Across the past 2 weeks, Year 2 have begun their dance topic in PE. Linked to our ‘rock n roll’ genre in Music, we have been learning a dance topic Elvis’ Hound Dog. Year 2 have been fantastically copying Elvis’ iconic move… his shaky legs, and are even better at choreographing their own dances!
Year 1 have had an amazing day programming, using Scratch Jr. First of all, children learnt to join blocks to build a program and add multiple sprites. Then they wrote their own algorithms for multiple sprites on a suitable background, before using these algorithms to write a program in Scratch Jr. Children loved seeing their plans brought to life! Amazing work Year 1!
Well what a fabulous games morning Year 1 had today! The children absolutely loved working together to read instructions and share their games with each other. Mrs Wells and Mrs Hope were so impressed with their attitudes and how they shared and played so maturely. Great job Year 1!
Year 1 have had a fabulous day completing their chop, slice, mash unit in DT. To start off they thought about where food comes from and categorised these into plants and animals. They then identified food preparation techniques and put these into practice. Next, it was time to design their own healthy supermarket sandwich thinking about the ingredients they would like to include. In the afternoon they got to make their products applying all today’s learning. Finally, the children got to eat their sandwiches and evaluated these.
Wow, wow, wow! What a fantastic sports day Year One have had. The weather was glorious and we definitely had lots of fun. Everyone tried their best and showed great power and resilience whilst competing in their teams. We are so proud of you all and your fantastic attitudes. Well done Year One!
Last week, Year 1 learnt all about rhetorical questions, to support them in their persuasive letter writing. Next week, children will be writing to our local MP, Kate Osborne, to persuade her to support the “Send my Friend to School” campaign, which they have been studying in their Agents of Change sessions.
Mrs B and Mrs Hope were amazed the children’s questions and understanding!
Year 1 had a gorgeous day on Friday for sunshine Funtime. The children explored natural materials to create nature art linked to Andy Goldsworthy. They then moved to the outdoors to enjoy treats and a story around the fire. After, the children created positivity pebbles and clay faces. Thank you to our parents/carers for joining us, we appreciate you a lot!
Year 1 had so much fun during PE. We are definitely sports day ready!
KS1 had a fantastic time during their Spanish party… they tried lots of Spanish food, listened to Spanish music and hit the piñata. We would like to say a big thank you to Mr Rundle for organising it all!
On Friday year 1 joined in with our St Oz music fest. The children performed Paddington by mover and shaker Gary Barlow alongside Reception and year 2. They then performed fantastically Imagine by John Lennon linked to peace. What a gorgeous afternoon we all had in the glorious sunshine.
