This week in Design and Technology, Year 1 have been designing a boat for Max to get to the Wild Place in Where the Wild Things Are!
We are planning our design with some the materials we will be using. We will put up pictures of our boats when we make them. Keep an eye on our blog! In English, we decided to do some art!
We have been creating and describing our own Wild Thing. Here we are creating our Wild Thing using clay. Stay tuned to see how they turn out! On Tuesday 6th November, Year 1 visited the Kew Gardens.
We went on the trip because we are learning about Plants in Science and reading Where the Wild Things Are in English. We visited the Palm House. This is a greenhouse that has a rain forest inside. It was really warm and sweaty inside the greenhouse! We used paper and clipboards to see if we could find and draw some trees and plants that look similar to the ones in Where the Wild Things Are. What kind of trees and plants can you see in our pictures? In art this week, we have been learning about self-portraits. We have also been learning about different ways to make portraits. On Tuesday, we used pencils to draw our portraits. Then on Wednesday we used computers to create our self-portraits.
After, on Thursday, we looked at portraits by the artist Paul Klee. He used lots of lines and colour! We then decided to create our own Klee self-portrait. What shapes and colours can you see in our artworks? In Year 1 we are learning about a famous person from the past.
The famous person we are learning about is Florence Nightingale. We decided to pretend that we were nurses like Florence helping soldiers. We had a go at putting on bandages. We were all great nurses. "After reading the Gingerbread Man and visiting the bakery, we decided to make our own Gingerbread person"
"Look at our pictures; what are we doing?" "Afterwards, we put our Gingerbread in the oven. Stay tuned to see how they turned out!" "In Science we have been learning about our body and our senses"
"We went on a trip to the Science Museum" "We went inside the Pattern Pod. We used our senses to create patterns!" " Which of our senses can you name?" "This week we went for a walk to Rinkoff's Bakery"
"We wanted to learn more about baking because we are reading The Gingerbread Man" "We got to make Challah bread and hot dog rolls!" " We learned so much! We will be making our own Gingerbread in school soon." "In Year 1, we have been learning about our bodies in Science"
"We went for a walk to Weavers Field to look at the play equipment" "We investigated to see what parts of our bodies we use when we play on the equipment" "In Year 1 we have been reading the Gingerbread Man"
"We created our own puppets for each character!" "We then used these puppets to retell the story" "We really enjoyed re-enacting the story of the Gingerbread Man!" |
