We have worked as a team to make the biscuit dough! We cut out our own star shapes and baked them!

In our Art lesson this week we have been learning to draw realistic trees. There have been some great efforts.

On a Friday our Year 2 children take it in turns to choose and read a story to the class before lunch. 

In art today we used the coil method to make a pot out of clay. 

We have had some special helpers in Class 4 today. Devon and Minnie were very popular and loved helping us with our Whole Class Reading.

In music today we have been learning to play the notes G A B on the glockenspiel. We played a variety of different tunes together and then we composed our own pieces in pairs. We made a lot of noise!

Well done Class 4! 

This week, to tie in with our space theme, we have been making our own 'Stary Night' inspired artwork! 

We carefully picked the right colours and tried to copy Van Gogh's swirling and circular brush strokes.
