On our first day in Year 1, 1CU dusted off their creative skills and had a go at some pastel art, based on the artist Wassily Kadinsky. We looked at different pieces he had created and the colours he had used before deciding on how we would use his work as inspiration for our own!
Have a look at some of our beautiful circle drawings using oil pastels!
Another busy week in 1CR.
As mathematicians, we have been learning how to find one more, one less, and compare numbers and objects. Using the new mathematical signs to compare was tricky, but we persevered and made everyone proud of our determination to understand the concept.
As writers, we have been continuing to develop our handwriting as well as using adjectives to describe the wolf and the pig. We have enjoyed learning about the ‘True Story of the Three Little Pigs’.
As scientists, we have been finding out about the different uses and properties of common materials. This will help us to think about the best materials to use within castles and for protection.
We also enjoyed a special visitor. Heather from the Children’s University visited to tell us all about the university, how to collect hours and to show us what happens at the graduation ceremony.
I hope you have lovely summer F2P. Thank you for all your hard work and showing kindness to your crew. You really are superstars!

We made crispie buns today. The chocolate was hard at the beginning. We put it in the microwave oven and it melted. This made it go all soft and runny. We then mixed the rice crispies in and spooned it into our cupcake cases. After this, we put them in the fridge to go hard. Later, we will eat them!
Due to the rain this morning Sport’s Day will not be happening. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. The children will still do their races in the school hall but we won’t be able to have adults in.
Many thanks

Today, we did some mindful meditation and talked about how it made us feel. Lots of children used the words ‘calm, happy, tired, sad, dancey’.
We then watched a video about BUDDHISM. The children talked about The Buddha and how he was enlightened and realised that there was so much suffering in the world but we needed to learn to be happy with what we have got. Buddhists use meditation to help them focus on these things. They celebrate the Buddha on Vesak day. Similar to some of the celebrations we have, they give cards. They also have lanterns to keep the dark away.
We made some lanterns to help us remember about Vesak.
