KS1 have been exploring the artist Steven Brown as part of our expedition. Today we carried out a gallery walk, looking at the work of Steven whilst adding our notices, praises and wonders. We all agreed the colours he used were so eye catching and really made his work stand out. We then collected ideas for our own artwork, looking at animals native to the UK. We had lots of fun practising applying our skills in the style of a Steven Brown.
Our do now today allowed us to consolidate our learning around length. We used our rulers to measure a series of lines then had a try at drawing some lines too. We then moved onto looking at the perimeter of shapes which we all enjoyed doing. We will continue with this tomorrow 🙂
After a very windy week, Y2 took to the school grounds to clear up all the mess that the wind had blown in. They took great pride in ensuring it was spotless and ready for the week ahead.
Wow! I am so proud of the crew today, getting smart to produce beautiful work. We ensured we reflected on our presentation, sitting our letters on the line, using finger spaces and the correct punctuation. It was a lot to think about! We wrote with pride and I couldn’t have been more prouder at our first attempt to produce display writing. Well done Crew Godley!
During our expedition lesson, we had to piece together an image which was the map of the world. However, this map had new information that we hadn’t seen before. We learned that the Earth is divided into 7 divisions which are:
North Pole (Arctic Circle)
Northern Hemisphere
Tropic of Cancer
Equator
Tropics of Capricorn
Southern Hemisphere
South Pole (Antarctic Circle)
We then split into groups to do some research on one of the divisions before feeding back to the rest of the crew.
This morning, we had lots of fun whilst working on our communication and listening skills. We were able to play lots of different games where we worked as a team to achieve a common goal. We can’t wait for next weeks session ☺️
This week in Citizenship Crew we have explored how to keep safe in the home. We used our prior knowledge to unpick what dangers there are in the home and how we can work together to overcome these. We identified that mostly, our homes are safe places. However, there are some objects that can be dangerous and can cause injuries around the home. We need to be aware of the dangers and how to keep ourselves safe.
The children were very articulate and identified many hazards, including how to keep safe in the kitchen – not cooking without an adult, never touching electrical items or drinking something we maybe unsure of. We had some fantastic collaboration and group discussions.
The wind didn’t stop us having a great time at Scottie’s, it was very difficult to work against the wind but we absolutely smashed it showing resilience and determination to succeed 💪
We are so proud of the children who took part in their SLC’s last night. The children showed courage presenting to their families and spoke with pride about their learning over the last term. I was so proud of you all and I can’t wait to hear the children tomorrow share their learning journey.
