This afternoon the Dragons have had another art lesson! We practiced our new found knowledge of line techniques and used them to create a landscape. We used cross hatching, hatching, stippling and much more! Here is some of our amazing work. We really enjoyed this lesson! #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsart
Another art week in Year 2! Our focus this week is line. We looked at three different pieces of artwork by Vincent Van Gogh and explored how he created them using different line techniques. We tried our own line techniques using different pencil grades. #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsart
In literacy this morning the Dragons looked at commas in a list. Before we competed our main activity we looked at some of our lovely reading books in the classroom and identified the commas and full stops. We found so many! There was a sneaky book with no full stops! #dcpsdragon #dcpsliteracy #dcpscore
We are starting our new topic in maths this week, it is fractions! We had to see how many different ways we could share our ‘cake’ into 4 equal parts and cut them out. This was tricky and we had to concentrate! #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Our first members of the 10 club! What superstars! #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Here are our Y1 and 2 superstars this week. Amazing work 😁

Well done Harry 👏👏👏💕
Today in art the Dragons evaluated our final piece of work and displayed the final piece like an art gallery! We looked at each other’s work and wrote on a post it note what we liked about it. #dcpsdragon #dcpsart #dcpscore
In the Dragon class it has been art week this week. We started the week by using the primary colours and mixing them together to make the secondary colours which we put on a colour wheel. We also focused on adding white to colours to make them lighter and adding black to colours to make them darker. This was all leading up to our final piece today, we had to create an abstract piece of art using unconventional objects instead of a paintbrush! We practiced earlier in the week mixing the colours and using the unusual objects in preparation for our final piece today. We are so proud of our work! #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsart
Today in the Dragons music lesson we practiced reading music and playing different tunes in our small groups at the same time. We had to use our concentration and listening skills. It helped if we listen to the other groups and counted the beats. Here we are in actions! #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsmusic
Here are our Y1 and 2 certificate winners this week. We are very proud of them. #dcpspanda #dcpspolarbear #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur
The Dragons had their second music lesson! We have been practising how to read music and have really improved since last week. They had to read the music as they played, it was so much fun! #dcpsdragon #dcpsmusic #dcpscore
The Dragons went outside in our geography lesson and carried out some fieldwork, looking at human and physical geographical features in our school environment. We used our observational skills to decide if the feature was human or physical! #dcpsdragon #dcpsheography #dcpscore #dcpslotc
Today in maths the Dragons had to match up the time with the written time for Baby Bear’s day and put them in the right order. After this we took our learning outside and became human clocks! #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills
Today the Dragons started their new topic in maths. We are looking at telling the time. We looked at making different times on clock faces and writing the time. After that we completed a match up activity, matching the clock face to the written time. #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills
In literacy today the Dragons were looking at writing instructions. We have some special specks in our classroom that need protecting just like in the book we are looking at! In the book the boy made a guardian to protect the special specks, so today we did the same! After we created our guardians, we wrote instructions on how we did it. We remembered all the key features needed for our instructions and our work was fantastic! #dcpsdragon #dcpsliteracy #dcpscore
