Year 2 have been inspired to use Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Sky’ to create their Christmas cards. The colour mixing and swirl creations are looking fabulous. We can’t wait to see the finished product!

In year 2 this week, our maths has focused on place value. We were using apparatus to exchange 10s and 1s.
