Broad and Balanced... Y1 The children have all settled in after the Christmas break. They were very excited to tell us about the lovely things they had been doing over the holidays. On the first day back the children all designed and made their own kites. They had great fun flying them. We have started our new topic ‘How far can we travel?’ This half term our focus is in the 7 continents. We have looked at Antarctica and Africa. The children were amazed to learn that nobody lives permanently in Antarctica and it is actually classed as a desert! This week we had to locate Kenya on a map, and we discovered that there are many different languages in Kenya because there are lots of different groups of people who live there. We looked at the different wild animals you can find in Africa and used this as our art focus. They explored mixing different colours together to form the background. They then added a silhouette of an African animal. They also made Savannah collages using cut and torn pieces of paper. We made African patterns and beaded necklaces. They then learnt an African ‘call and response’ song called ‘Che Che Kule’.
Broad and Balanced... Y2 Year 2 have had a great two weeks back after Christmas. We enjoyed hearing about all of the fun things that they got up to over the break. We have launched our new class topic, all about space. The whole class have thoroughly enjoyed exploring our new space station and dressing up as astronauts. We have also been impressed by how much knowledge they already have about the solar system. Last week, we had a Maths challenge to complete a tower building game using ‘more’ and ‘less’ than, which we had previously learnt about in Maths. The game got very competitive and we saw a range of towers by the end of the game, some only ending up with one cube by the end. Lots of the class also chose to recap their numbers to 100 as well as writing some words that are tricky to spell. It has been great to see them all being so independent and wanting to complete extra challenges in class. Well done Year 2!
