Artwork to hook us into our expedition

Check out some of the awesome art and crafts we have completed so far this week to immerse us in our new expedition.  The children have shown such creativity, independence and most importantly a crew approach, where they have supported each other to produce their best work.

Class 9’s journey

Today we began to explore the story ‘journey’ which is story told only through pictures. .  The children loved watching the images as a video to music on the screen and made some excellent inferences based on what they saw.  The children enjoyed designing vehicles to overcome some of the obstacles that the little girl faced during her journey.

Well done everyone.  Your creativity and enthusiasm was fantastic to see today! 🙂

 

Class 9 learning legends are…

Well done Flyn and Edward on your first day back in Year 2. You have both been fabulous and have impressed me with your attitude to learning and amazing reading.  Keep up the hard work! 😀

Fabulous Friday in Crew Jackson

What a fabulous Friday we had in Crew Jackson. We became authors for the morning, exploring day and night and what the sun and moon see.  The children thought carefully about the adjectives they could use and went on to write their own little books.  Ia m super proud of each and every one of them as they were all Have ago Henry’s.

Big shout out to Lucas who was our learning legend for his book about the moon.  He even went on to make his own book about Pokemon during Funky Friday Time.

Congratulations to Jacob who was our ‘Out of this World’ winner this week. What an amazing start to Year 2 he has made with an outstanding attitude to learning.

Moon Zentangles

What an awesome day we have had in Crew Jackson today!  The children really impressed me with their concentration and careful attention to detail when producing moon themed zentangles.  They used the knowledge they had gained from our previous lesson about the phases of the moon and included these in their design.

Massive shout out to Kizzi who used ideas from the examples we looked at together at the start of the lesson.  Other children were then inspired by Kizzi’s ideas and when critiquing magpied these into their own designs this afternoon.

Super maths work today

Well done Class 9 on your awesome maths learning today with Mrs Miller.  I know you worked really hard to recall your place value of 3 digit numbers and used this to help you use the greater and less than symbols to order the numbers. I love that you remembered the crocodile always eats the bigger number and this made for some fab symbols!

Keep up the super work you are doing :))

Awesome learning legends

A big shout out from Mrs Miller this afternoon for Ryla and Lilly who were Learning Legends at following instructions and creating their hot air balloons pictures.

Congratulations girls!

Starry night artwork by Class 9 little stars

Check out some of the amazing artwork produced by Class 9 this morning.  After critiquing Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry night, the children used  a mix of pastels, chalks and crayons to recreate their own starry night masterpiece.  I am super proud of all my little artists and I can’t wait until the others are finished later this week.

Class 9 learning legends

A big shout out to Annis and Jacob for their awesome writing and reading today. I am so impressed with their use of phonics to sound out words they want to use in their written work and their blending when reading.

Keep up the hard work!
