Enchanted Woodland.
The children have really enjoyed going on their woodland walks this week. We played some games and collected some natural resources to create 'woodland crowns'. Here are some photographs of our creations.

Paws, Claws and Whiskers: Animal Edge
Year 1 had a special visit from Animal Edge this week. The children got to meet chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, a pony and a pig called Popcorn! We were able to feed the very hungry goats, give the pony a brush and have a hold of the rabbits, chickens and guinea pigs. All of the children really enjoyed being able to get so close to the farm animals and we all had a fun morning.

Pelican Class - Royal Self Portraits
Over the last few weeks the children in Pelican class have had lots of fun creating very royal self portraits. We began by creating the correct skin tone, carefully mixing the paint on the page. We then drew our faces, added our features and painted some hair. We then chose hot or cold colours to create the backgrounds and finally we added the wonderful crowns. We think they look fabulous. Well done Pelicans!
Penguins Class - Our Royal Self Portraits
This half term the children have been working hard to create self-portraits with a 'royal' twist. First they created their skin tone by mixing paint and then added facial features using oil pastels. After this the children added their hair, using paint, then chose warm or cool coloured pastels to decorate the background. They particularly enjoyed adding a crown at the end!
Turtles Class - Our Royal Self Portraits
In Turtles' class we have been creating our own Royal self portraits. We started by mixing paint to create our skin tone and then painting an A4 sheet of paper. We then added on our facial features using oil pastels. We then used the oil pastels to make a background using either warm or cold colours. As a finishing touch we are adding crowns this week. We are very proud of our super art work!
Seals Class - Self-portraits
We have been creating self-portraits during Art lessons. We created skin tones using colour mixing techniques, used pastels to add facial features and added a background using oil pastels. Next week we will add a final, important detail - a crown !

The Year 1 children took part in a speaking and listening activity where they had to find our their friend's favourite fruits. They then made a healthy fruit kebab for their friend & enjoyed them together. Super listening skills as well as cutting skills where shown. Well done Year 1!
The Year 1 children have had a great first half term. Don't forget it is Superhero Day on Friday where the children can come dressed as real life or fictional Superheroes. Parents, keep an eye out on the Seesaw app for some photos of the day.

All of the children have already gained confidence and are eager to come to school each day, which has been lovely to see. The children have enjoyed completing a range of activities and exploring the different learning areas in the classroom. Keep up the hard work Penguins - it is going to be a fantastic year!

Year 1 have had another great half term. The children have very much enjoyed our Geography when learining all about maps and creating their very own maps of our playground and our walk to the woods. They have also been busy in Art and making a wired bird sculpture inspired by artist Celia Smith. So many beautiful birds using paper curling and cutting techniques. Super work Year 1!
Year 1 Woodland Walk
The children went on a local walk to woods to see if they could find a Gruffalo ... unfortunately, we couldn't see a Gruffalo anywhere !
It was a lovely opportunity for us to decorate some woodland crowns with natural resources and we wore the crowns on the walk back to school.
