We have been learning about planting and growing. We planted beans. We know that plants need soil, water and light to grow.
We have been learning about 3D sculpture in Art and Design.We learned to roll paper to make 3D sculptures. We worked hard to cut, join and manipulate materials safely. I think you’ll agree our tube towers are amazing.
We have been working with textiles in Year1 learning how to join fabrics. We are working very hard pinning our fabric onto a template and carefully cutting it out. We are going to make puppets. Watch this space for the finished products.
As part of our computing we have been learning about giving clear sets of instructions to the Bee Bots. We had fun pretending to be Bee Bots and giving each other instructions. We all agreed Bee Bots are easier to operate.
We have been working very hard learning how to count in 2’, 5’s and 10’s. We enjoy working together to practise our counting. Isn’t it great we can use our hands to help us count in 5’s and 10’s?
Year One visited Jarrow Hall to find out what life was like for farmers in Anglo Saxon times.They made comparisons between life and now and then. They also found out that women had quite a lot of power – much more than they thought!
Check out some of our photos in the Sway below!
We had a wonderful time at Temple Park. We had the opportunity to learn new skills; batting, bowling and fielding. We all agreed cricket is so much fun.
As part of Children’s Mental Health Week, Years 1 and 2 took part in a Wellness Workshop delivered by Luna Blu Creative Arts Therapy. They made clay models of themselves and enjoyed a wonderful start to the day.
We have been exploring our sense of smell in Science. We identified lots of smells. We thought some were lovely and some weren’t so nice!!! I think you can tell from our faces which were our favourite smells were.
We were exploring colour when printing. We made our own printing tools from Lego. We started by using primary colours and then created secondary colours by overlapping prints. We worked careful and accurately to produce some amazing Art work.
