Looking back:
What a lovely village walk we had on Tuesday! Luckily, there was a mixture of weathers and the class were wonderfully behaved. Thank you to our helpers!
In Maths, we have recognised coins and notes.
In D&T and Art, we have printed African patterns We looked at Claude-Joseph Vernet painting ‘A Shipwreck in Stormy Seas’ and we talked about what we liked about the painting.

Looking forward:
In Maths we will be telling the time to the hour and half an hour.
As we near the end of Year 1, we will be consolidating our learning across all subjects through quizzes and games.
In Science, we will look at the impact of sea pollution on sea shore animals.
We will be using a Claude-Joseph Vernet stormy sea painting to inspire our weaving of lightning bolts in hot colours and waves in cold colours.
We will be competing in our houses on Sports Day on Tuesday afternoon (weather permitting).
