We are artists!

We are all now well settled into our Year 1 routine, showing much more independence and really putting effort into our tasks.
Writing
This week in writing, we have been practicing forming and writing sentences after they have been modelled to us. We have focused on our handwriting, making sure each letter sits on the line and is formed correctly. Our writing was inspired by the story The Elephant and the Bad Baby, which we really enjoyed, especially the cheeky elephant who stole lots of food!
Maths
In maths, we have been learning to use specific vocabulary to describe number values. We practiced using “greater/more than” and “fewer/less than” to compare numbers or amounts. It has been tricky, but we are excited to continue practicing and improving our understanding.
Wider Curriculum
In art, we have been exploring printing using different materials. We dipped objects in paint to make prints, experimented with painting around objects to leave shapes, and used different mediums to make rubbings through paper. We’re really excited to start our final project of creating an autumn tree!
