In Year 1, our act of service is in preparation for something that is quite a few months away for some very special people in our lives. We have planted some Daffodils and designed a special gift label. We began by weeding the planters before Mrs. Brookes (Our Gardening Expert) came to help us with the planting.

Outdoor Learning!
This week we have been making the most of the wonderful weather we have had! On Wednesday we explored shapes, inspired by our experience with the Graffiti Artist, we had a Graffiti shape table where the children could draw around, colour and label. We then went outside to use natural objects like sticks, stones, grass and even a couple of acorns that we found to make shapes!
On Thursday, we were inspired by the abstract workings of Kandinsky and we have recreated his work through different mediums, including outdoor objects! As well as developing their creativity, they had to work together as a team to find resources and make a piece together. We then viewed each other’s creations and talked about what we liked about them.
On Friday, we continued to work on our team work and communication skills. We had to pass a hoop around the circle. We made it more challenging by splitting into two teams and having a competition then forming a big circle with multiple hoops going around. It was wonderful to see the children, helping each other, intructing each other and cheering each other on. We are going to be the most incredible team this year, 1CR!
