ARCHIVED Year 1 Blog

 Year 1 had their final history lesson of the year today and in this lesson, they reviewed all that they had learnt about the seaside and seaside holidays over the last 100 years.  The children were required to look at various seaside holiday pictures and select whether those pictures were from over 100 years ago (Victorian/Edwardian era); 50 to 60 years ago (our grandparents era) or nowadays. 

 Today, Orion class put their clay sculpture making skills to practice and made their animal sculptures. We worked with different tools to use our plan to influence our 3D sculpture.  Have a look at some of our fantastic animal sculptures. 

Today we painted our clay animals in Aquila class. Some children mixed their colours and they all painted very accurately. 

 We had a fantastic morning at the Owl and Monkey haven. We had a look round at all the animals, including monkeys, apes, owls and meerkats. Then Jordan, one of the keepers, showed us some of the monkeys in more detail and explained where they had come from and what they like to eat. He then got out Jasmine, the royal python. He held Jasmine and came round the circle and let everyone (who wanted to) touch and stroke her.
