Today we enjoyed a visit from Mr Meredith, Head of Education for the Brecon and Swansea Diocese. He told us a Bible story and then we created fish to put in Peter’s net and looked at a religious painting. He was so impressed with how articulate we all were and how well we could share our ideas.
Today, as part of our RE work, we made hot cross buns with some special helpers. We followed the recipe and thought about when we eat hot cross buns and why there is a cross on the top.
Awe and Wonder was our focus today! We made cornflour slime, bubble paintings, lemon volcanoes and fireworks in a jar. Lots of scientific learning and great fun!
Following the reading of ‘Hanni’s Magic Window’ we played a board game that reinforced who to and how to ask for help. We also used the ‘Like Ladder’ to order the online activities from our favourite to least favourite.
This Week Year One have been working in maths on their coin recognition and using this learning to pay for items.
We had a great time with Peter. We worked with him to create our own journey stories based on ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ and ‘Loopy Luna and the Hula Hoop.’
We made palm leaves and role-played Jesus entering Jerusalem, We shouted “Hooray for Jesus!”
We discussed the story ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker. Following this we created our own magical world using resources from the classroom on the carpet. Then we talked about different journeys we could take using different transports. We worked in groups to create freeze frames of these journeys.
