In Computing today, we continued our 'Creating Pictures' unit of work by recreating pointillist art using Purple Mash -
We learnt that pointillism was a development of impressionism. It was invented mainly by George Seurat and Paul Signac. Pointillist paintings are created by using small dots in different colours to build up the whole picture. Colours are placed near each other rather than mixed.
Happy Sunday! We hope you have had a super weekend and are feeling ready for another week in Year 2.
The children have settled back into the Summer term amazingly! It was great to hear about all the things the children got up to during the Easter holidays.
This week we started a new unit in Maths all about fractions. We explored equal and unequal parts and looked at halves. In English we started a new book called 'The Dragon Machine'. Children are very engaged with this book and have written for a range of purposes already. In Science we took part in a whole school investigation which involved using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. Our focus was to record on a chart the height of the reaction.
The children also had their first swimming lesson this week and they were AMAZING. We were all so proud of how well the children did and they represented the school very well. We are looking forward to our lesson next week!
Just a reminder it is the Year 2 parent information session tomorrow at 9am in the staff room. We look forward to seeing you there.
See you in the morning!
