Year Two Blog

Wow! What a lot of hard work we have all done in the last few weeks. Today we finally finished and photographed our storyboards which means that we can start editing our film tomorrow in literacy. We don’t want to give too much away before our film premiere on Friday, but here’s a sneak peak at our storyboards without the characters… I am incredibly proud of the work which 2JS have been doing. Well done!

Can you see the characters perched up on out whiteboard too? It looks as though they all sorted out their differences in the end!

Year 2 have been looking at natural shape and colour in their art this half term. They have produced some amazing work, and this week they looked at the artist William Morris. As a way of looking closely at his style, they chose a design that they really liked and drew it. The results are more amazing than I hoped! Great work year 2!

This week in art we have been looking at the work of William Morris. He took his inspiration from natural forms, shapes and colours. What can you find out about William Morris on the internet or using books? Leave what you find out as a comment here.

Check out this cool online painting programme. It’s a lot like Dazzle. When you have finished it, save it to your computer as a JPG file.

Can you upload a picture to the blog?

Well wonder no more! Here is a picture Jonah has been working really hard on. It is part of our art topic “Can Buildings Speak” where we look at buildings from around the world and think about how they make us feel. We would love to see links to pictures of interesting buildings as comments!

Here we are drawing our pictures. More to be added…

All the videos made by Year 2 can now be seen in the page at the top of your screen. Enjoy!

We really welcome comments about how we could improve our video. We are evaluating the project at the moment and would love to hear what you think. We hope you like it!

We are getting on brilliantly with our storyboards. How could we improve them? Comments please.

Jane’s website has some fantastic activities for children too. Why not have a look?

Adeel and Usamah worked really hard on their character study. Could you add some more sentences to describe the witch?
