Year One get creative! This afternoon we have been creating a composition using colour mixing. We have been discussing primary and secondary colours and applying these to our work 
In Year 1, we are really enjoying our art topic, Mix It! We have been experimenting with primary colours, using different printing techniques, to see what happens when the colours mix. We now know which primary colours mix together to make the secondary colours. 
In Year One we have started a new topic in Maths. We have been looking at how a part-whole model is used to show how a whole number can be partitioned, or split, into different parts. They can be used to partition numbers or objects and visually represent how amounts can be combined to make a total. Great work Year One!
Unfortunately the sky was so grey and rainy as Reception were about to head out on their picnic today! We decided we didn’t want soggy sandwiches 
so we stayed in school and enjoyed our picnic together! We still had a great afternoon, having lots of fun and playing with our teddies! 
Reception loved participating in all the different races during sports day 
They were all winners! A big well done 
Reception have had a lovely day exploring on their Ferry trip! We loved the journey there and back, watching out of the windows and from the top deck. We made our way to the fish quay where we enjoyed exploring like pirates and using compasses to look at directions, we even worked out which way was north, well done! We then thoroughly enjoyed eating our lunch and having a picnic 
Reception have had lots of Bee-bot fun in year 1 this morning for transition! We have been learning all about maps and positional language. Great work Reception 
Reception have finished making their spin drums this week! We thoroughly enjoyed designing and making them 
We have especially loved trying these out and have enjoyed playing along to some music with them 
Miss Marley and Miss Riley think these are fantastic, well done Reception!
Reception are enjoying their music STEM week so far this week! We have been up to lots so far busy testing drum sounds on a cajon drum, exploring sounds around our environment and gathering our resources! We have now completed our ‘think’ and ‘plan’ part of STEM and are moving onto our ‘make’ today…keep your eyes peeled this week for our finished Spin Drums!
Reception are loving their new topic and provision this week linked to our new topic of ‘At the beach’! 
We have had lots of fun exploring shells, seaweed and sea creatures in our investigation area 
and have also loved our new ice cream shop in our role play area!
