We have been enjoying taking part in lots of dinosaur themed play in class one! We have been digging for dinosaur bones, creating dinosaur lands, drawing dinosaurs and creating dinosaur art work!

We have been learning more about the properties or 3D shapes. We created our own models using packaging. We thought about the shape of the packaging that we would need for our construction. We started to describe the properties of the shapes. 

In art today we have been using a variety of different brushes to experiment with different strokes. 
 

In class 4 we are getting ready for the art gallery in June. Here is a sneak peek of our beautiful clay Fairy Houses. 
 

This week we have been experimenting with watercolours. We used a range of techniques to create effects of light and movement in the water. 
 

This week we have been adding some more details to our bodywork. We have also experimented with CAD to create a steering wheel and a model of the car.

In our final week before Raceday we have been making the final touches to our cars and organising our portfolio. We are all very proud of our cars. We give to you Postman Pat and Summer Surfers. 

This week in GreenPower we have been learning to push start and drive the cars. We had a great time and cannot wait for Raceday! 
 

In English we are going to be writing fact files and non chronological reports about penguins. Today we combined our IT and English lesson into one and used the chrome books as well as other sources to research information about penguins.

In music today we used the percussion instruments to compos a graphic notation for one of the stories we have covered this year ‘Katie in London’. 
 

In maths today Year 1 have been sorting and matching their wellies into pairs. We then practiced counting up in twos. We also used and hands and fingers to help us count up in fives and tens. We worked out that we had 150 fingers altogether! 

Today in English Class 2 have been independently retelling the story of Grandad’s Island by Benji Davies.
