What a busy half term it has been!  In English, we have been reading the text 'The Lonely Beast'. First we did some drama activities to help us understand the characters and what it feels like to be lonely.  We then created some jellyfish poems to describe the jellyfish he met on his adventure. 

Lastly, we wrote a non-chrological report about the Beast so we can inform everyone else what a kind and friendly creature he really is.  We displayed our work alongside Year 1's reports on Beegu:

In art we have been learning about colour.  We had fun mixing primary colours to make secondary colours:

We mixed colours to paint a hot air balloon.  We then experimented with adding white to a colour to make tints - we used this technique to created a sky background for our hot air balloon to be floating in.  Next we had a go at weaving paper and used this to make a basket of the hot air balloon.  Finally, we used collage to put our picture together:  Here are our final pieces of work: 

Year 1 and 2 have worked very hard rehearsing for our Christmas show called 'Lights, Camel, Action.' We enjoyed performing it to the school and our families.  Here are a few pictures of our performance:

We had lots of fun leading up to Christmas.  We made beautiful Christmas cards for our families.  We created them by sewing and we all learnt how to do a running stitch without getting ourselves into knots!

Lastly, we had fun at our Christmas party playing lots of fun party games:
