2WB Celebrating Black Art History🎨
We paid tribute to black art history by researching an influential artist. Lois Mailou Jones was greatly influenced by African masks and the use of bold colours and patterns. In the style of our artist, we started with our mask outlines before using pastels to add bold and bright colours. Which colours did you like best?

Making Houses in 2WB
Yesterday afternoon the children used so many of our learning skills to create their model houses. I am so proud of their independence when drawing, measuring and cutting and also deciding how to fix sections together and adding a roof and an opening door.
Healthy Schools Week
Alfie Jack enjoyed boosting his wellbeing (and appetite) with global cuisine at home this week. Mum says he has loved trying something new and helped to prepare the meals before eating them together. I notice that Alfie Jack has chosen to drink water as a healthy option, too.
