Billy’s Beetle. What did Red Class see?

Red Class have been thinking about beetles this week. We learnt lots of beetle facts, and today we shared the story Billy’s Beetle.

We first looked at the cover of the book, and then one page from the story. We used our story detective skills to spot things in the picture. Then we said and wrote sentences starting with the words “I can see…”. This is the picture we looked at so carefully:

Just look at all the things we saw. Can you see them too?

Check out our writing for full-stops and capital letters! We can use them.

Vegetables

This week in the nursery we have been learning about different types of vegetables and discussing the health benefits of eating our greens!

Top Time Tellers.

Red Class have been learning to tell the time this week. We read the story of the Bad Tempered Ladybird by Eric Carle.

We wanted to learn to tell the time for o’clock and half-past. It was tricky. Here’s what we have been practising…

Look at us making times on our clocks in class. We helped each other to remember what to do. It’s important to get the big hand and the small hand in the right place.

1S Artists

In Art we have been colour mixing and using close observation skills for drawing.

Earlier this week we used pencil to create a line drawing of a piece of fruit. Today we used he pastels to create a picture with colour.

Look below at the lovely colours, shapes and detail on the children’s pictures.

1S Scientists

Today we have been learning about the parts of a plant. We talked about the seed, roots, stem, flower, petals and leaves.

Then we all made a diagram.

We also all planted our own sunflower seeds that we will look after.

Can you remember what each part of the plant does? Tell someone at home.

Pastel Fruit Drawing

Today, we began drawing fruits using pastels!

First we drew the outline of the fruit. Then we used a testing sheet to help us to blend the right colours before colouring our artwork in.

We thought about different colour shades and the shapes we could see.

Great observational drawings 1L! They look AMAZING!

Red Class are unique

In Red Class we have been thinking about what makes us unique. We thought about, I have, I am and I can.

We used mirrors to carefully draw self portraits. Then we wrote about what makes us unique.

Wonderful singing in Year 1

In Music, Mrs Tierney and Mrs Mustafa have been teaching us a song called ‘Your Imagination’.

They have been working so hard to practise for this performance. We hope you enjoy it 🙂

I think you are all FANTASTIC! Well done 1L!

3S ‘Doing the Lambeth Walk’

As part of our topic learning on WW2, 3S took part in a workshop which taught us all about music in the 1930’s and 40’s. Check us out ‘Doing the Lambeth Walk’!
