We are artists and used charcoal today to practise different shading skills. We then transferred these skills to show mood by colouring a portrait of Rosa Parks. #LovePlover

Shading with charcoal!
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 Park’s face.
Talk about PANTS crew session
Dear Parent / Carer
On Thursday, KS1 will be discussing the NSPCC’s 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:
- Appropriate and inappropriate touching
- Their right to say no to things that make them feel upset or uncomfortable
- The names for parts of the body
- Who to turn to if they feel upset or worried.
If you would like to know more about the NSPCC’s 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.

1/2K Artists 🎨
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 happened… We really loved exploring the charcoal this afternoon.
