Class 2

Class 2 

Class 2 have been covering everything in spots. The children have practised their printing skills by making a range of pieces that required them to print dots. We focused on the technique of pressing down and lifting up to ensure we achieved a clear print.

Expressive Art and Design
Class 2 have been looking at colour. We have thought about how different colours make us feel and have discovered what happens when we mix primary colours together.
We have looked at the work of Joan Miro who often used bold, bright shapes entwined with black lines and symbols in his paintings. This then inspired us to create our own version by sticking coloured shapes on a large piece of paper and then rolling a dice to decide whether we added a spiral, star or wavy line

Wild Wednesday
The children have enjoyed exploring the local environment looking for signs of Autumn. We collected lots of natural resources that we then used to create interesting transient art pictures. The children made various representations of people and animals linked to the seasonal story of ‘Leaf Man’. The children have also utilised the abundance of fallen leaves to make a variety of autumnal prints. 

Physical Development
Class 2 has been developing their movement skills through a range of fun and imaginative activities. They thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a skipping workshop, learning to bounce over the rope with growing confidence. The children also brought the story Rosie’s Walk to life by moving over, under and around different pieces of equipment, just like Rosie the hen! They explored how to move like a clucking hen or a sneaky, cunning fox, using their bodies to express the story through movement and play.
