Year 1 Autumn Update

It’s been a busy start to Year 1 and the children have settled in beautifully.  We have enjoyed learning all about our sensational senses and explored sight, sound, touch, smell and taste in our science learning time.  As part of our English work, we explored a whole range of exciting words to describe the tasty treats that ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ ate and watched patiently as our class caterpillars grew into beautiful butterflies.  It was a very special moment when we released them outside on the school field!

We really enjoyed Tanzania Day.  We designed our own mud houses and also necklaces inspired by African jewellery.  We had fun sharing traditional African folk stories by watching some animated Tinga Tinga Tales too.  We were proud of all the Tanzania facts we had learned throughout the day when we answered lots of the questions in Mrs Rosso’s whole school Kahoot quiz in the afternoon.

Year 2 get creative!

It’s been a busy term in Year 2. The children have enjoyed learning about the beauty all around them and loved exploring the outdoors with our groegraphy fieldwork. As part of our science learning about materials, the children explored how materials can be changed. We used folding, bending and twisting to create our own clay owl artwork.

In art, we learnt about the artist, Jo Grundy, where we created our own artwork inspired by her paintings, ‘Harvest Song’ and ‘Still Waters’.

The children also enjoyed learning to sew this term. As part of our design technology, the children designed their own puppet based on a character from a traditional story. They learnt to sew a running stitch and had great fun embellishing their designs. Can you spot any familiar characters?

It has been a fun-packed term, filled with lots of great learning.

Thanks for all your support this term.
