Year 1
Welcome to the Year 1 class page!
Summer 2 Week 1 and 2
We have started our new Art topic based on Eric Carle (the author and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar). We have learned some facts about Eric and his collage technique. This week, we used acrylics to paint on to tissue paper (very carefully).
In English, we have started to read The Magic Finger. The children used their prediction skills to guess what happens to poor Mrs Winter (the class teacher) when she asks 'Girl' to spell a word. We had: turn her into a puddle, shrink her down, electrocute her, freeze her, turn her into sand and even send her into space!
