Year 2
Year 2 recreated Wassily easily !
In art, the children have been learning about the artist Wassily Kandinsky and looking at his abstract art pieces. They recreated their own versions of his painting named ‘Squares with Concentric Circles’ using their colour mixing skills.

We remember, we rejoice and we share…
This week we had our first, long awaited church service to celebrate the harvest festival. It was wonderful to see the children enjoying the experience of singing hymns and contributing their work as part of the morning. Some of our Year 2 children were able to share their fantastic harvest poems and then later Reverend Sarah reminded us of the importance of sharing.
Make 100 !
In Maths, the children have been exploring how to regroup ten ones for one ten using base-10 equipment by playing the game ‘Make 100’. In pairs, they took turns to roll a ten-sided die and place that number of ‘ones’ cubes on a tens frame handout. They rolled the dice again and once one tens frame was full, pupils regrouped ten ones for a ten rod. They continued to roll the dice until they made 100 !

Throwing and Catching
In P.E. this week, we have continued to practise our throwing and catching skills. We enjoyed playing games using hoops and making up our own games with throwing a ball in a different direction and trying to catch it. The children used their growth mindset to challenge themselves to improve their own personal scores.

Mixing and Blending
In our art session this week, the children have been learning about how to use different techniques such as stippling, cross hatching and stumbling using oil pastels. The children chose three of their favourite techniques to create their own art pieces.
What a lot of drama !
This week, we had a drama workshop where the children had lots of fun taking part in lots of different activities.
The Past and the Present
In our history session this week, the children have been learning about how London has changed from the 17th century to today. We looked at different aspects such as transport, clothing, buildings.
