Year 1 Blog

Today we continued to look at the art work of Matt Buckley. We will be designing our own animals to make out of clay in a few weeks. Today we looked at different clay skills. Using playdoh we practised these different skills: rolling a ball, pulling and pinching the clay, rolling snakes, creating holes, smoothing the clay, adding pieces, squeezing the clay and scratching details with tools. We all did really well practising these different skills and this will help us when we come to make our sculptures in a few weeks time.  

Today we were looking at left and right in maths. We played some games to practise finding our left and right hands. We made up routines to hold up our left and right arms. We then looked at patterns and worked out the position of different shapes using the words ‘left’ and ‘right’ to describe where they are.
