Computing

The children planned their own short picture story and then, in pairs, they used the iPads and resources to set up their scene and take photographs to show their story. They used their knowledge from their previous lesson to zoom in/out ensuring photographs were clear.

ART

Our artwork is progressing, we have continued with our 3D sculptures and looked at other ways of folding and bending paper to create our own work.

 

English

In our English lessons we have been learning about the features of riddles. We worked in teams to begin to recite riddles and read them out to the rest of the class to have a guess. Later in the week, the children had a go at writing their own riddles to share.

 

ART

In our art lessons we looked at 3D sculptures. The children had a go at creating their own 3D sculptures by curling paper and attaching them to a base.

 

PE

We have been focusing on our fitness and athletic skills in PE. In athletics, the children focused on their jumping techniques, long jump. They tried to beat their own furthest jump, they loved that they could all jump further than Mrs Hart.

 

Science

Year 1 enjoyed taking their science learning outdoors this week as they explored the playground to discover different types of plants. The children searched for plants growing in unusual places, tall plants and those with lots of leaves and flowers. They used their observation skills to compare what they found and learnt more about how plants grow in different environments.

 

Airport Trip - Part 2

Computing

We started a new term using iPads. We explored the use of the camera, taking photos and making videos. Zooming in and out, focusing on an object to take a clear photograph. We talked about the importance of keeping our work safe, using passwords and deleting all our photographs and videos at the end of the lesson.

Spanish

This week we welcomed Christy into school. She taught us how to flamenco dance as part of our Spanish lessons. The children came dressed in red and learnt a little more about the Spanish culture too. 
 

 

Maths

We had fun in maths this week playing snap to make our number bonds.

Our trip to the airport

We all had a fantastic time at the airport. The children loved exploring the play equipment, building on their physical abilities to start with after our coach journey. We then watch the aeroplanes land and take off, creating our own tally charts and also looking on a radar website to find out the flight information. After lunch, we took part in role-play, learning more about the jobs at an airport. The children loved being pilots and sitting in an old aircraft. A great day had.
