We are so excited to welcome you back on Monday and are really looking forward to hearing all about your summer adventures!
Over the summer we have tried to create a learning space that will help you grow your ‘determined ‘ muscles. Here’s a sneaky peak of our writing, project and maths areas…
See you with a great big gotcha smile on Monday morning!
Mrs Francis, Miss Pinder & Miss Draper
Thank you Year 1c for the brilliant year we have shared together!
I have loved watching you grow together as a team as you have taken your next steps in your learning journey.
You have grown into determined children who are ready to face the challenges that Year 2 brings. Just remember to never ever ever give up!
Good Luck!
Mrs Hover 🙂
Summer Holiday Homework
During our transition Project, we looked at the painting ‘Mr and Mrs Andrews’ by Thomas Gainsborough. We will be continuing to link our learning to the painting in September, as part of the National Gallery’s ‘Take One Picture’ project.
Please choose at least one of these activities to do for your summer holiday homework:
Please bring your homework into school on the first day back, Monday 7th September, so that classes can share what they have done over the summer together.
If you are looking for a day out which will link to our ‘Take One Picture’ Project, then we recommend you visit the National Gallery in London and find Thomas Gainsborough’s painting ‘Mr and Mrs Andrews’ to have a look at the real thing!
We have started building models of our designs. We have been thinking about the best materials to use, how to make our models 3d and how to create models that match our design drawings.
There has been brilliant teamwork, listening and sharing in our classroom!
We met up with our clients yesterday. We shared the designs we have made so far. We collected feedback from the client so we know what needs to be changed in our next design. The two year groups worked brilliantly together sharing their learning and giving feedback.
We also had an assembly with Matt from the building company. He taught us more about how to redraft our designs.
On Monday we made a client brief to give to Miss Roberts class explaining everything we would like to see in a year 1 classroom.
We then swapped with Year 4 and they gave us this list:
Today we started drawing our designs for the different areas Year 4 have asked for.
Today we started our new whole school project all about the brain.
To ignite our learning for this week we worked with Miss Broome to create a huge brain.
Our art work will be going up on display in our school.
Here are some photos from our day:
Year 1c have worked together on a whole class project today. We have been working as a team. We started by looking at a map of the world. We are trying to learn the names of the seven continents and five oceans. We then decided to get into groups to create our own world map.
Some of us made the sea back ground. Others worked on creating the land.
