Art in Year 1 - Exploring Albert Giacometti's style

Year 1 have been exploring the work of the artist Albert Giacometti. We found out he has created tall and thin sculptures of people.

We tried to replicate his sculptures ourselves using wire. We twisted, pulled, pushed and bent our wire to make the face, body, arms and legs.

RG BBC Music Day

Yesterday, we had a fabulous day celebrating BBC Music Day! We love singing and talked about how we love to sing nursery and number rhymes everyday.

We did some special singing by the group 'Singing Hands'. We watched the videos and sang along whilst also learning Makaton actions.

Our favourites are 'Little Peter Rabbit' and '5 Little Firemen'. See if you can give these songs a try at home!

Friendship in Reception

This week we have had some lovely coloured string added to our making tables. We are following the children’s interests in making friendship bracelets. Yesterday the children asked for adults to plait them for them but today they are trying themselves! It is a great activity for developing our fine motor skills and perseverance as it is a tricky job but they’re doing fantastic! This also fits in well with anit-bullying week so we have been using this as an opportunity to talk about what a good friend looks likein Reception.

The Gunpowder Plot in Year 2!

We have done lots of work today all about the Gunpowder Plot and how we celebrate Bonfire night. We have had some serious fun finding out about a man called Guy Fawkes! We know that he made an unkind plan to kill King James, but before long, he got caught by the King's guards. We have done some acting, writing and all sorts of creative making and painting. We hope you like our pictures and enjoy seeing some fireworks this weekend!

In Y1N we like to keep up to date with the latest trends... and don't we do it well!

Year One Traveled Around the UK!

In Year One we have started to learn all about aviation and the countries in the United Kingdom. We decided we wanted to write an exciting adventure story about flying around the UK on an aeroplane. So, we created our own aeroplane in our school hall and flew to the different countries where we learned lots about the characteristics of each country... including special foods! We had so much fun and really enjoyed being passengers on Year One Airways!

Space Explorers

Over the Easter break we had something very exciting happen down in Reception. We came back to find a spaceship in our classroom! We will now be learning about space and the children have begun the week brilliantly showing lots of fascination around the planets and space travel. We are really looking forward to the next weeks of learning! 

Y1J Challenge 4 Champions!

We've had the best time today with challenge 4! Miss Jones is just going to throw it out there that Y1J were actually the best class at this challenge. We even did some other routines because we were THAT good!  Well done superstars!

RG are amazing artists!

Look at the amazing art we have done in RG! Lots of us worked together to produce one large piece of art that we are very proud of. We showed excellent skills in teamwork and thought hard about using different medias to make our dinosaur. Well done everybody!
