What have Y1 been up to?
Autumn 1
Week 1 - 1.9.25
We have had a fabulous first week in Year 1, in Drawing Club we looked at the book 'You Choose' by Nick Sharratt and thought about the different things we would choose to be, live in and travel to.
In maths we have recalled ways of making numbers to 10 using our knowledge of '5 and a bit'.
We looked at the artist Amy Sherald and discussed how she uses colour in her paintings. We explored colour mixing and completed a colour wheel.
Week 2 - 8.9.25
The children have all settled well and are working really hard to show all the teachers in school their STAR learning behaviour.
In Drawing Club this week we learnt the traditional tale 'The Magic Porridge Pot'. The children used their imaginations to create ingredients a wizard might put in his spells and wrote some fantastic sentences.
In maths we have continued to recall ways of making numbers to 10 using the '5 and a bit' method. We have learnt how to represent this in different ways using part whole models and bar models.
In Art we have continued to focus on the artist Amy Sherald, we have explored pattern, colour and then created our own self portraits.
