The children have been incredibly creative this week, in Art we have finished our final pieces of 'Frottage Collage' in which they drew and painted a water droplet, linked with our Global Learning Goal 'Clean Water and Sanitation'. They then added a range of 'frottage' through the form of rubbings around the classroom and school environment to add tone, tint and texture to their finished droplet.
In DT the children finished their final pieces of their mechanisms, they chose a character from our Class Reader 'The Lonely Beast' and decided whether they wanted to make their character into a Lever, using a pivot, or a slider, using a slot. The children's finished products looked fantastic and they were so proud to share their creations with you all today.
We loved having you all in this afternoon for Koinonia, the children were so excited to share their learning from this half term with you.
Thank you for all of your hard work and support, we look forward to welcoming the children back on the 24th February after a well earned rest.
Take care,
The Year 2 Team.
