Vincent Van Gogh is a famous painter. In his life time he only sold one painting out of the hundreds he produced. Now his paintings sell for millions. We looked at one of his most famous paintings ,Sunflowers then drew and painted our own version. They look amazing!
Quentin Blake is an illustrator and author . He drew the pictures for Roald Dahl 's books and for his own. For World Book Day we watched a video showing how he planned and drew the characters for one of his own books. We looked at examples of some of his work and then drew in a similar style.
We all went to the church for an Easter Service where we performed part of the Easter Story and some of us read the Easter Prayers we had written.We also made Easter cards and baskets. Happy Easter everyone.
Year 2 had yet another fab day at the farm exploring the orchards and the trees, sketching the cows and making animal faces out of natural objects such as leaves, twigs and stones. Once again we got quite muddy but it was lovely to be out in the fresh air seeing evidence of spring.
We had a fantastic lesson retelling the story of 'George 's Marvellous Medicine' using our magical story path. The children did a fabulous job of retelling the story in their own words.
Last Thursday was World Book Day and we had some amazing visitors in Year 2! Fantastic Mr. Fox and Mr. Twit, who must have heard we were reading Roald Dahl stories this term, arrived closely followed by Professor Dumbleton, Mr Bump and many more favourite story characters. Mrs Thomas was The Worst Witch for the day but managed not to turn anyone into a frog!
