Using inspiration from Orla Kiely, we made our own designs. Firstly, by drawIng the pattern and then using the printing block and paint. 

We have been looking at the designer Orla Kiely. Using her design, we made our own printing block to create our own designs. 

We discussed rhythm and the pulse of the music. We enjoyed using and naming all of the instruments and finding out the different sounds we could make.

Steve came in to promote All Stars cricket clubs with the Y1,Y2 and Y3 children. They practised throwing, catching and striking and to work together as part of a team through the ‘spirit of cricket’. 

We made a collage of a plant naming each of the parts of the flower and describing their jobs. 

We enjoyed planting our sunflower seeds and making sure we knew what the seeds need. 

We used our construction to help us count and spot patterns when counting in 2s. 

We used ten frames to spot patterns when counting in 2s.

We went on a walk around our school to identify local flowering plants. We spotted daffodils, bluebells, crocus’ and tulips to name but a few. We also spotted some trees e.g the horse chestnut, conifer and beech. We enjoyed seeing some buds and going into our sensory garden. 

We really enjoyed watching Monty and Harrison on CBeebies! Well done boys ! 

We decorated our eggs and wrote numbers to 100. We then hid them and wrote down the numbers we found. Good hunting !
