Year 2 Geography: Islands

Year 2 have been looking at islands in Geography. Firstly, the children made plans of how they wanted their islands to look with all the features they hoped to include. To start building the islands, balloons were covered in papier-mâché. Once the papier-mâché had dried, the balloons were chopped in half to make the island shapes. The shapes were then painted using blue for the sea, yellow for the sand and green for the land. Year 2 then referred to their plans to add objects such as volcanoes, trees, flowers and people that they placed on their colourful islands. The end results were fantastic. This has been a project that our Year 2 pupils have thoroughly enjoyed.
