Happy Mothers Day

27th March 2025Joshua Meade

Thank you to all the children and grown ups for a lovely term! The children shared the love and have made mother’s day cards! #LovePlover

2P have used our work on Dennis Wojtkiewicz to inspire us to produce watercolour paintings of different fruit cross sections. We worked extremely carefully and used different techniques and brushstrokes to create different effects. We did brilliantly!

preparing for our final product

26th February 2025Rebecca Bubb

Mrs Bubb modelled how to use the different resources. Then, we had a go at drawing flowers with each of them. We tried paint, oil pastels and felt tip pens. We discussed which we found easiest to use and which we thought looked best on our paper. We then chose which we would use to create our final product.

we are artists!

This week we have been looking at using emotion in our drawing. We practised drawing happy flowers, that grew tall from having lots of sun/water. Then we had a go at drawing sad, droopy looking flowers, that had not had everything they needed to help the, grow.

Beanstalk Crafts

14th February 2025Joshua Meade

This afternoon we noticed our broad bean and runner bean had started to sprout and the shoot was growing. Then we became scientists and used STEM to see who could build the tallest beanstalk… Check out their brilliant beanstalks! #LovePlover

Colour mixing

12th February 2025Amy Woods

Today we have been exploring colour mixing. We mixed yellow and blue together to create different shades of green, we then used the green we made, to paint leaves. We discussed how we can make the green paint darker/lighter, by adding more blue/yellow. Tomorrow we are going to practise cutting out our leaves, to create a collaborative beanstalk.

Planting cress

7th February 2025Amy Woods

Over the last two days we have been planting cress seeds. We drew faces onto our yogurt pots so that the cress can grow as hair. We are so excited to see how our cress will grow and change.

Yummy veggie fajitas

4th February 2025Mrs Lewis

As part of our expedition, Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me? 2L has been preparing food. We worked in small groups and carefully sliced peppers, mushrooms, and onions, as well as peeling and grating carrots and cheese. We then cooked the veggies and turned them into vegetable fajitas. They were yummy!
