Swans enjoyed learning about the festival of Diwali through making coconut barfi to share with their families, manipulating clay to make a diva lamp and creating temple artwork.

Over the past few weeks, Swans class have been learning about maps. They designed their own 2D fairytale land maps before creating fantastic 3-D versions. The children investigated three different types of animal waste: One from a herbivore, one from an omnivore and one from a carnivore. They then predicted what animal may have produced each ‘poo’. This week, Swans Class have been learning about food chains. To do so, they investigated different animal's pretend 'poo' to find clues as to what sort of animal they were - herbivore, carnivore or omnivore. The children collected autumn leaves to inspire their artwork. They explored observational drawing techniques and experimental mark making of leaves, followed by an immersive exploration of colour and scale using wax crayons and Brusho powder paint. Swans have really enjoyed their first two sessions this year with Gary at the courts at Bicclescombe Park. They have recapped ball skills and how to throw the tennis ball, as well as using their rackets to start low on the ground then swing it over their shoulders to hit the ball. The children had a fantastic day at Watermouth Castle. They explored the castle and the grounds and enjoyed the different rides and play area. Swans worked at a team so well this year, cheering, supporting and racing. All the hard work paid off and they won the year 2 sports day. Wow! What an amazing day. Swans class have voted this to be their best trip ever. We had a wonderful time at Skern Lodge in Appledore. We worked as team on the assault course and then we all zoomed on the zip wire! In the afternoon we enjoyed swimming and the tunnels, crawling around underground. |
