Researchers in action
Year 2 were researchers in their English lesson today. They used iPads to find information about deforestation, in preparation for writing their persuasive letter to the giants. They recorded their findings on post-its before having a class discussion about their research.
Feature Magpies
We started a new genre today, a persuasive letter. We looked at examples and found the features, discussing what they mean. We did a great job!
Impressionist Art
We spent our Computing lesson using a painting programme to create our own Impressionist Style artwork. Look at this wonderful example: Night Sky by Izzy
Dough people
Today we set our Funky Fingers the challenge of making a dough person, they did a fantastic job, what do you think?
