Christmas is coming!

This week we have been practsing hard for the upcoming Christmas production - the children are singing and dancing so well and we can't wait for you all to come and see us in under 2 weeks!

Diwali Party time!

We enjoyed a lovely party on Friday afternoon to celebrate the end of our unit of learning on Diwali. We made decorations using rangoli patterns, lit out beautiful diva lamps, danced bhangra style, painted our hands 'mehndi style', played games and ate the picnic of sandwiches and fruit kebabs we had prepared!

We have had a very busy week in year one this week! We have looked at the Italian artist Archimbaldo and created some Autumn artwork in his style. We have learned the story of Diwali, describing the main characters and story-mapping the events. We have begun to design our Diwali lamps and we have also observed Remembrance day and created a poppy collage for our window. Great work year one, we wish you a restful weekend!

Fireworks!

Whizz, Bang, Pop!

This week we have taken part in lots of Fireworks activities. We are able to use adjectives and verbs to describe the sight, sound and movement of fireworks, and used these ideas to write some lovely poetry! We have also used various media and tools: such as soft pastels, paint, glitter, pipe cleaners and straws, to create fantastic firework silhouettes.
