Class 1 News

This week has been filled with exciting enrichments. The KS1 children enjoyed a Fire of London workshop and everyone had a wonderful time today with our Art workshop.

In KS1 maths we have continued learning to tell the time and in Reception we have been looking at subitising (recognising a quantity without counting ) values to 6 .

The children had a fantastic day exploring life in 1666. We began with an enthusiastic discussion about clothing from the period before moving on to how the Great Fire started and the key figures involved. The class loved getting hands‑on with the artifacts flint and stone, ink and quills, bread trays, butter churners and many more items that brought the past to life.

After playtime, we learned about what everyday life and schooling looked like in 1666. The children then had the chance to ask our expert lots of thoughtful questions.

In the afternoon, we switched to art. Reception created beautiful collages, layering black silhouettes over textured backgrounds to form their 1666 London houses. KS1 used watercolours to paint their backgrounds and added layered shapes to complete their final pieces. The results were wonderful.

Enjoy the weekend everyone !
