Y2/3 Sapphires
Our current topic is "Violent Volcanoes". We have been exploring the abstract textural art of acclaimed artist Frank Bowling, and, after experimenting with hot/cold colour mixing, and collage, we created our own abstract textured artwork representing "The idea and feeling of a Volcano". We had GREAT FUN exploring different ways of applying and thickening paint , trying to avoid using brushes, and even added dental plaster to our creations to add more texture. (Miss Burrough is still tidying the classroom!!!)
Learning Overview Summer Term 2023
In Science we are studying Rocks, so we learnt about the layers inside our Earth by making a model of the inner core, outer core, mantle and crust.
As part of our 'Book Week' work of "Du Iz Tak?", we made insect art using only scissors.
We had a Prehistoric Feast, researching, sampling and critiquing food from the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age.
For Literacy work on 'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth' we tried following instructions to make our own woolly mammoth. Since we ended up with very varied results, despite following the same instructions, e worked out how the instructions could have been improved to be clearer.
Before writing our own instructions on "How to Wash a Sabre-Toothed Tiger", we role-played how tricky it could be, to ensure our instructions would provide all the necessary safety features! Cleaning teeth proved to be particularly dangerous, and coaxing reluctant Tigers back into the bath-tub was rather taxing...
We learnt how houses changed in Britain during prehistory and had a go at building some in DT using connecting techniques.
To start our 'Changes in Britain from the Mesolithic to the Iron Age' topic, we began by zooming back in time to the Mesolithic and Neolithic times. We took a trip around Buriton to explore whether it would be a good place to set up a temporary or permanent settlement, deciding whether the landscape could provide us with the resources we needed to survive.
Learning Overview Spring Term 2023
We learnt about the Titanic, investigating the question 'Why were so many lives lost?'
We made pictures of the Titanic by trying monoprinting with carbon paper
The Pirates of the good ship Sapphires took over the school! We went on a (VERY wet) Treasure Hunt, following clues around the village.
When we returned to school, we had lots of Piratey fun ...
Exploring the materials in a Pirate's Chest
