World Maths Day

Class 2 had an active maths lesson to celebrate World Maths Day. We have been focusing on our X2, X5 and X10 times table this week in class so to demonstrate our understanding we completed lots of activities based on our times tables. The children had to bounce a ball 5 times, throw a bean bag in the air 10 times and pass a ball to each other 2 times. We also completed a times table race where the children had to run to a hoop and get a question then run to another hoop to locate the answer…. As you can see it did get windy! The children enjoyed running around the yard trying to match their question to an answer.

 

Testing stability in Design Technology

Class 2 are going to design and make a new chair for Baby Bear. Before we can make anything, we discussed the importance of having to do research and test which shape would be the most stable for chair legs. Our research continues…



Expressive Painting

This term the children have been looking at ‘Expressive Painting’ and the artwork of Charlie French. The children painted three backgrounds in primary colours. Once these had dried they applied another colour, using various home made tools to apply paint in abstract patterns. We discussed ways we could drag paint across the page to create marks. The children were inventive with their design ideas.






Baby Bear’s Chair

The children showed some excellent GEM POWERS during our DT lessons with their teamwork and collaboration as well as resilience. The children thought about which structure would provide the most stability for their chairs. Some children changed the materials they wanted to use whilst others changed their designs. We had chairs, sun loungers and even tables! We discussed the importance of evaluating our final creation to decide whether next time we would make changes to improve our chairs.






Brush Work of Van Gogh

The children looked at the brush work of Van Gogh today and tried to recreate it themselves using acrylic paints. We learnt that the word

“Impasto” describes paint when it is applied so thickly onto the canvas that it remains raised.





2D Shape

Class 2 have been looking at the properties of 2D shapes this week. We used matchsticks to create the shapes so we could look at them & then count how many sides and corners the shape had.
