Shopping game

In maths this week we have been working ion our toy shop to buy and sell toys using money.  Click on the picture below to play the shopping game that was on our IWB this week.



Remember you can change the level of the game to make it harder for yourself.  Let me know how you get on.

Archimboldo Art

Last week we looked at the work of Guiseppe Archimboldo.    He came from Italy and was creating  art over 400 years ago.  He used fruit, vegetables and parts of plants to create imaginative pictures.  The ones below represent each of the seasons.  Can you guess which season each painting represents?


     

In year 1 we had used a selection of fruit and vegetables to see if we could depict a face.  Have a look at our art and let us know which is your favourite.

 

 

 









Telling the time

This week in maths we will be learning to tell the time to the half hour.  Try out your skills using this game.  The game does ask you to tell the time to the hour, half past and quarter past but you can either work with an adult to help you or you can click on the next button and miss out the quarter times.

Let me know how you find the game.

Quadblogging excitement

I have got exciting news year 1 have been partnered with three different schools to share our news and learning.  Each week we will look at the blog from a different school, find out all about their exciting learning and share our feedback with them. 

I've already had a sneaky peak and I found it fascinating.  You will find the links for each of the schools on the right hand side of this page. 

A big welcome to all our new learning buddies we can't wait to share our learning with you all.

Bean Planting

A huge thank you to all the children and grown ups who put so much effort into growing the bean seeds at home.  The children's growing diaries were brilliant we were able to finish off the diaries in school and get the plants into our school garden.  Have a look at the slide show to see how we got on planting and to see some of the super diaries.

I can't wait to get back to school to find out how our plants have been doing.  Let me know if you have a growing project at home.  I'd love to hear about what you are growing.

Aztec learning

Last week year 1 were lucky enough to be invited by Year 5 to share all their Aztec learning.  Year 5 had produced a powerpoint presentation on the Aztecs using the fizz notebooks and made a game to test the knowledge gained by their young students.  I was so impressed by year 5 and their super teaching skills.  You made the learning so much fun. Year 1 were superstar listeners and were able to test their learning on all the fun games.  We all had a great time year 5 thank you.

Using music symbols

This week in music we have been using symbols to tell us how to play our instruments.   Everyone showed great concentration and Rowan told us it was a "fantastic lesson".  I agree Rowan, thanks to everyone for trying so hard.
