Year 2 experience: making a collage

Last week, Year two had an art day. An artist visited the school and the children worked on making a collage about Christopher Columbus. They used different materials to create their collage.

Researching Christopher Columbus in Cedar

In year two our topic this term is Fantastic Explorers. We are learning about Christopher Colmbus. The children used iPads to research and found out many interesting facts.

"Did you know that Colmbus did not discover America", Summer Rose - this is a common misconception that everyone in Cedar class knows is not true! 

Cedar Star Writer

Congratulations to Olivia Crane who won star writer in Cedar this week. Olivia has been working hard on her sounds and was able to produce a wonderful story about Christopher Columbus. Olivia added lots of adjectives to give her writing more description and make it more exciting! Well done Olivia!

Cedar bake cupcakes

As part of Maths last week the children in Cedar have been baking! 

Last week we studied weight. The children got to weigh out the exact ingredients in order to make their cupcakes! They made sure the scales started on zero, otherwise there might have been some funny looking cakes! 

"It's so sticky!" Alex Kopiec.

"We need to make sure it's accurate" Fayo.

Year 2 Experience: putting up a tent

Year 2 completed their one of their experience this week which was 'Putting Up A Tent'.

The children had to work together, showing one of our four values - reciprocity. 

"I'm pushing it through", Grace.

Once the children had set up the tent, they set up camp inside.

"We've made a door so we are safe", Tyler.

We are looking forward to our next experience, which is to make a collage. 

Pine star writer: Keira

Congratulations to Keira- star writer of the week!

Keira wrote her own version of 'about a bear' and she carefully sounded out her words using her phonic knowledge to help her. She used some excellent vocabulary including adjectives and rhyming words. Great effort, Keira! Keep up the beautiful writing!
