What a fabulous time we had in Doncaster at the South Yorkshire Air Museum! We started by seeing the oldest designs of gliders and planes before exploring aircraft designs through time, including bi-planes and Royal Air Force aircraft and drawing some of our favourites. Everyone enjoyed getting into some of the cockpits and using the controls! There was so much awe and wonder at the size of the jet powered planes and helicopters as well as the jet engines and missiles on display. We finished the day with a glider designing and flying competition before looking at the Air Force memorials.

We were very lucky to have a workshop when author Bethan Woolvin came to visit. Beth writes traditional tales but she twists the plot. After learnign about how she writes a story and show she does the illustrations, we made collages to go along side her book, Little Red. Bethan was really impressed by how Year 2 adopted the right style and how they placed the images considering colour and pattern -  we were proud of them too! Well done illustrators!

Printing has been great fun in Art! We showed your our first print blocks made with plasticine in our Assembly but since then we have created nature themed print blocks like William Morris. We used these organic shapes to print in symmery and with rotations. After looking at the colours used in William Morris' prints, we used paints to make a coloured print and then contrasted with black so the shapes stood out, leaving the nagative space in colour. Everyone was so impressed by the effects!
