Year R and 1 - Holly Class 2025 - 2026
In Science, we have been exploring and sorting different materials.
We had great fun sorting the different shapes!
In art, the year R children painted pictures of different fruits and vegetables.
In Art, we have been learning about the famous artist Antoni Gaudi. The children looked at different buildings from around the world and looked at our school building noticing different shapes and patterns. The children then made observational drawings of the different buildings using a range of drawing pencils.
Year 1 children have been solving addition problems using the Numicon and dienes to help them.
We have enjoyed weighing and comparing different objects.
We have been learning to write our new sounds and tricky words in our phonics lessons.
Pet Day
As part of our topic we have had special visitors visit Holly Class. We have a visit from a doctor, a police officer and 2 fire fighters.
We have enjoyed learning to play tuned percussion instruments in music.
In Holly Class, we took part in Inter Faith week and learnt about Islam. We found out what was special to Muslims, learnt how they celebrate Ramadan and tasted special foods that they eat after Ramadan.
Remembrance Day- We dressed up as evacuees and enjoyed making poppies using the multi-link.
We learnt about bonfire night and fireworks. The children enjoyed creating their own fireworks in different ways.
We have been writing our letters in the learning garden.
The children made their own breakfast pots in DT. They first tried different yoghurts and talked about how they tasted. They tried Greek yoghurt, natural yoghurt, set yoghurt and fromage frais. The children then designed their own breakfast pots. They had to include a type of yoghurt, fruit and cereal. Next they had to cut their fruit using the skills they had learnt when they had made their fruit kebabs earlier in the week. The children made their breakfast pots following their plans and then enjoyed eating them.
The children made some fruit kebabs today. We learnt how to cut the fruit carefully and thread the fruit onto a kebab stick. The children enjoyed putting the fruit on the stick in a pattern. They then tasted their delicious kebabs and described what it tasted like.
We have been reading 'The Three Little Pigs'. We enjoyed acting out the story with the characters and making a new house for the pigs out of junk modelling.
