Year 2 - The Lions: Blog items
History, by Mrs Catterall

Do you know who these famous Queens are?
The lions were great at trying to work out which queen came first. They did think it was the black and white one as they knew photos used to be black and white before colour. They also knew that if there were no cameras then the pictures of the queens must have been painted.
Great thinking and discussions.

We are loving arts week! So far we have found out about King Charles and the Royal family, we learnt how to sketch features of the face and drew and painted some amazing portraits of him.
Today we added texture with collage materials to our seaside paintings. We decided if we were going to create a past or present picture and then drew and coloured appropriate pictures to stick on. They looked amazing!
