Years 1 and 2

Hi Years 1 and 2! 

Just a quick message to say we hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and that you all have a lovely Easter!

We are missing you all, keep safe and wearing those beautiful smiles on your faces!

I have been looking at a few websites/links that might be useful over the next few days/ weeks.

Carol Vorderman has a good site www.themathsfactor.com - there are online tutorials followed by little tasks which I'm sure the children will like

We had a look at some beautiful Spring flowers.  We had vases of red tulips and golden yellow daffodils, through looking carefully at their colours and shapes we had to represent what we could see using chalk pastels.

On Monday we identified the structure of a plant and learnt about what the different parts do. We then took time looking at some very pretty tulips and did some observational drawing with chalk pastels. 

We can’t wait to show you our art work!

In KS1 we looked at the meanings of signs and symbols of coats of arms.  We thought about ourselves and the symbols that best represent us.

This week, for Remembrance Day, we have taken part in the two minute silence and made our own poppy.

We discussed the meaning of the poppy and why we wear them. We have reflected on the feelings of soldiers and those closest to them.

Here we are showing our poppies with pride.

To kick start our ‘Muck, Mess and Mixture’ topic we have been writing potions using similes. To come up with lots of exciting ideas we felt lots of different messes and mixtures. Some of us were more keen than others! We can’t wait to show you our potions in open morning.

On Monday afternoon we all took on a job role and became Scientists!

Our task was to find out which soap makes the most bubbles. We made a prediction and then tested the five different soaps to see if we were correct. We presented our results in a results table and discussed how we made our…
