Y1 Friday 8th July 2022– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
We were lucky enough to take part in a Music Workshop with Mrs Hext. We played percussion instruments to the beat of the music. We played the ukulele, a chime bar and a single drum- thinking about the pitch as we did so. Mrs Hext was very impressed- we loved it!
What a wonderful effort from all the children on Sports Day- we are so proud of them all!
In English, we have read and performed poems from other cultures.
In Maths, we have ordered events, looked at days, months and dates and time to the hour and half an hour.
In Geography, we have consolidated our learning by taking part in a quiz.
In Science, we have written a fact file about the structure and diets of sea shore animals.
In D&T and Art, we have printed African patterns and learnt how to weave before making a woven fish.

We will be doing transition sessions across the Infants and taking part in a walk to The Bongs with Reception as part of this.
