Another busy week in Year 2. The children really enjoyed their bushcraft session. They worked really hard in art, discussing the work of Jackson Pollock and creating their own Kandinsky painting. The children used all the colour techniques: mixing primary colours to make secondary colours, creating tints and creating shades. They have also been writing instructions on ‘How to trap a wolf’, their ideas were amazing and they wrote brilliant instructions.

Week 1
Happy New Year!
It has been so lovely to see how well the children have settled back into school after the Christmas break. They have enjoyed sharing all about their Christmas news. They have enjoyed their cycling session and they were delighted when a penguin was left in our classroom with a lost label on, they were able to come up with great questions to ask him.
We have begun our Geography topic asking the question ‘Why can’t penguins fly.’ The children have been fascinated learning about Antarctica, we are sure they can tell you all about what they have learnt.
