ARCHIVED Year 1 Blog 2022-24

 Today we discovered a trapped animal in the school grounds. Year 1 were very eager to help the injured wild mammal, but had to be warned about keeping at a safe distance. We talked about who we should call in an animal emergency and the national charity: the RSPCA. We then acted out our great discovery in little groups and contacting the RSPCA to help. This is linked to our learning in English where a boy finds a whale in the story ‘The Storm Whale’. 

Today in our art lesson we did some observational drawings of feathers. We were looking closely at the shape, colour, light / dark and detail. We experimented with using pencils, charcoal and oil pastels. Everyone produced some amazing and detailed sketches.
