We have learnt about inequality and racism during this Rosa Parks topic. Recognising that it is unfair, unkind and inhumane to treat people different because of the colour of their skin, gender, disability, if they wear glasses or not etc.
In year 1 we are learning about shading, hatching and cross hatching.
We have practised first, and then we have shaded an outline of Rosa Parkās face.
Dear Parent / Carer
On Thursday, KS1 will be discussing the NSPCCās Talk Pants rules in our Crew session. During these discussions, we will aim to teach our children the following important safety skills without giving explicit information or telling scary stories. These are the PANTS rules:
P: Privates are private
A: Always remember your body belongs to you.
N: No means NO!
T: Talk about secrets that upset you.
S: Speak up, someone can help you.
The Crew session empowers children, in an age-appropriate way, to recognise their rights to their own bodies, say not to touch that is unwanted, and tell someone if they feel uncomfortable. The lessons include activities, which help children understand:
If you would like to know more about the NSPCCās campaign more information can be found at: nspcc.org.uk/pants.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards
KS1 Team.
These awesome artists used different colours to shade faces and represent the different moods/emotions! #LovePlover
Physical Activity is important in all aspects of life. Incorporating physical activity into learning is vital – 1M love being active and working hard! Well done Tommy and Borimir for working hard in Maths! #LovePlover

This week’s handwriting superstars are Peyton and Elliot!
Both children have worked hard on improving their handwriting this term and their progress is lovely to see. #LovePlover
Today 1/2K were getting very busy with charcoal. We talked about mood and how different pieces of art make us feel.
We also created different types of lines that represented how we had felt throughout the day. We then used our finger to smudge the charcoal to see what happenedā¦ We really loved exploring the charcoal this afternoon.
