Science Week in Badger Class

We are what we eat.

This term our topic is food.  Can you tell us a fact about food?  What do you know about the different food groups?

Back Blogging!

After a long hiatus, the Badgers are back blogging!  We are cramming lots of learning into this term and can't wait to share what were doing with you!

 

Last Friday was No Pens Day, so instead of writing poems we drew them!  We took an idea from the poet Brian Moses who had challenged children to turn ordinary creatures into super-creatures.  We used adjectives, similes and a lot of exaggeration, watch the video below to hear some of work.

 

Quadblogging

Over the past few weeks we have been Quadblogging in Badger class!  We have grouped with three other schools around the world (one in Leeds in the north of England, one in Australia and one in America).  We have learnt loads from them - the school in Australia has a farm attached to it, they have cows, sheep and lamas.  In America, the children recently met a helicopter pilot in their topic about transport.  The children in Leeds are learning almost exactly the same things as us, they do big writing and have posted stuff about the great fire of London.  We love learning about children in other parts of the world!

Questions for Dave

Badgers, and the rest of year 2, are REALLY lucky to have an artist agree to answer some questions about his art work!  Dave Kirkwood is an artist who has a drawn a fantastic picture of the Micro-Mob, have a look at an earlier post for more info. 

In literacy we talked about open and closed questions, we wrote them on sugar paper in pairs, then chose our best ones.

Dave - here are the three very best questions from Badger class (there are another six questions coming from the other two classes!)

1. What inspired you to draw the Micro-mob monsters? (Francesco)

2.  Why did you want to be an artist? (Maddie)

3. Why are so good at drawing? (Barrie)

We can't wait to hear your answers!
