Good Morning Year 2!

I’m glad you enjoyed the start of our topic last week, learning about the different countries in the UK.
Today we’re going to think about the monarchs of Great Britain. Does anyone know what a monarch is?
A monarch is the ruler of a country. So our current monarch is Queen Elizabeth II. The II means “the second”, and we need it because there was another Queen Elizabeth many years ago so we need to tell them apart!
Click on this BBC Bitesize link if you want to find out about some of the famous monarchs and leaders that we have had in the past in Great Britain.
Our queen is very important to us. She has been Queen of Great Britain for longer than anyone else – 68 years!
To celebrate our queen, I would like you to create a picture of her. You can do this in any way that you would like, have a look at some suggestions below for ideas:
You could make a coin that has her face on.
You could make a collage of her.
You could use your colouring pencils to make a drawing of her.
You could paint a picture of her.
You could make your own stamps!
What a lovely piece of art Sophie 🙂 How did you make it? Did you use paint or pen?
Dear Miss Carruthers, I watched all the videos on BBC bitesize. King Henry was scary ?. I will send my picture of the queen over ?.
I’m glad you enjoyed all the videos! I can’t wait to see your art work 🙂
Hello Miss,
I have done my queen and it was so easy.
How did you choose to create your queen? Did you draw her or did you choose a different way?
I love the detail you included in the background. We often see her in gardens and enjoying nature 🙂
A great drawing Jack! I love her curly hair 🙂
I finished my work it was a little easy.
I can’t wait to see your artwork! What did you use to make it?
Well done for showing her on a coin!
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I’ve uploaded my collage artwork.
I love your collage Catherine – a very creative way to show the queen through her lifetime.
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I will send you my picture shortly.
Greetings,
Sophia
What a lovely painting Sophia! I hope you enjoyed doing this creative task 🙂
Yes, I loved it ?
I thought you might!
My mum found this print under “How to draw Queen Elizabeth 2”. I didn’t have a purple pencil so I thought blue was a good colour to use because I think the queen would like to wear blue.
My favourite video was Boudicca because she was a fierce warrior.
Boudicca was very fierce indeed!
I think the Queen would like to wear blue too – she often wears bright colours 🙂
Well done Gabi! What a great drawing 🙂
