Writing club have started writing their stories. Over the past few weeks they have created characters, developed settings, planned out their story and now it’s time to write. It’s been wonderful to see their creative ideas. We can’t wait to read them!
Year 1 have been learning about plants. They planted seeds and are excited to watch them grow. We have also been looking at real plants to notice the parts of the plants and used post-it notes to label them.
In Year 1 we have been learning about repeating patterns. We started with shape patterns and then moved onto making patterns with a range of materials. The children enjoyed moving around the classroom and experimenting with different patterns.
On Wednesday, Year 1 had a mystery visitor in their classrooms… After checking the CCTV, we discovered it was a penguin! Children completed evidence forms and Wanted posters in Busy Time. If you have any information on the penguin’s whereabouts, please contact the school office!
This week Year 1 drew in their sketchbooks for the first time. They were encouraged to put themselves on the page. Children used pens, pencils and crayons to draw things that matter to them and decorate it in a way that made it completely theirs. Each one was completely unique and we think it’ll be a great memory for them to look back on, we were so impressed by their creativity.
Year 1 really enjoyed their trip to Stranger’s Hall. They played with toys, sorted toys and even made their own toy!
Year 1 have been helping to keep our school tidy during busy time. Some children chose to use litter pickers to pick up any rubbish that they saw.
In Year 1, we have been learning about spiral art. We were inspired by spirals in nature and created our own spiral art! We then hosted an art gallery where we displayed our work and discussed each other’s final piece.
The children have settled well into Year 1. They have enjoyed carrying out their own projects and exploring their new classroom and resources during busy times. They are starting to get used to some new routines and we are very proud of them.
Year 1 had a visit from the Garlic Theatre Company for a production of Jack and the Bean’s Talk. The children also got the opportunity to see the puppets and find out how it all works. They were incredibly inspired and we can’t wait to see how amazing their own stories are when they write them in a few weeks.
