Class 2 News
Our first week back
Class Two have been studying swimming pool Pop Art by David Hockney. Before doing their own David Hockney swimming pool artwork, the children thought about what actions a swimmer might make; how their hair might fan out in the water and the patterns the water makes in a swimming pool. They used oil pastels to create a swimmer and water patterns, then washed over it all with blue watercolour. They found that the oil pastels resisted the watercolours. Class Two have also enjoyed dissecting a daffodil to examine the parts of a flower.
Collaborative Art Project: Courage, Ambition & Kindness.
This week all children took part in 2 days of collaborative art led by the artist Kate Johnston, to create two beautiful school banners. These banners are inspired by our new school vision.
Along with our 3 words courage, ambition & kindness.
The children were actively involved in drawing, printmaking and sewing. All the words, phrases and drawings were created by the children linked to Clun River and their understanding and interpretation of our vision and 3 words.
Guided by Kate’s artistic skills the children have worked to brilliantly together to create these powerful and striking pieces ready to be sewn together to create 2 distinctive banners. The finished banners will be displayed in the hall and entrance way in the new year.
Santa came to Clun
The sound of bells could be heard in Clun on Wednesday, to our surprise we had a special visitor waiting in our reception… it was Father Christmas!
The children were so excited to see Santa and tell him about their Christmas preparations – just look at the joy on their faces!
Santa told us all the tasty treats he and the reindeer like to eat on their special journey around all the children’s houses on Christmas Eve.
Christmas is coming…
We have had a magical day today celebrating Christmas.
From seeing Santa, to our Christmas party, to the amazing artwork produced by the children. Definitely a day to remember!
Mosaic Art
This week in art, Class Two have explored using different objects to create effective mosaics, based on their topic The Romans.
A lovely way to finish our much enjoyed topic!
Class 2 & 3 Nativity
The Christmas message and spirit came alive today when Class 2 & 3 performed their Nativity play. We hope you have heard all about it from your children and you enjoy sharing the photos below with them.
Science Experiment Using Our Reflector Detectors
Class Two have been busy experimenting what makes a good reflector.
The children explored different objects, textures and surfaces to conclude their findings.
Next week, the children will be learning about why certain properties of shapes help light reflect better than others.
Learning to Look After Our Teeth
Over the last couple of weeks, Class Two have been learning about how to look after their teeth. The children learnt why it is important to look after their teeth and essential tips for caring for them.
The children decided to create posters to help share their wisdom across the school. As there were so many brilliantly helpful posters, we decided to have a vote to decide which posters should go up in the school corridors. Each child had two votes (strips of yellow post-it). The children had to vote for the poster they thought was informational as well as effective in catching the audience’s eye.
Have a look at the superb posters and see if you learn a thing or two!
One small step for… Class 2
This week Class 2 have been delving deeper into their space topic.
This week they have been role playing being applicants for a space mission!
They took it in turns to interview each other, asking in-depth questions about the ‘candidates’ attributes, skills and whether they have what it takes to be an astronaut!
