GRADE 2 WEEK 7 TERM 3

REMOTE LEARNING 2020

24th August 2020 – 28th August 2020

READ ALONG WITH MRS MENHENNET!

This is week 7 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.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

I have a few videos for you to watch about paper weaving.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

This first video has been made by a teacher called Mr Wedge.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

Here is a link to Mr Wedge’s youtube channel in case you want to watch any more of his art teacher videos.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

In the video above Mr Wedge folds and cuts his paper without drawing or ruling any lines on it.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

If you would prefer to cut along some printed lines I have made a paper weaving loom template for you.

You will need to copy and print the template to use it.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

You don’t have to print the template. I have provided it for you if you feel you want to use it but you don’t have to.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

You can use whatever paper you have at home. If we were working in the art room I would give you coloured cover paper to use, like Mr Wedge has used in his video, as it is a little bit stronger than photocopy paper.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

Remember this is PAPER weaving and PAPER tears very easily.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

But, like I said,  you can use whatever paper you have at home.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

The front cover of an old magazine would make a terrific paper weaving loom as it would be much stronger than photocopy paper. It would also make an interesting piece of weaving because the loom itself would be multicoloured.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

The side of an empty cereal box would also make a strong weaving loom as it would be made of thin cardboard.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

You also need to cut some long strips of paper to weave with.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

They need to be as long as the weaving loom is wide. If they are longer and hang out the sides that doesn’t matter. They can be trimmed off later. If they are too short and don’t reach all the way across the weaving loom, your weaving will have gaps in it!

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

Again, it doesn’t really matter what type of paper that you use for your weaving strips but coloured or patterned paper will make your weaving look more interesting. Just make sure the strips are long enough to go right across your weaving loom.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

Here is a video of me working in the art room at Cambridge Primary School with some grade 2 students teaching them how to do paper weaving. They are using a different paper template to the template I have put on this blog but that doesn’t matter. The way you weave is still the same.

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

 The paper weaving video 2 and 3 show you how to finish off your paper weaving with a glue stick. There are 2 videos on how to finish as the filming was interrupted by students knocking on the classroom door as a student was filming me on my Ipad!

OVER UNDER OVER UNDER

So, now you have watched these videos I would love for you to have a go at doing some paper weaving.

I will make a folder on Edmodo for you to upload your paper weaving so I can look at it.

Your Specialists Rich Task was due at the end of last week. If you need the instructions for the Rich Task you can find them on the Week 5 blog post. If you can’t find the Week 5 blog post there is a link to it in the sidebar of the blog in the section called Recent Blog Posts.

 You also need to ensure you have submitted any other work for your  Specialist teachers that is evidence of your participation in remote learning, into the correct place.

If you enjoyed the videos or want to tell me anything else you can always post a comment at the end of this blog post.

If you don’t know how to post a comment I gave you instructions on how to do this on the week 5 blog post.

Have fun,

from Mrs Menhennet
