Creating our summer art piece! Very fitting for this glorious, sunny day! ☀️🕶️ #pdaart

We painted our clay leaf plates today! The leaf print really stands out now that we have painted them with some lovely, shiny paint! 🍃 #pdaart

Today we have been VERY excited to start making our clay leaf plates! We look forward to painting them next week when they are dry. 🍁🍃#pdaart

We tested the houses that we made to see if they were sturdy and waterproof! After the experiment we did an evaluation and thought about what we could do next time to improve our house. 🏠 #pdascience

We used Adobe Firefly to create our own image of a monster and then independently wrote a description for it. We also gave our monster a name- don’t worry Mr Lawson! #pdaenglish

Year 1 are really enjoying their dance unit. They are working really hard to perfect their moves for a pirate themed dance. I can’t wait to see the final piece! 🏴‍☠️ #pdape

What. A. DAY! Year 1 had SO much fun at Blue Planet Aquarium. Here is just a snapshot of all of the fun we had! 🦈🐠🐡

The afternoon we have been sketching a variety of leaves, really focusing on the shape and details that we could see. 🍁🍃 #pdaart

We hope you loved our portraits for Father’s Day. We sketched the outline using pencil and then used watercolour paints to make them bright and beautiful! #pdaart

We brought together all of the knowledge we have learnt about our RE topic ‘Baptism’ and took part in some role play! #pdare

We had lots of fun creating our own backgrounds and sprites on Scratch Jr. and making a program for our sprites. We tested them to see whether our algorithms were effective! 🙂 #pdacomputing

In RE, we discussed how you become a part of God’s family when you are baptised. We created jigsaw pieces to show how we are all individuals yet belong to one class- Year 1! #pdare

Using the skills we have been learning about in DT with Mr Bedford, we all successfully created a chair for a bear! Great job Year 1! #pdadt 🧸

What a busy and fun afternoon! For VE Day we created a class bunting (it is hung up in our window!), designed a VE celebration cake and created a food menu if we had a street party! We also looked at some very special artefacts our class friends brought in from WW2.

Enjoying a picnic on the school field in the glorious sunshine for VE Day! 🌞

We have started to learn how to use Scratch Jr in Computing. We had a lot of fun making the sprite move by using the commands on the programming blocks. #pdacomputing

Practicing rolling, folding and connecting in DT in preparation for creating our chair for a bear. #pdadt

Creating our Spring art piece using oil pastels and paint. Great job Year 1! #pdaart 🌸

In Maths, we used scales and cubes to find out the mass of various classroom objects. #pdamaths

Year 1 are hiding pebbles to spread JOY around our lovely village!
