Year 1 made beautiful cards to celebrate the good news of Easter! Happy Easter, everyone!
Year 1 have been completing some tricky practical multiplication problems this week. We loved working with our partners!
Year 1 have had so much exploring Pop Art! We looked at different examples of Pop Art, investigated contrasting colours and used our skills to make a brilliant Pop Art version of an old-fashioned picture of the Brothers Grimm!
Year 1 have loved learning new tennis skills with Mrs Gregson in PE!
Year 1 have loved learning about the very first part of the Easter Story. We made palms and sang 'Hosanna', then looked at different artists' representations of Palm Sunday before painting our very own!
Year 1 have been very excited to start our new topic of 'Traditional Tales'. We loved reading the story of Rumpelstiltskin and acting it out!
Year 1 loved tasting different Chinese flavours! We found out all about the healthy vegetables and which part of the plant we eat. We ate roots, stems and the fruit! Fantastic!
Year 1 have loved investigating shapes this week. We named and sorted the 3D shapes in lots of different ways and took part in some tricky challenges!
This week, Year 1 have been learning all about the Last Super. We acted out the events and said the special words which Jesus said to his disciples!
This week, Year 1 have been investigating shadows and choosing the materials they need to create a shadow puppet theatre to tell the story of Chinese New Year!
Year 1 have been working out how to tell the time using our little clocks. We can recognise O'clock and half past times. Fantastic!
Year 1 took part in a tricky problem solving activity, working out how to measure the length of the whole yard using just 2 long metre sticks so that we could find out how many houses the Emperor could fit on it! We worked in teams and recorded our results. They were amazingly accurate and everyone worked very hard in their teams!
Year 1 loved creating different shades of the same colour by adding different amounts of a bright colour to some white paint. We noticed how the colours gradually became darker and darker. We can't wait to use these skills to create some fantastic shaded blossom tree pictures.
