This week in 2K we were looking at different kinds of maps that contain different sorts of information like this map, which is all about lost gloves from the Mapping Manhatten Project.
or this map about a dog dreaming of chasing squirrels!
We made some memory maps of our own about similar kinds of things, some of them nice memories and some were a bit sad. This beautiful map is showing us where
a hairband was lost in the classroom.
This one is about falling over in the playground and hurting yourself.
Some more sad maps about lost things....
There were some happier memory maps like this colourful one about a first football match.
Or this one which is about remembering playing with friends.
Then after break we finished off making our beautiful, huge map of the playground which is all about
found things.
It contains all sorts of information about the things that we have found in the playground in the last couple of weeks. Well done 2K!

This week was 5A's turn to look at the details of Tudor paintings, make a glossary and make some beautiful abstract paintings.
The Tudors had globes in their paintings to show that they had travelled the world. They made Europe stand out as they thought it was the most important place
This lovely detailed drawing above is of a polyhedral sundial. It was a complicated instrument that was used to tell the time when the sun was in lots of different positions.
The instrument in the drawing above is a Lute. The Tudors had musical instruments in their portraits to show that they were educated.
This is detail of Queen Elizabeth's elaborate dress from a painting by Isaac Oliver. The dress is covered in embroidered eyes and ears to show that the queen was watching over her subjects. Actually she had a network of spies who did this for her.
5A used viewfinders to study the paintings and find an area they liked....
...these paintings are scaled-up pieces of jewellery and details of rich fabrics and embroidery.
Well done year 5, you have all produced some beautiful work.
Now year 5 have all completed their first art lessons, next week we will be looking at the designs on Tudor clothes to create our own pattern. We will then print these onto paper to make our own ruffs.
Keep checking the blog to see how they turn out!
