Year 1 have been learning about different materials. We identified and named them, starting to look at their properties. We tested different types of paper to see which was the most absorbent.

Art + D.T

We have been exploring Primary and Secondary colours as a class. We used different colours in recreating a piece of artwork inspired by Jackson Pollock. Jackson Pollock dripped his paint over his canvas to create his artwork. We did a whole class piece of artwork, which was SO FUN to create! We have also been looking at eating more fruit and vegetables in D.T. We have tried many different fruit, some we did not enjoy.

Year 1 tasted a range of fruit. We had to decide if we like them or not! We also used equipment to cut up fruit and used them to make a fruit cocktail for us to try.

Religious Education

We have been seeing what Christians think God is like. We have read the Parable of the lost son and seen that God is loving and forgiving. We have seen that Parables are stories that Jesus told that he teaches us something through.
