WRIGGLE AND CRAWL Year 2

ART and DESIGN

In our art and design lessons we will learn to:

1. Draw detailed sketches of collected mini-beasts by experimenting with different grades of pencil and other media. We will use skills used by Paul Carney to practice sketching and shading techniques, including light and dark shading.

2. Understand that a sketch is a quickly produced or unfinished drawing, which helps artists develop their ideas. Discuss our sketches and how they can be improved

DESIGN and TECHNOLOGY

On our design and technology lessons we will learn to:

Use our knowledge of camouflage and warning colours to

design and make a 3-D model of a minibeast.

Choose appropriate resources and materials and suggest

ways of manipulating them to achieve the effect we want.

CAN YOU REMEMBER?

MUSIC

In our music we will learn to:

Play tuned and untuned percussion instruments—adding

sounds to a class poem to give it dramatic affect

Listen to classical music inspired by minibeasts such as,

Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov, Butterfly Étude

by Chopin, or The Wasps by Vaughan Williams. Understand

which instruments were used to create the minibeast sound

effects.

learned...

GEOGRAPHY

In our geography lessons we will learn to:

Understand that a map is a picture or drawing of an area of land

that can show different features

Draw simple maps and add a key to indicate features on their

sketch maps and plot the route they took around the site. Identify

stopping points or

sampling areas

along the route.
