They had a great time sorting the counters into colours and ordering the animals by size. Well done P1!
Puffin Patterns
We have been learning about repeating patterns, regular and irregular patterns as well as number patterns. We can recognise pattern, continue these and also create our own.
Health and Wellbeing
We have been learning all about having a growth mindset! We were learning that sometimes we can't do something...yet!
We created art that was all about the power of yet!
We learned about features of a church. We were all amazed by the stained glass windows. Look at our stained glass designs made with tissue paper and laminating pouches.
Festivals and Faiths
We have been learning about festivals and celebrations and we know how different people celebrate these. We know that people of different faiths have different customs and beliefs and we understand the importance of respecting others.
Look at our mosques. We looked at different mosques and used cut paper to create our silhouettes.
We have been so creative in our learning, using lots of different resources and methods to create artwork, models and texts.

Autumn fun!
Autumn fun!
We had a great time getting out in the autumn sunshine for some active and adventurous outdoor learning!
We were on the hunt for signs of autumn. We spotted different colour leaves, conkers, feathers, acorns and helicopters!
We have been learning all about Inventors and Inventions.
Look at some of our marvellous machines. We used different construction materials to build machines to meet the needs of people in our class. We were all able to talk about what they did, what they were made from and how they worked,
We learned about how transport has changed over time.
We built different forms of transport and explored how things drive, float and fly!
Looking inside machines was fascinating!
We learned how to look closely for shapes and patterns and to draw details of machinery. We learned lots of new words to describe their sounds, movements and parts.
Look at our machine collages..
