Art and DT in Year 2

-

Year 2 have been working on a very special project! 

In preparation for our Class Gallery they have been creating beautiful 'Starry Night' landscape paintings inspired by Van Gogh. This involved a dabbing technique to create the painted background and a black silhouette of buildings in the foreground. There was also a lot of discussion about what they observed and they shared their opinions of the paintings.

They then decorated some wooden sticks to make a picture frame and have used the hacksaw to cut each one to the right length. Using tools safely is an important skill. Once they have been glued together, our gallery will be ready.... watch this space!

Bawdsey Day 2

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
