We enjoyed making crowns and wearing red, white and blue mufti to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee at school.

Year 1 enjoyed joining in with the whole school celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. This week in our Computing lessons we used the Dance Mat Typing game to help us to learn where the letters are on the keyboard. We are getting so much quicker at logging in and are really enjoying learning how to use the Chrome Books. This week in art we have created our own self portraits in the style of Frida Kahlo. We have replicated her large, dark eyebrows and thought carefully about the shade of colour to use for our hair and skin. We finished them off by making and adding tissue paper flowers. Ahead of the celebrations at school next week for Queen Elizabeth's jubilee, we have been very busy creating portraits of her using mixed media this afternoon. We can't wait to see them displayed around school. This week in our English lessons we used the poem of ‘The Toys’ Playtime’ by Tony Mitton and our knowledge of nouns, verbs and rhyming words to write our own innovated version of the poem as a class.
After we had written our poem, we then worked as a team to perform it. Each small group took a small part of the poem to learn and perform using actions. Scan the QR code to watch a video of us performing our version of the poem. In our Computing lessons over the last couple of weeks, we have been learning about the parts of a laptop and found and named the screen, the keyboard and the mouse. We learnt how to switch the ChromeBooks on, how to log in to them using our own individual usernames and passwords and how to turn them off. We were all able to log in to the ChromeBooks and find our challenge for the lesson on Google Classroom. There have been lots of cheers and happy faces as we have been successfully learning our new skill in our Computing lessons. Today we spent time exploring some of the old toys that are in our Grandma’s Kitchen role play area. We thought carefully as we played them about the materials that they were made from and some of the ways that they are different to our toys today. We noticed that none of the old toys used electricity like our video games do today and that lots of the pieces for the board games were made from cardboard and metal rather than plastic. |
