What is a collage? How will we create one?

This week the children have been amazing. They have been so sensible and positive towards their first set of SATs booklets, and now most of the children have finished both Reading papers - well done Year 2! Around the booklets, the children have had time to look at some other reading comprehension tasks about the Great Fire of London, as well as looking at a newspaper report on the event. In Science, the children have investigated the key things that animals need to survive, and we explored the difference between survival and health/happiness. In Art, the children created textured paper that they will be using to make their collages next week, using the artist Romare Bearden (pictured above) as inspiration. In PSHE, we discussed what makes a good friend. In History, the children debated whether the Great Fire of London destroyed or improved it.
