Welcome to Year 1
Autumn 2 - Dinosaur Planet
We had a ROARsome WOW day this week as we began our new topic.
The children have been enjoying the dinosaur role-play room.
They enjoyed: digging for fossils in the sand pit; printing with dinosaur footprints;
sorting animals into herbivores and carnivores;
and making a prototype for their dinosaur model in DT.
And that was all on day one!
Take One Picture
We really enjoyed our Take One Picture Project this year.
We were inspired by Caneletto's painting 'Regatta on the Grand Canal'. We had lots of questions about the painting and loved the painting techniques he used.
We painted the canal using small brush strokes with different shades of blues, greens and purples. Then we printed the building using wooden blocks.
Next was the fun part when we got to fold it in half to create a reflection!
It was a bit messy but lots of fun.
We really enjoyed going around the school to look at all of the other children's work.
We went exploring in the woods and around Ash Village.
We were looking at the different shops and houses in a village
and we learnt that canals are man-made.
In the woods we did a scavenger hunt and found lots of leaves to
use for our printing lessons in art.
We have really enjoyed our first day in Year 1.
As well as seeing our friends again here are some of the things we enjoyed:
finding fairies in our school meadow, (despite the downpour!)
making Gruffalo crumble, (not edible!)
adding the Gruffalo's purple prickles in maths
and using playdough to make the snake and the fox.
