Last term,P2a went on an outdoor walk around our school garden. We discovered that there were apple trees growing! Some of the apples were ripe and had fallen to the ground. We collected some and took them back to class. Then we looked closely at them and noticed the different colours. Some were green, some red, some a little yellow and some had a mixture of colours.

P2 then explored blending techniques with paint.  We created our own 3D apple paintings!

So delicious and yummy!

Last term P2a were learning about farming. We looked at wheat and how it grew and was harvested. We found out about different foods that were made from wheat too.

Then we studied the painting – wheatfields with crows by Van Gogh.  P2a used oil pastels to create their own version of the painting.  We enjoyed using this different type of media, even though our fingers got messy!

Have a look at our wonderful wheat fields!

Last term our topic was toys.  As part of this topic we completed a homework challenge to make our own toys.

Look at our fabulous inventions!

In writing we are learning to write imaginative stories.  Last week we created our own stories about building a snowman that came alive!

What fun we had making up exciting stories!

Using this theme we created our own pictures of a snowman using finger painting.

We have not completed them yet, however here’s a peek at some so far!

We have been learning all about adding.

We have been practising adding 2 groups of things together.  We have been practising our counting on strategy too.  We know that this can help us get the answer faster!

We have been making addition colouring pictures and we have created butterflies with number stories. These activities were great fun!
