In maths this week, we learnt how to sort 2D shapes into different categories such as; 4 sides or less than 4 sides, yellow shapes or red shapes and vertices or no vertices.

WEEK 1: We made melted snowmen cookies! First, we mixed some icing sugar for the melted snow. Next, we stuck a marshmallow on top for the snowman’s head. Then, we decorated the snowmen to bring them to life. Finally, we enjoyed eating them!
Over the past three weeks, the children have created a sunset and winter tree silhouette. They first painted a graduated sunset background and then added hills and mountains before adding a silhouette of a bare, winter tree.
2C were challenged to paint a composition using a given template where they had to first mix three secondary colours and then paint using both primary and secondary colours to complete their work. They tried hard to place colours next to each other which looked pleasing to the eye.
We have had the BEST time rehearsing for the Christmas play and we thought you would like to see these photographs of the children in their costumes.
In 2C’s Art project called Mix It, the children have been learning about primary and secondary colours. In this lesson we made a printing block out of clay, which we added texture and pattern to, before printing. We printed using only primary colours and then looked at the secondary colours we had created as they overlapped.
2C are learning why washing their hands is a very important job to remember. We carried out an investigation with glitter and vegetable oil to show how germs can be spread from person to person and object to object. We hope that this has helped them to understand why we nag them to wash their hands!
We have been exploring 2D and 3D shapes and recognising their features.
WEEK 4: We decorated cupcakes with icing sugar, winter/Christmas cake toppers, marshmallows and reindeer sprinkles. We really enjoyed making and eating these!
