Christmas Celebrations have started in 2 Blue!

10th December 2024L Chisholm

Our R.E. day this term looked at how light is used as a symbol in all religions. Diwali with the lamps,  Hanukkah with the Menorah, and Christianity with advent.  We found that Christianity uses light as a representation of hope and joy.  We made a Christingle and talked about what each part represented.  The orange = the world, the ribbon = Gods love, the candle = Jesus, the sticks = the four seasons and the sweet treats = all of Gods creations.  We enjoyed creating our Christingle and were excited to bring them home to talk about them with our grown ups.

Journalists of the future!

9th December 2024L Chisholm

In 2 blue this week we have been using computers and texts to research our favourite hero from our theme ‘Zero To Hero’. We wrote down all of the information we thought was important.  We then went to the computer suite where we were shown how to use ‘Word’ to produce our writing.  We were then taught how to change the size, type and colour of the font and how to search for, and insert a picture of our hero.  We really enjoyed using these skills to make our work more interesting.

The Northern Lights!

In One Red and One BLue this week we have been learning all about the Aurora in Learning Means the World. The children created beautiful pictures in their Art lesson to create the ‘Northern Lights’. They used different coloured pastels to rub and create beautiful representation of the night sky colourful explosions.

Greetings from around the world!

5th December 2024N Sikka

This week in LMTW we have been looking at links with other countries. The children were asked if they had any family or friends who lived in different countries, then they talked to each other about them. We shared various greetings from other countries such as ‘ola’, ‘bonjour’, ‘guten tag’ and ‘namaste’. The children had great fun working in partners greeting each other in different languages. We also looked at the world map to see where some of our family and friends lived.

It’s all about shapes!

5th December 2024N Sikka

This week in Year One we have been focusing on 2d and 3d shapes in Math’s and discussing their various properties. We have sorted, classified, arranged and looked for different shapes in the environment. A large focus of the week was using associated vocabulary related to the different shapes. We have enjoyed searching for shapes in our learning provison.

Today in Science, 3 Red carried out an investigation to see which objects we could see our reflection in . We then used torches to check if light could be reflected from the objects.

After that, we discussed which item would be most useful in giving light in the hold of a ship for a slave travelling from Africa to America in the 1700s.
The children decided that a mirror would be the most useful object, as it would reflect the light.
