Y2 DEERS 2023-2024
Friday 22nd September 2023
The artist Henri Matisse pioneered the art of paper cut-outs when his ill health meant he couldn't paint any more. Deer Class were eager to imitate his style. We were especially interested in his composition called 'The Snail'. We are enjoying reading and writing about a snail in our English lessons. Here we are being creative on Thursday afternoon!

Hooray for forest school! Deer Class were so pleased to return to the woods and observe what had changed over the summer. We found baby oak trees growing! We explored some more, we built dens, made muddy potions, collected acorns, climbed trees and found minibeasts!
Art
This week we learned about the artist Guiseppe Arcimboldo. Arcimboldo was born in Italy in 1526. He is famous for creating head portraits made from fruits and vegetables. Deer Class have made their own homages to the artist through the medium of collage.

The new Deer Class were straight back into their learning with enthusiasm this week! The sun shone and the fans kept us cool as we grew our brains together. In Maths we revised numbers to 50: how to write the numerals, the number words and different ways to represent them with equipment and pictures. Here we are using Dienes blocks and tens frames to make numbers to 50:
Topic Lesson
We began our topic, 'Intrepid Explorers' by looking at atlases together. The children remembered the names of the 7 continents from their work in Year 1. We labelled and coloured our own world maps. As a challenge, the children were asked to find and label the United Kingdom.
