Dan and Paula

On Thursday afternoon we went to the Dan and Paula show. Dan told us lots of really funny stories and Paula taught us how to use simple shapes to make amazing pieces of art. We had a great afternoon. Pop into Room 15 and have a look at some of our drawings :)

Mrs Masters' Chickens

Yesterday Mrs Masters brought in 2 of her 5 chickens for us to look at. Their names were Toffee and Stormaggedon. We were allowed to touch them, they were very soft and fluffy. Stormaggedon was a little bit scared and we felt his heartbeat beating really quickly.

Chickens

We are learning about chickens. Mrs Manning sent us a letter asking if the Year 2 children could investigate if Meadowbank School is a good place for chickens to live. We have written reports on chickens and had a special visitor called Martin who answered our questions about owning and caring for chickens. Check back here to follow our chicken journey.

Creativity

We have been learning about creativity. Creativity is using your imagination to make something new. Ideas can come from you or other people. We are creative when we write stories, when we build things, when we do art, when we make shape pictures.

George, James and Natan made an aeroplane out of straws.

Uday and Harry created a city with shapes.

Charlie was creative on Kidspix.

Charlie created a Dinosaur diorama.

Ruby created a city out of recycled items.

Footsteps Dance

On Monday we started dance lessons. We learnt a dance called Cuban Pete and had a great time learning the different moves. Take a look at the video and see if you can follow along.
We are all looking forward to next Monday when we will learn another dance.
