Key Stage 1 half term video

Jerusalema KS1 video link

 

As part of mental health and well being week last week Key Stage 1 enjoyed learning a dance that has gone viral and really wanted to do their own…who are we to let them down 🙂

 

So, we have an end of term video that Key Stage 1 would love to share with you.

Thank you to children at home and in school and to parents and carers for all of your hard work and supporting school in everything we do.

 

Have a lovely half term

Pyjama day

Year 1 have had a fantastic day today in their pyjamas! Everyone looked amazing and we think we need to come to school in our pyjamas more often.

 

We had a treat this afternoon of hot chocolate and a bun for all our hard work this week.

 

We hope you all have a lovely and safe half term and we will see you in a week.

Magic medicine

we have been making amazing medicine today just like princess Pearl in Zog and the flying doctors. We used a wax candle and made patterns on the medicine bottle and then used watercolour paints to wash over the top to reveal the patterns.

The medicine bottles looked amazing and we all had lots of fun doing them.

well done everyone.

Fire breathing dragons

This afternoon in year 1 we had a go at making our own fire breathing dragons. We had to be connecting connie’s from our English learning and follow the instructions carefully to be successful.

 

what do you think? We hope you like them.

Dragon eyes

This afternoon we have made dragon eyes from clay using tools. We have had to shape the clay and flatten it with our hands. Then we used different clay tools to make patterns and shapes to show the dragon skin and scales.

 

Fantastic effort from year 1 this afternoon keep checking the blog to see the finished products.

 

We need to say a big thank you to all the children for putting lots of effort in and being really sensible when tidying the clay up.

 

Thank you everyone!

Being happy

As part of child mental health week we have been sharing what we can do to feel happy when we don’t feel very happy. We shared our learning on our afternoon hangout with our friends at home. We all listened to a story on hangout about a boy who was in a big bad mood.

Crazy Catapults

Today, to hook the children into our new book ‘Dragon Stew’ we made catapults!

The children in school were given some materials and a few examples but no instructions and left to try and figure out how to make catapults for themselves.

We definitely had lots of Can-do Colin’s and Stickability Stan’s.

The children at home also had fun making catapults out of things they could find.

Friday treat time

For our Friday treat we’ve had some popcorn and a film (Moana). When we’ve worked hard all week and kept our names off the behaviour ladder we deserve something nice to end our week on a positive.

Thank you for working hard this week year 1!
