Year 1/2 PE
For this half term, Year 1/2 will be doing gymnastics. Yesterday, they began by doing a warm up of Simon says to stretch and get themselves active. We then talked about what is gymnastics and began to stretch ourselves into shapes. I challenged them to remember the shapes I have taught them and they did a super job of being quick. They then performed a routine where they showed off their shapes and transitions on the mats, before ending it with practicing their roly polys. Well done year 1/2, I am super impressed!
Fun Facts about PARROTS! 🦜
This week 1/2K started exploring the book “The Big Book of Birds” for inspiration for our next piece of writing. As it is a non-fiction text we have looked at all the different features of a non fiction book and thought about what that might look like for our writing. Miss Ketteringham showed us a model text and to help us learn it, we drew a text map and acted out the information. Here is our performance.
Hooking back into learning.
We’ve been hooking into the learning for our new expedition ‘The Blue Planet: How will what I do today impact tomorrow?’ We’ve used dinosaurs to explore some of the skills and knowledge that we are going to learn about and got really busy making models of dinosaur eggs and different habitats. We can’t wait to get on with our expedition learning!

We are Artists!
Ready for our new expedition, today the children made a box model of an animal habitat. In 2L we created ‘air’ habitats and it was really quite tricky! We knew we didn’t want our blue sky to end up looking like the sea so the children worked hard to use different collage and paint techniques to create a beautiful sky. The children then added clouds, mountains, treetops and some flying insects and birds.
I saw some excellent collaboration in class today, well done everyone!
We’re very proud of our box models, what do you think?
