Top of the morning to you, my lovelies! IT IS FRIDAY!
I can’t believe that a week has flown by already! It has been a pleasure to take over the year two blog this week, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have! I thought I would leave you with a few quotes from my new favourite book which was given to me by a very special person …
Who joined in the World Record breaking art lesson yesterday? I know I did and loved it!
Here are the drawings that Isabel, Mrs Barker, my Mum, Grandma and me all drew!

Break – If you have a pet, try taking a funny picture of it and we could make a funny pet wall on the blog to make people smile?
Creative Friday
Maths;
Lo: Solve a maths investigation

- Write Twenty-one in digits.
- Partition 916 into 100s, 10s and 1s.
Here is your puzzle for the day:
Literacy;
You have really been enjoying researching your sea creature for our non-chronological report! Today is going to be your chance to write your non-chronological report up! You need to remember the following:
You can add in images if you feel it would add to your report. I can’t wait to see what they all look like here is the start of Jackson’s …
Creative Friday;
I’m not normally with you for creative Friday so I am very excited! I thought as something a little different, we would do some more photography. Here are three activities for you to get your teeth into. Choose one or all, it is up to you!
Activity one
Take a walk around your house and garden if you can, use a tablet, smartphone or digital camera to take photos from a Bird’s Eye View (from above the object), and Worm’s Eye View (from the bottom of the object, looking up) and by zooming in on just one part of your subject. Here are my examples that I took:
Bird's Eye View
Worm's Eye View
Don’t forget to focus the camera by touching the screen where the object is. After the walk, choose the best photos for each angle, and delete the others.
You might want to edit your photos for the best effect by cropping them. If you are using a tablet or smart phone, you should be able to do this by tapping on the photo and pressing edit or a little image of a pencil. You could ask a grown up to help you with this.
Activity two
Forced perspective is a technique that creates an optical illusion go make an object appear further away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It is used primarily in photography.
These are made by having an object close to the camera lens to make it look bigger and something further away to make it look smaller. There is no editing involved.
Here is one I attempted when I visited the Tower of Pisa last Easter …
What do you think? Now, think of a creative scene with an object or second (or third) person and set up your photograph.
If you don’t have access to a digital camera, you could draw what your idea would have been. Good luck and happy snapping!
Activity three
I would like you to have a go at recreating a famous painting through photography.
Firstly, you need to choose a famous painting that you would like to recreate. Here are some examples of paintings you may choose …
Girl with a Pearl Earring – Johannes Vermeer
Mona Lisa – Leonardo Da Vinci
American Gothic – Grant Wood
The Persistence of Memory – Salvador Dalí
The Artists Garden at Giverny - Claude Monet
The Son of Man – Réne Magritte
Irises – Vincent Van Gough
Then, spend some time trying to create the relevant props you need. You might be able to use things from around your house (as long as you have your grown- ups permission!) or you might want to make them out of paper. Next, take a photo of your recreated painting using either a digital camera or a smartphone. Here are some examples of recreated paintings that I found on Google …
Here is a recipe that never fails for us, a lemon cake which is one of my favourites! We got the recipe from my Auntie and you can make it as a traybake, as a round double layer cake or as buns …
Simple Lemon Traybake
225g baking spread
225g caster sugar
275g self-raising flour
4 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
4tbsp milk
Lemon essence (or a flavour of your choosing)
- Cream together the butter and sugar
- Sieve in the flour and mix
- Add the eggs, one at a time and mix until smooth
- Add the baking powder and milk
- This is the point to add the flavouring
- Place in a baking tin you have chosen
- Bake for 20-25 minutes
You can then add any toppings you like, this is my Auntie’s favourite topping which you add after it has come out of the oven …
100g sugar
Juice of 1 or 2 lemons
- Mix sugar and lemon juice
- Pour over the cake and leave to cool
Here is a little something from me to say thank you and we miss you!
Keep the emails and pictures coming! I will use any work and images that have come in up to dinnertime today for the Friday gallery!
