GRADE 2 WEEK 8 TERM 3

REMOTE LEARNING 2020

31st August 2020 – 7th September 2020

READ ALONG WITH MRS MENHENNET!

This is week 8 of Term 3 2020 and all my Grade 2  students are remote learning at home!

This week we are going to be doing some Visual Arts learning about PAPER WEAVING.

Last week I asked you to have a go at doing some PAPER WEAVING like this.

The blue and white WEAVING above was done by Shaurya from 2E and the brown and blue WEAVING, making excellent use of some magazine pages, was done by Siddharth 2D.

If you didn’t do your PAPER WEAVING last week you will need to go to the blog post for Grade 2 Week 7 for instructions.

Here is a story about weaving called ‘The Goat in the rug’ by Geraldine.

READ ALONG WITH MRS MENHENNET Part 2

Wow! Geraldine was the name of the goat and she told the wonderful story about her owner weaving a rug from her wool.

Even though Glenmae was weaving a very big rug she was still going over and under with the wool just like you do when you are paper weaving.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

Paper weaving is a skill and you need to practice to improve your weaving skill.

So this week I want you to have another go at paper weaving.

BUT when you finish this week I want you to add something to your weaving to turn it into something else.

So you might turn it into a cow!

Or you might turn it into a crocodile!

Or you might turn it into a rocket!

Or you might turn it into a fancy quilt for a fancy bed!

Use your imagination and see what you can come up with!

And you might have some big paper bags at home that have been used to deliver shopping or take away to your house while you have been in lock down. The sides of a large paper bag are fantastic to weave through. You might like to try paper bag weaving instead.

I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I will create an assignment on Edmodo called Visual Arts week 8 that you can attach your finished week 8 weaving to.

And if you need to watch the videos from last week to remind you how to do paper weaving then just go back to the Grade 2 Week 7 blog post. You will find it in the Recent blog posts list in the side bar.

Have fun,

Mrs Menhennet
