Year One Careers Week

Year One had a fantastic time for careers week at the end of February. We had visits from cyber security experts, dental nurses, dance principals and vets to talk about their jobs and answer our questions. We also had a visit from the healthy bodies team to remind us how to stay healthy and strong. Our favourite activity of the week was when ‘Little Cities’ came and we pretended to do all of the jobs that we had been learning about, as well as some extras!

Year One Castles

This afternoon we have created a ‘caslte museum’ in the school hall to show everybody our fantastic designs! We’ve had a chance to look at each castle’s features, design and also had a little play. You should be very proud of your hark work Year One – they look fantastic!

The castles will be displayed around school after half term and then will be sent home before the Easter break.

Thank you parents and carers for your support with creating these wonderful models.

Squirrels Robots!

This afternoon, we learnt about robots and how to move (program) them! We worked in groups to see if we could move our ‘Beebot’ from the start line to the finish line. As a whole class, we managed to make it go through the lego tunnel. It was great fun.

Kandinsky Pattern Printing

Today we made some repeated patterns using a card and string stamper. We threaded the string to make abstract lines and then used acrylic paint to transfer and repeat the pattern.

Squirrels Artwork – Kandinsky

In Year One, we have been studying the artwork of Kandinsky and the style that he used. We practised mixing colours and making patterns last week and then today we used charcoal, rubbers and wax crayons to make more marks and patterns in the style of Kandinsky. Don’t they look fantastic!

Year One D&T – A Home For Nibbles

Year One have been busy making their home for Nibbles to stay in when he visits us next half term. He’s known for chewing through pretty much everything so we hope these will be strong enough to keep him safe! Some children have even added a bed and tables and chairs inside to make him feel more cosy.

Squirrels Forest School

We’ve had a fantastic afternoon at forest school today. We read the story ‘Bog Baby‘ before hunting for our very own bog baby and making one using clay and twigs. We also had lots of time to enjoy being outdoors and explore the nature around us.
