Y1L had lots of fun visiting The Word library and spending time in the Story World room.
We read a book called Silly Billy, about a boy who had lots of worries. After the story, we designed and named our own worry dolls. We also had time to enjoy the library and select a storybook each to take back to school.
We have been reading a new book called The Storm Whale. We looked at a scene from the book and used role-play to help us predict what could be happening in the illustrations.
Graeme came into Year 1 to tell us why Jesus told stories, and about one particular parable called The Lost Son, or The Prodigal Son. He talked about forgiveness and the strength of family. We had lots of great questions for Graeme.
Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’ and performed a scene from the story. Our characters were Mr Grindling and the ravenous seagulls.
The children wrote three of their own poems this week, all on the theme of Food. They chose their favourite to perform.
Our Year 1 Art topic about Spanish artist Joan Miro is proving popular. His surreal paintings are so dream-like, but Year 1 pupils are able to comment upon what they think they represent. His paintings of farms inspired Year 1 pupils to produce their own drawings.
Year 1 have book reading the traditional tale, Hansel and Gretel. We were asked to orally retell the story, thinking about how using actions, tone and expression could help show character feelings throughout the story. We performed the story to our peers.
We have been learning about animals and the different classes they belong to. Our visitor from Animal Antics brought a range of animals to help us learn more about their differences and similarities. Can you name the animal class each creature belongs to?
