Y1 Clay Flowers
We investigated how other artists used clay to produce a piece of art. We moulded it into the shapes that we wanted using our hands and tools. We are excited to paint them next !
Y1 Printing Tiles
We have enjoyed looking at the designer Orla Kiely and have made our own printing tiles in the same style. We have produced some super designs.
Y1 Authors! -sharing the stories they had written
We had written our own version of ‘The Enormous Turnip’ for example ‘The Mega Carrot’. We read them to our buddies. The Year 6’s also read ‘ The Enormous Turnip’ to us but in French !!
Our Plants so far!
Our plants have started growing! We are super excited to take them home soon.
Performing the story of Jack and the Beanstalk
We retold the story of Jack and the Beanstalk by taking the different characters and changing our voices. We discussed the characters, setting and the events.
Planting in Year 1
We have planted our Sunflower seeds this week. We discussed what plants need. We also labelled the features of a flower and spoke about the jobs they have.
Cricket Day
We enjoyed our Cricket Taster Day with Lauren today. We learnt to hit the ball into a space and to throw the ball underarm.
Pet Tortoise Comes for a Visit !
We really enjoyed Mabel’s pet tortoise coming for a visit today. We learnt lots of interesting facts about what he eats, how you look after him and that he has just been hibernating over the winter months.
We didn’t realise how fast he could move either!
Year 1 Gymnastics Apparatus
We enjoyed practising our gymnastic sequences on the apparatus this week.
Plaiting
We have been building upon our own Matisse style collages. We have been practising the skill of plaiting and added it onto our collages.
