Year 2 made the most of the sunshine ☀️ on Garden day and went for a walk on the canal. Whilst there they collected some things to create a collaborative piece of artwork back on the playground. They then created junk art making some summer plants 🌿 and animals.

This week it was Year 2's turn for Garden day, and although the forecast said rain, they managed to stay dry (mostly)!
The children enjoyed making fruit kebabs, free play in the garden, creating rain images and a Spring scavenger hunt.

In Art year 2 have been looking at the work of William Morris. Last week they tried their hand at printing; all children enjoyed seeing their print come to life and could really get the feel of the artist's style. 👩‍🎨🎨

A fantastic time is being had by all!

Don't forget the HSA Duck Race is this Thursday after school at the Meadows. You still have time to buy a duck, find Keri in the playground with her clipboard to join in...It's only £1, go on! 🦆🦆

You would be quackers to miss it! 🤪
