This week, Year 5 had a special visitor, Nigel Goulding, Environmental Education Officer at Rochdale Borough Council.

Year 2 Art- Patterns around every corner, by Mrs Bradley

Date: 12th Jan 2026 @ 3:13pm

In our recent art lesson, we introduced our new topic by exploring patterns found all around us. The children discussed patterns they could spot in our school environment and thought about how these could inspire their artwork. We then went outside to investigate further, using a range of materials to create textured rubbings from different surfaces. Afterwards, we shared and discussed our work, reflecting on what we found easy and what we found more challenging during the process. This hands-on lesson encouraged observation, creativity, and thoughtful discussion. Well done year 2, an excellent start to this topic.
