit to the Village Gaulois we have been learning about the Gauls and the Celts. Here are some pictures of us in teams deciding which facts we think are true and which false.

IST and DST Easter activities

Today Y2 have been working with the class 1 in DST. Children from IST worked with children from DST to design a pattern for an Easter Egg. Next week we will meet again to use these designs to make a collage.

Here is our storytelling: 

Alec Williams visits Y2!

On Monday Alec worked with Year 2 teaching us lots of stories and sharing some very funny poems with us. He also gave us some tricky riddles to solve. We went away and tried to remember and learn the story called 'Monkey see, monkey do'. Working as a team helped us to remember all the different events in the story so we could retell it in our own words.

Our 'Pumpkin Soup' stories

We innovated our own stories based on Helen Cooper's Pumpkin Soup. Here are some examples:
