Throughout December, 2nd class had lots of fun getting ready for Christmas. We made beautiful outdoor decorations for the yard, we turned into fashion designers and created real outfits and we made beautiful decorations for the yard. A highlight of our PE was our gymnastics circuits! In late December we had a visit from Santa, made some tasty treats and even had a pj day! Here are some of the snaps of our December highlights.
It was science week in November! To celebrate this we experimented with electricity, making working circuits. We used bulbs, buzzers, wires and battery packs. After all the children got their circuits working, they were tasked with the challenge of creating a working lighthouse. Here are some of our very creative creations.
Over the past three weeks, 2nd class have been very creative! We have looked at patterns and lines using paper cuttings, charcoals and paint.
Firstly, everyone made a funky self portrait of themselves using bright colours.
Then, after a fun activity of drawing our friends (without looking at the paper!) 2nd class picked someone in the class and used charcoals to draw the back of their head. We focused on the lines that we could see. They used smudging techniques to blend the harsh charcoal lines.
In our final week of looking at lines, we used random classroom objects (lids, crayons, egg cups, straws, pegs) to create inventive marks. After everyone trialed what sort of marks they could make individually, 2nd class worked as a team with the other children at their table groups to create weird and wacky aliens.
