Broad and Balanced...<br />
Y1<br />
The children have all settled in after the Christmas break. They were very excited<br />
to tell us about the lovely things they had been doing over the holidays.<br />
On the first day back the children all designed and made their own kites. They<br />
had great fun flying them.<br />
We have started our new topic ‘How far can we travel?’ This half term our focus<br />
is in the 7 continents. We have looked at Antarctica and Africa. The children<br />
were amazed to learn that nobody lives permanently in Antarctica and it is actually<br />
classed as a desert!<br />
This week we had to locate Kenya on a map, and we discovered that there are<br />
many different languages in Kenya because there are lots of different groups<br />
of people who live there. We looked at the different wild animals you can find<br />
in Africa and used this as our art focus. They explored mixing different colours<br />
together to form the background. They then added a silhouette of an African<br />
animal. They also made Savannah collages using cut and torn pieces of paper.<br />
We made African patterns and beaded necklaces. They then learnt an African<br />
‘call and response’ song called ‘Che Che Kule’.
