Last week Year 2 had a fantastic day with our visitors.

First we decided to create a lot of mess and have a lot of fun! We made play dough. We had to work in groups, sort the instructions and then carry out the instructions. It started off tricky at first, but once we all helped each other we got there in the end. Some of our play dough went a bit runny. Oops! So we had to add more flour to make it thicker. Once we had made it, we shared it out in our groups and made lots of different things. Some of our visitors showed us how to make Chinese dumplings. They were nice and easy to make.

Afterwards we settled with some art and craft. We did some mindfulness colouring in and then followed on with collage work in the style of Henri Matisse. It was great seeing the different colours we could make from overlapping tissue paper. Everybody enjoyed it. We used different techniques to add to our collage effect. Some children cut up bits of paper, while others teared the paper. Some children shredded theirs and others scrunched it up to make a 3D collage effect. Bede Burn definitely has some artists in the making! Have a look at some of our pictures from our fun filled day!
