This week our tile designs have come to life! We have been very busy carefully painting our Middle Eastern art inspired clay tiles, take a look at our creations!

It has been lovely to welcome the children back after a relaxing Easter break. It has been great to hear the children talk about seeing some friends and family at last  and finally going to the beach. Year 3 seem to have grown a few inches over the holidays and they look very grown up thanks to some much needed hair cuts! As always, we have been impressed with how quickly the children have settled back into the school routines and we can now see how much their stamina and concentration is improving. The glorious weather has meant that we have enjoyed taking lots of breaks outdoors. Fingers crossed the sunshine continues.

We are discovering that we have some super artists in our cohort . Here are some more fruity masterpieces that the children created at home. Remember to keep eating your 5 A DAY! 

This week we have been embracing the sunshine by learning all about Easter and spring. 

In science, we have been observing the changes from winter into spring. We have used the beautiful blossom trees around the school to produce some artwork as well as thought about what we might find on a spring walk. The children have discussed how the weather and time changes in the spring, especially in relation to the clocks springing forward. 

In RE, we learnt about the Christian Easter story. The children were full of questions and ideas about the importance of the messages within the story. 

In English, we have been busy creating our own dragons. Every child made a passport for their dragon and then wrote their own Tell me a dragon story. 

On behalf of the whole year 1 team, we wish you a wonderful Easter break and look forward to welcoming you back in two weeks.
