In literacy this week, we have written a whole five part, adventure story of our very own. We focused closely on the story structure, using a paragraph for the introduction, build-up, climax, resolution and ending. As we wrote we tried our hardest to include both our targets for writing and our newly learnt sentence structure skills such as: using adverbs; adventurous verbs and adjectives; conjunctions to add detail; adverbs and conjunctions for time; fronted adverbials and even some onomatopoeias.
Maths
We have been enjoying our new unit on shape as we name and identify and describe 3-D shapes using their properties. Ask us about the descriptive vocabulary we have been using. It's all very impressive!
Art
In Art, have been learning how to build up layers of acrylic paint and paint upon different surfaces such as canvas. We have been agitating the paint to create texture as we produce our pieces of work influenced by the natural contours of the land, whilst working in response to the artist Patrick Heron. Be sure to check next weeks blog for some examples of our work.
Science
Year 3 have been continuing our experiments with light as we looked at how light behaves when hitting smooth shiny surfaces such as mirrors. We completed some challenging task as we learnt all about reflections.
Don't forget to check the Mrs Cryan's page for all the latest year 2 science news.
In other news...well done Oliver for achieving Wonderful Work this week for adopting a fantastic 'can-do' attitude towards his learning and producing a high standard of work all week. Finally, thank-you to all of those who donated money to children in need this Friday. We all looked fantastic in our spots.
