1 Red have been doing Gymnasts in PE this week. They have been learning various ways to curl their bodies to enable them to roll. The had to remember to have good posture when starting and finishing their movements. We definitely have some budding Gymnasts amongst us.
Today in LMTW .Come Fly with me Arctic Circle’ 1 Red focused on the subject of Art. The children had built ‘inukshuks’ (a structure of rough stones stacked in the form of a human figure, traditionally used by Inuit people as a landmark or commemorative sign). The figure of the inukshuk is omnipresent in Inuit tradition. The children used teamwork to work together to make wonderful representations.
The children in year one love exploring the outdoor area during the continuous provision to consolidate any Math’s work they have done in class. This week we have been focusing on number bonds to 10 and this was clearly evident in the children’s play outdoors.
The children in 1 Red have been so enthusiastic about our Learning Means the World theme ‘Come Fly with me Arctic Circle’ and are loving learning about the habitats, people and animals that live in the Arctic. Today we learnt all about an Inuit (Eskimo) and it’s life within the Arctic circle. The children had Design and Technology lesson where they had to use appropriate materials to design and make their own Inuit. They discussed the different materials they used and used the associated vocabulary to describe them. Some of these Inuit’s may be found on the catwalk as their outfits are simply amazing!
In Year One we have become ‘Arctic Explorers’ as part of our theme ‘Come Fly with me Arctic Circle’. The children are really enjoying role-playing in our Arctic area. They have to use associated language and ‘act out’ living as an Inuit in the Arctic. They are having great fun reading and writing about all things Arctic too!
We had a visit from Reverend Ian at St. John’s church. He talk about Remembrance Sunday. He mentioned how we remember things (like playing a memory game) and how it is so important to remember people who went to war. He then explained how in the bible it mentions peaceful people dying for good people and that we should not take peace for granted.
This half term Year 1 were finding out what they could learn about Christianity from visiting a church and what Christians believe about God. Here is a selection of their work!
We have had a great time at our spooky Halloween disco in Year One. We danced lots, played games and ate hot dogs and sweets!
During the past two weeks in Year One we have been doing lots of work around the Julia Donaldson story ‘Room on the Broom. The children have used their knowledge of the story to support them to work independently using the enhancements we have added to our ‘Continuous Provision’. They have definitely enjoyed it and had lots of fun along the way.
