We enjoyed making flowers out of clay. We manipulated the clay into different shapes, then chose our colours wisely. 

We enjoyed exploring about capacity in Y1. We predicted how many cups it takes to fill different containers.

In science on Wednesday, we used globes and torches to investigate why we have day and night. We followed the United Kingdom as the earth rotated and spoke about what part of the day it might be in different positions. 

 

On Tuesday we had a visit from Rocksteady. We had a whole school assembly where we learnt more about the instruments and what they can sound like, and afterwards a workshop where we created our own KS2 band!

We had an amazing day at the zoo. We fed the giraffes, monkeys and touched the snake. We learnt all about the animal groups and also discussed the animal diets.

We have enjoyed making some clay flowers. We cannot wait to paint them. We also discussed the parts of the plants when we were designing them with playdough. 

Today, we enjoyed playing Crown Green Bowling at school. We could show off our rolling skills! 

We were invited to watch Y3s wonderful dance and to read their amazing stories. Thank you Year 3! 

We had an amazing day with Kathy learning to ride a bike. Thank you for the amazing parental support ! 

We have begun researching facts to use in our non-fiction book. We went to the school library to find non-fiction books and found the information section. We have looked at the features and found exciting information. 
We also used the iPads to research about plants. 

In RE we’ve been reading about Joseph. We had a go at creating our own coats of many colours. We had colours, patterns and lots of creative designs. 
 

We have enjoyed making our printing blocks in the style of Orla Kiely.
