The Big Draw 2012

 

THE BIG DRAW!

What a brilliant day we had today!

It was time for The Big Draw again at Featherbank and this year we have learned about the artist Paul Klee. Did you know that he taught himself to paint with BOTH hands?

Did you learn a lot? What did you enjoy doing the most? Please leave a comment to tell us what you enjoyed!



 

      Florence Nightingale

In history we have been finding out about who Florence Nightingale was and why we remember her. We have used the Internet and books to find out lots of information about her life. Everybody enjoyed our Florence Nightingale role-play areas. We hope you like our photographs!

Bramley Fall Woods

We had a fantastic trip to Bramley Fall Woods. We really enjoyed collecting leaves, acorns and other interesting things. The afternoon was spent looking closely at all the wonderful things we had collected. We made leaf prints, did some leaf rubbings, used magnifying glasses to look at the things in more detail and we even had a competition to see who found the smallest and largest leaves.

Crazy Portraits

 

We have really enjoyed making these crazy looking portraits out of old newspapers and magazines. We think they look fantastic!

What do you think?

Do you know a poem by heart?

 

What about your mum or dad, or one of your grandparents - did they learn a poem when they were little that they can still remember now?

Why not ask them!

Next week is Children's Book Week and on Thursday 4th October we will be celebrating National Poetry Day. We're hoping you will try to learn a poem and then come to school and perform it for your class.

 

There will be a special assembly on Thursday when we will hear poem performers from every class - will YOU be a Year 2 poetry star?
