Today we thought about other people’s toys as part of our history topic looking at ‘Toys Old and New’. We sorted the toys out to match them with the people that might play with them.
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.
In geography we have been thinking about where we live. We have learnt how to find our country on a world map or globe using key markers. We’ve then thought about the United Kingdom and what four countries makeup the UK. You might like to test your child at home. Today we tried to make the UK out of playdoh, which was quite tricky, but we did really well.
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’.
