As part of our growing topic we have been learning all about the Artist Vincent Van Gogh. We all had a go at making our own sunflowers on the computer and with the knex. We also collaged sunflower pictures using different materials.

This week our sunflower seeds have started growing. We researched what they will look like when they have finished growing and used our collage skills to create pictures of sunflowers.

Today we enjoyed a scary ghost story by Cat Weatherall. We enjoyed listening and then wrote about a haunted house of our own. Dylan tried especially hard with his writing today and we are all very proud of him. Here are some pictures of the story session and Dylan’s writing.

In our ‘Ready, Steady, Grow!’ topic we have started to grow our own plants and vegetables. Today we planted sunflower seeds in individual pots and carrot and tomato seeds in trays. We are going to be looking after our seeds and helping them to grow healthily so that we can enjoy looking at them and eating them. Look back soon to see how well they are growing.

Today its valentines day because I couldn’t go to the shop, instead  I researched on my laptop  and found a song, poem and picture.

If  you type this into google you will find the song.

Can you visit your local library and read 3 books you haven’t read before?

This week we have used our creative power and D.T. Skills to create rocket models using recycled materials and different ways of joining materials. Here are some pictures of our work in progress. The children have really enjoyed being creative and are looking forward to taking their models home.

In Numeracy this week Year one have been learning all about 3D shapes and their properties. They walked around school looking for objects that matched the 3D shapes they have been learning about.

Can you guess the shapes?
