Class 2

We’ve been exploring block printing in art today.  Using our prior knowledge of primary and secondary colours, we had a go at block printing with Lego! 

We’ve been going back to basics this week and exploring basic sentence structures. The children matched their chosen subjects and verbs and added capital letters and full stops.

We had a great time experimenting in Science Tod. The children chose different materials based on their properties, to cushion the egg as it landed. They were very surprised when the metal bottle tops didn’t crack the egg! 

We have produced some wonderful artwork today.  Focusing on mixing primary colours to create varying shades of secondary colours, the children worked carefully and considerately to complete their pieces . 
 

The children had fun learning about primary and secondary colours this afternoon.  We painted our hands in two primary colours and then rubbed our hands together to watch the magic happen!

We’ve been doing lots of activities this week in our English lessons this week looking at common and proper nouns. The children enjoyed this sorting activity this morning.

Our PSHE lesson today looked at our special qualities. We took time to think and share what makes us all special and appreciate that we all have different qualities.

In D&T this afternoon we did some more work on our carp kites.  We talked about the Japanese meaning behind the carp, that of courage and strength and how in Japan the children make them for Children’s Day and  hang them outside their houses. 

Today we had a practical lesson after re reading our story. The children then worked in groups to order the sequence of events from our class read ‘Stuck’.

This lunchtime we did a take on batik, using our wax crayons to create an image that would resist the ensuing paint! The results were beautiful 🤩 

The children enjoyed a lovely music session with the fabulously talented Mrs Rock this morning.  They focused on finding the beat, copying rhythm and recognising then beating out the syllables in their names.

We were extremely fortunate in ‘show and tell’ this afternoon as Louis brought in a real antler found on Cannock Chase.  The children were enthralled to learn all about deer and to be able to touch a real antler!
