Antibullying Week

Year 2 take bullying seriously and have made a fantastic

book for Anti-Bullying Week 2015.  We made a poster using the computer with messages about bullying and what to do.

Our book is in our class should you wish to have a look.

Great Fire!

A few boys in our class have made some fantastic Tudor houses that have been set alight.  They needed to cover the shoe box with white paper.  Then, they cut some black sugar paper into strips and glued them onto the box.  Next, the boys cut out some flames and put them onto the house.

Great Fire of London!

Wow! Look at our collage skills.  We have recreated the Great Fire of London using sugar paper and tissue papers.
The effects are excellent. 

We Remember

 











This week, Year 2 have been learning about the importance of Remembrance Day.  We read 'Flanders Field' and created our own poem.  Next, we went to St. Leonard's Church to look at the Lytchgate which was erected in dedication to men of the parish that lost their lives in the World Wars.

Scottish food, music and dance.

Year 2 enjoyed a last day of school with a mini Scottish party which involved sampling some Scottish treats.
Scottish porridge
Scottish shortbread biscuits
Scotch pancakes

Yummy!

We then listened to some traditional Scottish music and celebrated by doing our Scottish country dancing.  A lovely day to break up for the October half term.  Have a fab time.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Another fab art work.  We looked at Charles Rennie Mackintosh last week (a Scottish artist).  We looked at using different textures to recreate some of his art nouveau work.

We used coloured wool which we glued onto sugar paper.  The results were excellent!
