Year 2    Learning Update

Central idea: Artforms can be used to express ideas and feelings.

It has been a busy and exciting start to the new term! We have had lots of fun and the children continue to demonstrate what fantastic learners they all are. We began our inquiry by delving into three different types of artforms, including a dance workshop which the children all really loved. They explored streetdance, ballet, salsa and finally bollywood. In art we have started experimenting in the style of Kandinsky who was a pioneer in abstraction.

In maths we have been continuing our strategy of addition and subtraction focusing on looking at exchanging, thinking of our place value of tens and ones.

In English, the children have been planning a balanced argument linking into artforms, discussing for and against art being the most important of these artforms.
