Classroom Learning

In DT, the children had the opportunity to get creative by making different shapes and patterns using salt dough. The lesson began with the children making their own salt dough. The children then rolled, shaped, and moulded the dough into various forms, experimenting with different textures and patterns. Some made simple shapes like circles, stars, and hearts, while others focused on more intricate designs, incorporating lines and patterns.

To learn about the Great Fire of London of 1666, Year 2 children painted a picture of what the fire might have looked like over the London skyline. They mixed yellow and red paints to make bright orange flames, and used black and white to show smoke rising into the sky. To finish their artwork, they added strips of black paper to create Tudor houses on fire. It was a fun and creative way to explore history!
