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.
Key Stage 1
School Council Menu Tasting
This week Children from school council were given the opportunity to taste a variety of food items and give their opinions on them. This was to help Nikki and the kitchen team think about developing the lunch menu going forward.
Year 2 Science
In Year 2 the children have been investigating materials. After looking at the different properties materials have, they designed and made a kite using the materials they thought would be the most suitable. This afternoon they tested their kites to see if their ideas were correct!
Y1 – Sketchbooks
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 2 Rangoli Patterns
Year 2 have continued learning about why light is important for different religions. This week they have learnt about Hinduism and Diwali. They learnt about the story of Rama and Sita and then created their own rangoli patterns.
Y1 – Stranger’s Hall
Year 1 really enjoyed their trip to Stranger’s Hall. They played with toys, sorted toys and even made their own toy!
Year 2 RE
Year 2 have started learning about why light is an important symbol for different religions. This week they have been learning about the Jewish festival Hanukkah and understanding how a Menorah is an important part of this celebration.
Year 2 Geography
Year 2 have started their first Geography unit where they will be comparing Norwich to Shanghai by looking at local Norwich landmarks and constructing models of them. Each class worked on a different landmark and produced replicas of Norwich Castle, the Cathedral and Carrow Road.
A great start to Year 1
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 2 Art
Year 2 have started their first art project of the year and have been exploring art in nature. After learning about artists who use the landscape and natural materials in their work, the children collected natural objects and then used them to create patterns and pictures.
