Year 1 get Inspired by Klimt

We are thrilled to share with you the highlights of an extra busy but exciting week! Your children showcased their talents and hard work in a way that made us all extremely proud, particularly during the OFSTED visit. Their enthusiasm and dedication truly highlighted the best of Year 1!

During the week we focused a lot on Art and Science, drawing inspiration from the renowned artist Gustav Klimt. We really enjoyed looking at his beautiful paintings of flowers, and the children had lots of opportunities to draw and paint their own. The results were lovely! The children’s artwork was not only creative but also reflected their understanding of Klimt’s unique style.  In our Science lessons this week we learned about deciduous and evergreen trees. The children enjoyed discovering the differences between these types of trees and identifying them from a range of examples. In Maths, we continued our exploration of place value and their progress has been really positive, and we are delighted with the confidence they are showing in applying their knowledge. In English, we focused on persuasive writing, with an important and timely topic: how to stay safe in the sun. The children developed persuasive arguments, learning how to use language effectively to convey important messages. They made lovely posters demonstrating a growing awareness of health and safety.
