Hello 2D

I hope that you have all had a lovely week and have been able to enjoy the sun. We have been thinking carefully about some new learning activities for you . We hope that you enjoy them.  Our new theme is Awesome, Amazing Animals. This week we want you to think about minibeasts.

Remember to upload your pictures and tell me what you have enjoyed the most. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

There are several links for this week’s learning activities. If you have problems downloading anything give school a call and we may be able to help.

Hello 2D

I’ve just been watching some online workshops about how to draw. I thought that you would really like this one about drawing birds. Click on the link.

Birds

If you draw some birds I’d really like to see them.

Happy drawing.

Hello 2D

I hope you are enjoying the sun. The year 2 team have been getting your home learning ready for next term. But before that here’s something for you to try.
At the moment we are keeping safe at home, which means we are unable to travel to see family, friends or to have a holiday.

Cockpit
If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why? Have a go at using adjectives to describe your destination. What can you see? What can you smell? What can you hear?
Ask your family members too.
Share your ideas on our class blog.
Safe travels.

Hi 2D

I just wanted to remind you about our Creative Arts Blog. You can follow the link on this post or you can use the link at the top of the page.

I’d love to see some photos of your creations.

Looking forward to seeing them soon.

Hello 2D

I know that you know all about the importance of birds and bees but do you know about any other creatures? One of my favourite garden heroes is the ladybird. Not only are they very beautiful to look at but they do an important job. Most ladybirds are carnivorous and they particularly enjoy aphids. Aphids are small insects that often collect on new shoots at this time of year. They squeeze out a liquid called honey dew. Ants like to collect this and will ‘farm’ the aphids like farmers keep cows! Unfortunately the honey dew can damage plants and this is where the ladybirds come in. The adults and their larvae can eat 50 aphids a day. This spring I saw quite a few aphids on my plants so I bought some ladybird larvae and put them on the plants. They were very tiny but now there are hardly any aphids left. Here are some photos.

Can you see the ladybird larvae?

Why don’t you see how many different kinds of ladybird you can spot? Some are yellow or orange, or even black, and different kinds have different numbers of spots. Let me know how you get on.

 

 

I have been out in the garden taking pictures with my camera. I also had a go at drawing some flowers.Photos of flowers in my garden by Grace Hope you like it.
