Class One children have been so brave this week! We have taken part in our first ever class assembly in front of parents! It gave us a chance to celebrate all the amazing things we have achieved and created already this year. We loved it and wanted to do it again next week! We love to share all things lovely things we have been doing in class.
This week as part of our science topic Identifying and growing plants we have been investigating the different variety of trees that can be found in the UK. We know that there are evergreens and deciduous trees. Evergreens keep their leaves all year round where as deciduous trees loose their leaves over the colder months. We were given the task of identifying trees using their leaves, we looked closely at the shapes and sizes. We then went into our school grounds and looked at the leaves that had fallen from the trees and identified the different trees growing in our school. We were so excited to use our knowledge and discuss our findings with our partners. We have had the best day celebrating World book day 2023 in Key Stage 1! We all love to read and listen to stories and have had a day filled with everything we love. We have dressed as our favourite book characters, shared our favourite stories with our friends and have listened to and enjoyed new stories and adventures. This morning we loved looking at and reading a variety of stories, some brought in by children, some from our school book shelves and we were very excited about looking through 'big books'. We listened to a story with a hidden cover and had to design a new cover for it, we thought carefully about the story and what the cover should include. Some of us brought in a book that we no longer read into school and swapped it for another brought in by our friends in Key Stage 1, we can't wait to read them! During the afternoon it was the adults turn to share their favourite books with us. We even enjoyed a hot chocolate and biscuit as we relaxed and discussed our favourite book of the day. We have had the best day and can not wait to continue to grow our love of reading!
This half term in Class 1 we are creating art with various textures. We have looked at art created by the local artist Andy Goldsworth. We were inspired by how he used natural objects and created something beautiful. We used natural objects found in our schools woodland to create patterns and pictures, we really let our creativity take over and were proud of the artwork we had created.
In KS1 we have been listening to a variety of music created by composers, we have discussed how music can make us feel different feelings and imagine different things.
We have been composing our own music using the 'chrome music lab program.' It is lots of fun and can't wait to try it at home and impress our adults too! Click on the link to have a go for yourself.
