Recount writing

After all this snowy weather we finally got round to writing a recount about our school trip to the UEA Sportspark.

This was a free writing activity where the children had to be aspirational and think for themselves about what would make their writing 'sparkle'.

Many Dojo points were handed out and a few children took theirs to Mrs Theobald - she was very impressed!

PE Fun!

We do enjoy a good PE session where we practise our physical skills and use up some energy.

Today we were practising throwing and catching, particularly over arm throwing.

Some children felt that they needed a larger ball to begin with, but many managed to move on to, and accurately pass and receive, a tennis ball sized-ball!

We then applied our skills in a game of  'piggy in the middle'. During this activity we talked about 'sportsmanship' and the children complimented each other on their intercepting skills.

Art Galley

Thank you so much to our lovely parents for supporting their children by attending our art gallery.
This celebrated the end of our topic and created a real inspiration for learning.

We wrote researched artists to gather ideas, made masterpieces, wrote persuasive letters, made name / description cards and made non-fiction leaflets whilst working towards it.

Lots of super learning and some very proud children.

Bounce trip

What a fun and exciting day we have had!

We have enjoyed 3 super activities (table tennis, spring gymnastics and tennis outside) at the UEA Sportspark to launch our new topic 'Bounce'.

It was a very 'bouncy' all round and the children used many physical skills including; agility, balance, and coordination.

Masterpiece making

The end of our Muck, Mess and Mixtures creations.

The children have loved researching artists, getting inspiration, making and painting.

We look forward to showing you them at our Art Gallery on Tuesday 20th Feb straight after school.

Maths Cafe

What a wonderful Maths Cafe we had in Year 2 today!

It was lovely to see the children sharing with their grown-ups how they represent number in different ways. 

Thank you to those who left some lovely feedback, it is always nice to hear positive comments. 

Recreating the work of famous artists

We looked at 4 famous pieces of artwork this week and worked collaboratively to recreate them.

Each child had a 'piece' of a painting to recreate and we put them all back together like a puzzle.

We learnt about colour mixing, blending, brush strokes, and how to develop texture.

The finished pieces look amazing!
