Year 2 Blog

 Today we had lots of fun chopping up fruit to make smoothies. 

 We started our new art unit today looking at architecture. We talked about what architecture is and looked at some examples. We thought about architecture in our local area looking at Birds Eye views maps of Cowes to talk about the different shapes we could see. We then created sketch book pages of new and old architecture in the local area. 

 In geography we will be looking at a contrasting locality comparing it to the place we live in. We started looking at Jamaica,  We learnt a little bit about the country and then recapped on what physical and human features are in geography by sorting some. 

 Each half term we are going to focus on a different poem to read and try and learn. This half term our poem is The Rhythm of Life by Michael Rosen. We read the poem and talked about it before practising it with a partner and trying to perform it. 

 Before the Easter holidays we finished our DT unit all about food. We had designed our pizzas and finally got the chance to make them! We practised our cutting skills chopping up pepperoni, peppers, mushrooms  and ham. We then arranged the ingredients to make our pizzas look appetising before they were cooked in the oven. We then had the chance to taste them! Most of us thought our pizzas were delicious! We then evaluated our pizzas.
