Class 1

In Maths we have been investigating shapes. We created shapes and patterns using lollipop sticks and used geoboards to create shapes of different sizes. 

In our Computing sessions we have been having fun using the IPads and a program called Paintz. We have been experimenting with line and colour. We were inspired by the work of Piet Mondrian to create designs using primary colours! 

Today we had a visit form Mrs Cole from South Staffs Water. She told us the story of Little Drop and we found out all about the water cycle. Then we talked about ways water can be wasted and the things we can do at home to save water. 

This Remembrance Day we have talked about why people wear poppies and given thanks to those who have helped keep us safe. 

We had great fun dancing to Andy and the Odd Socks but their song had a serious message - everyone has the power to do something about bullying and help others! 
Thanks to everyone who wore odd socks to raise awareness about Anti-bullying week.

Remember, remember the 5th of November!
We talked about bonfire and fireworks safety and created our own bonfire pictures using coloured paper, paint and glitter! 

Our art this term is all about line and pattern. We explored different types of line and repeated our favourite experiments to create a whole class piece of work. 

We had a fantastic wellbeing day at St Andrew’s. We met Steel from Gladiators who told us how he stays mentally strong and positive. It gave us lots of motivation to always try our best! 

We have been working hard in Maths exploring part whole models and using them to write number sentences! 

We had great fun today being creative at the Lego workshop.

Many thanks to Friends of Mary Howard! 

We linked our work in English and Design Technology to help Mrs Wardale make pumpkin soup. We chopped the vegetables and did some taste tests! Yum! 

In Science we investigated our sense of smell. We were given some picture clues but had to guess what was inside each cup!
