Today, the children started immersing themselves in the new expedition. As part of hook week, we worked with watercolours and poster paint to create a Great Fire of London-themed piece of class art work.

First, we discovered how to use watercolour brushes and choose the right colours for our painting. We then worked in teams to paint the different houses and flames using watercolours.

After this, we used poster paint and a splatter art technique to create a sky background filled with burning embers.

Once this was dry, we mounted the houses and flames to create an excellent piece of art!

It has been a wonderful day with all the children in Y1. So many smiles, happy children/teachers and brilliant working behaviours! We checked in, did crew challenges, practised our handwriting and have sewed love hearts for DRI!

See you all tomorrow Y1 Crew.

1LI had a great time making birds from salt dough, adding feathers and beaks using pegs.

We also enjoyed making bird collages.

Our bird feeders were amazing. We hope that you attract lots of birds with them near where you live.
