Autumn 1 

Our first week in Year 2!

We started with our expectations and understanding what it looks like to be in Year 2. We discussed our school rules of ready, respectful and safe and what we would need to do to show this. 

Art

We then focussed on producing our self portraits for our whole school art project where we explored the artist Quentin Blake. We observed his art work and then had a go at recreating our own pieces using his strategy to create eyes, noses and mouths. We then used the skills to draw our self portrait in the style of Quentin Blake. Take a look at the results!

History 

In our history we will be exploring Florence Nightingale and her impact on the nursing world. During the first week we explored what we already knew about nursing and what we would see in a hospital today. We had a go at using some equipment and discussing new vocabulary.
