Mickley First School

Y1 and 2 had an amazing morning @NU_Foundation in a gymnastics workshop. Handstands along a wall, forwards and backwards rolls, cartwheels, jumping off the spring board and rolling over the giant pink roller! Definitely some budding gymnasts 🤸

This has appeared in the y1/2 classroom I wonder why it is here…..✨🪄 #ks1 #talk4writing #themagicporridgepot

Year 1 and 2 are having so much fun in our dance sessions ran by @NU_Foundation #ks1 #nufc #dance 💃🕺

This week Year 1 and 2 have started their new Geography topic, all about maps. @Curriculum_USP As part of our lesson we listened to We're Going On A Bear Hunt @MichaelRosenYes @HelenOxenbury and then drew our own map to follow! We enjoyed it so much🐻

To finish our art unit we did a final piece. We drew a dog together step by step then used our materials and skills we had learned to make the fur look realistic! Very proud of KS1 this week 👏🏽 #art #ks1 #art #drawing #dog @Curriculum_USP

To continue our art we used white oil pastel to make marks and saw what happened when we put a wash on top. We then added black pastel to highlight some of the shapes. #ks1 #art #markmaking @Curriculum_USP

Yesterday we added to our collage using a range of materials. We used pencil, pen, charcoal and oil pastel to do cross hatching. We even had a go at smudging! #keystage1 #year1 #year2 #art #collage #markmaking @Curriculum_USP

Year 1/2 have started their art unit this week. We began by making a collage of different types of paper. Stay tuned to see what we turn it into! #keystage1 #art #collage
