Years 1 and 2

This week we have been learning about and enjoying the work of Eric Carle.

We enjoyed looking at a selection of Eric Carle books and learning about how he created his fabulous art work!

Eric Carle uses collage to create his illustrations. He does this by painting sheets of paper and…

This week we have been designing and making finger puppets.  We are all very proud of our puppets.

We were testing materials to see which would be the best material for a raincoat for Dogger.  We thought about what we had already learnt about the properties of materials and predicted which material would be best.  We then tested them to see if our predictions were correct.

For the last 2 days in Year 1, we have been learning to use a number line. We needed to count how many 'jumps' it would take to get from one number to another. It was important that we counted accurately so that we didn't count too many!

This week we have read the story ‘Dogger’ by Shirley Hughes.

We really enjoyed listening to the story and answering questions about it.

Today we ordered pictures from the story and retold it with our partner orally. We even thought of actions to help us!

Look out for our story writing…

We have enjoyed lots of English activities so far this week. Our comprehension this week was to complete a story board and tell the story orally to a partner. Mrs Robinson was so impressed with how we used our imaginations and thought our stories were fantastic!

In writing this week we are…

This half term we are looking at 'Locomotion' in P.E. We have been finding different ways of moving and Miss James has been impressed with how creative we have been!

Monday is a very exciting day in Year 1 and 2 as Mr Egerton comes in to do music with us.

This week we started by tapping different body parts to a beat and then we learnt some new rhymes.

Ask us about the cobblers shoe and our rolling in, out, up and down!

We finished by listening…

Today in Year 1, we have been writing sentences about 'My Friend Harry'. We tried hard to remember our capital letters, full stops and finger spaces, as well as challenging ourselves to use adjectives! 

In phonics, we looked at the trigraph - igh. We were super at spotting all of the igh…

What a brilliant first few days we have had together! We have enjoyed catching up and getting to know each other and hearing about our lovely summers. It was lovely to share our favourite parts and write about it. In maths we have showed off our counting skills and worked with our friends to help…

Last week certainly put a big smile on our faces!

It started off after receiving a selection of fantastic work from Rowan. It was so nice to see all the work that Rowan had been doing at home. He has certainly been working his socks off!

Rowan has been doing a selection of work that we had…

This week Reece, Year 2, has been super busy learning all about space and practising his maths too. We are very impressed and have enjoyed seeing all of your hard work! I think we have a little astronaut in the making.

Thank you for sharing, seeing all of your home learning really makes us…
