Year 1 Art: Jasper John

This week in Year 1 we are exploring the artist Jasper John. Today we have been experimenting with colour and lines. The children have been practising how to make their brushstrokes thinner and thicker, as well as creating a lighter and darker shade of a given colour.

Year 1 Family and Friends Curriculum Day

We had a Curriculum Day on Friday to launch our new topic ‘Family and Friends’. It was a slightly different curriculum day (as we did our learning jobs in class), but we were able to complete activities set by different teachers from across the school who had pre-filmed lessons for us to do!

Our favourite activity was the Art activity where we created our own crowns. Take a look at some of the pictures of our work examples! We are also really proud of our ribbon weaving on the fence outside our classroom too.

Set Up Safe: Internet Matters

Internet Matters have designed a simple checklist to give families peace of mind regarding their child’s safety on the internet. You may find it useful to take a look at the poster below for guidance with this.

Welcome to our Year 2 blog!

Welcome to our Year 2 blog! Please check in weekly to see what we have been up to at school.
What a brilliant first week back! The grownups have been so impressed at the resilience shown by all of the children in the way they have returned to school during such unique circumstances. We have spent time focusing on how we can all do our bit to help keep everybody safe, whilst catching up with our friends and doing lots of fun learning!

In Maths, we have been ordering numbers and using our knowledge of tens and ones to help us count amounts to 100. Our topic is all about plants and we will be sending home a seed with each child for them to use their expertise to look after and grow! 

Please check your Seesaw accounts weekly, as that is where all home learning activities will be posted this year. Your login is the same as it was last year but if you have any trouble, please contact us.

Week One in Year One!

We have had a fantastic first week in Year One! The children have been so passionate and excited about their learning which has been fantastic to see.

In class, we started reading a new book called ‘Here We Are’ by Oliver Jeffers which the children have really enjoyed. Inspired by this, the children created their own planet stained glass windows.
