Year 2 went on a trip to Stoke Newington to visit the war memorial in Abney Park Cemetery, for our history topic 'What are we remembering on Remembrance Day?'. (We had a 2 minutes silence at Stoke Newington library). We also went to the playground in Clissold Park and did some playing in the leaves!

At the beginning of October 09 an organisation called The Magic Lantern www.magiclanternart.org.uk came to talk to us about paintings involving nature:

Guy liked the painting "The Market Gardener" by Giuseppe Arcimboldo because when you turn the bowl of vegetables upside down it turns into a face.

"Flowers in a Terracotta Vase" by Jan Van Huysum

"Nichiren calming the Waves" by Utagawa Kuniyoshi

"Tiger in a Tropical Storm" by Henri Rousseau

"Still Life with Oranges and Walnuts" - Luis Melendez

"Snail" by Matisse. Patrick saw the snail first and we learned that Matisse was in hospital when he made this collage and he told other people where to put the papers.

"The Strawberry Thief" - William Morris

"Sunflowers" by Vincent Van Gogh

"Three Forms" by Barbara Hepworth (is this the right sculpture?)

There was also a sculpture by Andy Goldsworthy called "Snake" but I can't find a picture of it. Can anyone else?!

This is a movie of Magic Lantern working with another school, it shows the kind of thing we did in class: www.teachers.tv/video/27393
