Year 2 (Willow)

Summer Term Work

A Healthy Breakfast display created by Year 2, linking to their Science Topic "Health and Growth"

The children in Year 2 also wrote some poems on this topic and used their senses to write the poems. They also practised using alliteration. Here you can read Hana's, Arjun's and Daanyaal's breakfast poems.

Gunnersbury Park - 7th March 2008

Quotes from Willow pupils about the trip were:

"Victorian children only spoke when they were spoken to."
"The boys were more important than the girls."
"The sugar came in a big lump called a loaf."
"We all got a chance to do something."
"It was so different long ago, everything was done by hand. Their lives were like slaves. "
"People were very demanding and exact in those days."
"There were things we don’t have now like a washing dolly!!"
"There was a cold cupboard instead of a fridge. It had jelly in it"
"Cooking the meat was dangerous as the real fire could burn you."
"We went to Gunnersbury Park. It was fun. I picked up a heavy plate."
"Some of the Victorian ladies wore complicated gowns."

Special note for Mums and Dads.....

" The washing up was great fun!!! "

ICT - Spring Term

Willow really enjoy ICT lessons. We are currently creating computer art work based on pictures by Paul Klee.
	It may look easy but we have to learn to use lots of different tools to create the effects we need.
We each have a different picture to try to copy using the line and shape tools we can make blocks of colours and patterns. Paint tools let us add colour but should we use chalk, watercolour, tint or spray effects?
	We particularly like the smudging tool as the colours blend together.
