Year 2 have been working really hard to create textile minibeasts. We have used sewing and embellishment techniques.

As part of our Seaside topic, Jack from the Elephants class designed a fish on Purple Mash. He used a range of textured pens and was able to vary the size of the pen. It looks FIN-tastic!
In Year 2, we have been designing minibeasts for an Art project. This week, we have made templates, cut out the different parts of fabric and pinned them onto a backing fabric. Next week, we are using our sewing skills to stitch it all together.
Year 2 have continued their textiles project by designing minibeasts that they will sew using felt and a range of embellishments. Lewis from the Giraffes has designed a bee, caterpillar and ladybird, planning to use felt, sequins, buttons and embroidery.

In Year 2 we have been exploring a storybook called The Dark. Annabelle from the Squirrels created a lovely piece of work that describes and draws what she thinks the dark would be like if it was a person.
In Year 2 we have been learning about time. Adam from the Squirrels has shown his ability to recognise and draw o’clock, quarter-past, half-past and quarter to.
This week, children in Year 2 have been designing and making Mug Pizzas! The brief was to design a quick and healthy snack. We learnt about the different food groups and have learnt the skills of grating and chopping. The Mug Pizzas are delicious too!
As part of our healthy eating DT project, a child from the Elephants class created healthy breakfast frittatas using a variety of cooking and cutting skills. They look delicious!
As part of their Design Technology learning, Isabella from Giraffes designed and made a space themed picture with moving mechanisms. It has a lever, wheel and slider mechanism.
