Class Orion had a wonderful time at the Easter Bonnet Parade.
Year1 have loved learning about digital Art in our Computing lessons. Today we learnt all about pointillism which uses dots to create pictures. We used dots to create spring sunflowers. We are all very proud of our art.
What a fantastic end to our D&T unit on structures. The children in Year1 used their designs to create bridges made from recycled materials. They worked in teams to create strong structures and then tested them.
Year1 enjoyed singing their Spring songs and showing off their homemade Easter bonnets in the Easter Bonnet Parade today.
In P.E Year1 have been learning some new yoga poses. We read a story with different animals and then learnt different poses for each. Our lesson started with us all box breathing and setting our intentions for the lesson.
Year1 have had a wonderful time on their spring walk for our Science and Geography units. We have been learning all about wild and garden plants so we were very excited to see so many plants we have been learning about.
Year1 enjoyed their spring walk around Dagenham Park today. We have been thinking about seasonal changes in Science and Geography so we were excited to see some blossom, spring flowers and the leaves starting to grow back on the trees.
In history year1 have been learning about life in the past. Class Escort visited the Young V&A and decided to recreate our own museum. We really enjoyed being museum assistants and we wrote caption for the toys. We opened the museum to the public. There was even a souvenir shop.
Year1 have really enjoyed using the new laptops in computing this week. We have been making digital paintings in the style of different artists. Todays’s artist was Kandinsky, we tried very hard to make some concentric circles. It was a bit tricky but we persevered!
