Year 1 Autumn 2009

During the Autumn term Year 1 have been finding out about some famous people. We have explored the life of Florence Nightingale. In October an actress came to visit our school and she pretended to be Florence Nightingale. Some of us thought it was really Florence!

	We have been on two visits to see different places of worship. The first visit was to a Christian church and the second was to a Sikh temple, both in Wednesfield. We found both visits very interesting. Although we enjoyed the visits the walking made us very tired.

	In November we were finding out about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder plot. Very explosive! We created firework pictures using the computers and tradtional paint in our classroom.

Here we are using the computer skills we have learned this term to format text. We are changing the font style, size and colour!

Also in our art work we have had fun painting circle pictures in the style of Kandinsky.

Our topic in Art was portraits. We studied our friends' features, taking note of their hair and eye colours, then using paint created their portraits.

Also in Art we painted pictures of Autumn trees, looking carefully at the different changes and colours they turn before eventually
falling off.

We read the big book story 'Rat-a-tat-tat' in our literacy lessons. We made paper pupputs of the characters and acted out the story to the rest of the class.

We enjoy playing on the bikes and scooters and learning to share with each other while taking turns.

We performed the story of 'Sleeping Beauty' for our school play this Christmas. Year 1 children were butterflies, mice, birds and bees. Six girls were hedges that the prince had to chop down!

	As well as rehearsing the play we still had some time to create our lovely Christmas cards to take home to our families.

We have introduced a new video link area on our Learning Platform.
These videos will be updated and added to each new term when possible.
