We have been inspired by art depicting water and waves, such as the work of Beth Krommes. After learning a variety of new mark- making shapes, we practised with different drawing media and to music, to vary the speed and style of water we were creating. We created textured backdrops using a variety of water-themed patches and then chose either paint, oil pastel or chalk pastel to create our final watery scene with techniques to show the changing colours water appears to have, the droplets and spray.

Some beautiful pieces, well done Year 2!

Have you heard your child talking about our special writing quests?  In Year 2 we receive letters from  a mystery Professor who contacts us with inventing, drawing and coding (writing) challenges through our portal. If we succeed in meeting the challenge in our writing, we earn a piece of treasure, which arrives in the portal, and we can progress along the Curious Quest map. The further we go, the more we are helping Professor Klunk to defeat the baddy, known as The Greap! Our Faithful friends - Rosa, Lovelace and Rembrandt - help us along the way. A huge cheer goes up when treaure arrives and we celebrate with a gad-about song! Mrs Dean and Professor Klunk have been really pleased with our effort and the sentences we are writing!
