Broad and Balanced...<br />

Y1<br />

Our geography focus this week was to locate Asia on a world map and explore<br />

the features and characteristics of China. The children learnt about the Great<br />

Wall of China and the Terracotta Army. We discovered that dragons are an important<br />

part of many celebrations in China. Some of the children made Chinese<br />

dragons.<br />

The children had a go at recreating work by a Japanese contemporary artist<br />

called Takashi Murakami. They worked incredibly hard and produced some<br />

beautiful art work. They explored using different materials to recreate the colourful<br />

animated flowers.<br />

The class had to research Richard Trevithick and they came up with lots of very<br />

interesting facts about him. We then learnt about steam trains and how they<br />

work. One of the children at home had a miniature steam engine which was<br />

amazing to see.<br />

Keep up the fantastic work Class 1. I am incredibly proud of you all.
