Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed their visit to France on Diversity Day. They learned to ask, “ What are you called?” And, “I am called……” They listened (and joined in) to the French story of The Hungry Caterpillar as well as playing a fun game of following commands.
Year 1 had a fantastic, artistic afternoon today diving enthusiastically into their new topic of Street View!
This topic looks at pop art, focussing on a very funny and unique artist James Rizzi.
We began by using our observation skills to sketch houses opposite the school, adding as much detail as possible, to comparing two pieces of art to highlight similarities and differences, before looking at some pieces of art by James Rizzi to inspire us to try his style for ourselves.
We really enjoyed it and can’t wait to do more!
Year One made the most of National Storytelling Day exploring the story of Whiffy Wilson.
We created story boards,, found out about the main characters and applied all of our Oracy skills to perform a retell of the main events.
Year One had the most amazing visit to York. We looked at some of the famous landmarks and compared them to the landmarks we had been learning about in our topic ‘Bright Lights, Big City. We also visited the York Castle Museum to visit the Victorian street ready for our next topic.
In Year 1, we have been looking at axles, wheels and chassis’, as part of our DT topic, ‘Taxi!. We tested boxes to see if we could move them and then added wheels on the bottom to see if it changed.
As part of our learning we have been combining our maths, art and topic knowledge to create London landmarks.
Year One have been applying their number knowledge to 10 to solve addition problems to 20.
Year One have been putting their programming skills to the test using floor robots and on screen Beebots. The trickiest bit was remembering to clear the memory!
Year One explored the principles of Buddhism focussing on being kind, honest and helpful during World Religions Day. We decorated kindness pebbles to give to our friends and family, made peace flowers and shared the story of ‘The Monkey King’ , a Buddhist story.
Year One really enjoyed their first dance session today and we were really impressed with their progress and enthusiasm.
