2JV have had a busy last week of term.  They have been making some fantastic festive artwork.

Wishing everyone in 2JV and their families a relaxing break and a happy and healthy 2021!

This week, 2JV have finished their printing in art. They have created some fantastic patterned wrapping paper.

Year 2 have started to learn about fractions this week and can confidently identify half and one quarter of a shape and of a set of objects.

In Art this week, 2JV explored the work of Georges Seurat and his Pointillism style of painting.  With this new knowledge, we painted flags of Brazil to link to our Geography topic.

In Art this week,  2JV have been exploring patterns, following a repeated pattern and creating their own. Great work 2JV! 

In Geography this week, 2JV have been researching information about Brazil ready to write a fact file using their new knowledge.

This term 2JV are continuing their materials topic in Science.  This week we have been exploring how the shape of objects can be changed by twisting, stretching, bending and squashing.  We sorted everyday objects into group of how their shapes changed when we bent and squashed them.

2JV have been learning about Mary Seacole for Black History Month.  We started by researching information about her in ICT.  Then in history we made fact files and finally designed medals for her brave work.

 

We have been light detectives in science in 2JV this week. We searched for transparent, translucent and opaque objects in our class. We found a transparent ruler, a translucent piece of fabric and an opaque cupboard. We also tested different fabrics to find out which lets the least light through.

In 2JV this week, we have been talking about friendships and sorted behaviour pictures into friendly and unfriendly.  Then the children wrote friendship potions including what you need to be a good friend. They have been reminding each other about being kind.

2JV have been testing materials in science this week to find the most hardwearing fabric to make dungarees.  First they made a prediction, then they rubbed the materials on a brick to see how long it would take to make a hole and finally they recorded their results. They found that denim was the most suitable.

This week 2 JV have been designers.  They have shared ideas and started planning their glove puppets in DT.  They all look amazing and I am looking forward to seeing the puppets when they are finished.

This week 2JV have been making hand puppets as they start to explore therr new DT topic.
