Fireworks!

Year 1 and 2 created wonderful firework representations during their Art lesson, we talked about the different colours and patterns they make. The children first created ‘houses’ silhouettes, then experimented with chalk pastels to create their picture.

"Keeping Healthy"

Year 1 and 2 have been thinking about ‘Keeping Healthy’ during their PSHCEE lessons. They discussed the importance of physical activity and the physical signs of being active; their heart beating faster, their bodies sweating! The children had a visit from one of our parents, who delivered a sporting session, here the children enjoyed playing a variety of ball games as well as team work! A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!

Bird Spotting

As part of our Science work about Animals, Year 1 and 2 went bird spotting around the school grounds. We used our ears to listen for birdsong. We were very quiet so as not to scare any birds away. We saw lots of Magpies, a Crow and a Pigeon.

"Me and My World"

Year 1 and 2 have been exploring 'Me and My World'. For their Art lesson, they used mirrors to observe their faces and features and thought about their hair and eye colour. They then chose a variety of collage materials to create a portrait of themselves.
