London’s burning… fetch the engines!

Today, we used our knowledge of mixing primary colours to create the back drop to our Great Fire of London sky! Can you believe that our masterpieces were made only using yellow, red, white and black?! We practised bleeding the colours into one another to create a more realistic background.

Look how effective our blazing backgrounds are!

Year 2 are artists!

In our first session of art week, we looked at colour! We learned difference between primary and secondary colours and observed how artists use colour in their work. After experimenting with this, we made our own colour wheels.

During our second session, we learned how to create different shades of blue by adding white or black to it. We realised that by using just three colours, we had created 7 shades of blue and if we had more time we could have been able to create more!

Finding Change

In year 2 we have been looking at money and this week we have explored how we can give change. We have used our subtraction skills to be a shopper and a shopkeeper and find the correct coins for change.
