We have continued with our art work and have been looking closely at maps.  We used a view finder to focus in on an interesting part of the map that contained many of the features we had been studying earlier in the term.

Next, we copied the details to create tiles with sections of the maps in…

Last week we had some more very special visitors.

Mrs Bell brought her cat to visit and Mrs Neilson’s dad brought his tortoise.

They were very well behaved but very different!  The cat liked to be cuddled and stroked and the tortoise enjoyed having a little walk around.

We have enjoyed…

In Year Two, we have been practising our peer critique.

Peer critique is when we talk about each other’s work and say how we think they could improve.

We used peer critique for our Humber Bridge drawing. Using images from our recent visit we had a go at drawing our first draft and after peer…

As a start to our art work today, we have been practising some of our pencil skills.  To begin with, we looked at different pencils with different tones.  When we write, we use a HB pencil which is medium hardness and then we looked at a 2B drawing pencil which is much softer, but can produce…

As our topic focus is Prehistoric Britain, we decided to create our own cave art that involved either animals or hunting. We are yet to see the finished product, but we have made a great start!

We have enjoyed meeting some different pets this week. We met Bella the dog, Gingerbread the cat and Michelle the tortoise. We found out lots about how to keep them happy and healthy. Which was your favourite pet and why?

This week we have learning about debating and presenting an argument.

we were considering how best to use the the site where Scartho Baths previously stood.

We came up with many valid arguments.

We then took part in a role play activity in our kagan groups. Here we are arguing for or…

We have been working really hard on our comparisons of Scartho and Tealby and this week we have finished our reports!

Each group has produced a booklet containing their likes, dislikes, changes from the 1800s to now, population and natural and man-made features.  Take a quick look at our…
