Art Day!!

The children had a fantastic day yesterday making their prototypes of the B of the Bang. They were thinking carefully about the techniques they enjoyed doing the most and the effects they liked the most on their art straws to help them choose which technique they want to use next Thursday when we make a KS1 B of the Bang.

Here are the finished prototypes hanging beautifully in Year 1:

Bonfire - 03/11/2010

Year one are learning about bonfire night and Guy Fawkes this half term. The topic had an exciting start yesterday as Mr Stock built a bonfire for Year 1 and Year 2 to watch!

Here are some pictures from the exciting event...

First Mr Stock lit the bonfire.

The fire got bigger...

and bigger...

and bigger.

We all watched with excitement and thought carefully about the sounds we could hear.

"It's popping", said Oliver.

"It's crackling", said Faith.

Soon all that was left of the bonfire were a few pieces of wood. The bonfire was dying out. We left Mr Stock to put out the bonfire safely...but not before Miss Roper had taken some lovely pictures of us to go on our topic books!

Our Trip to Eureka

We had a fantastic day on Thursday at Eureka. The children took part in a fruit workshop. They juiced, peeled, grated, zested, tasted, weighed, measured and even painted with fruit! We then explored the our bodies, recycling, lifesytles and sound exhibitions. Here are some pictures that capture the fun we had...

Year 1's First Full Week Back!

Year 1 have had a fantastic first full week back. We can been practising counting forwards and backwards to ten, learning about captions and focusing on food groups. Year 1 have proved how clever they are by remembering all the food groups: fruit, vegetables, meat, diary and grain.

We have also been tasting bread and have talked about which bread is our favourite.

I can order my numbers from one to ten.

I know what food group bread is in.
