The three little pigs need our help! They want us to help them build a new house to protect them against the big bad wolf. This week in D& we are testing the materials to see which are strong enough for our walls.
Yesterday in 1O we had our computing day! We learnt some new computing vocabulary such as 'algorithm' and 'debug'. We were programming the BeeBots to move around a map and around our classroom. We had so much fun and did a super job!
In 1O this week we became the artist Paul Klee! We used a section of a piece of his art work and used our pencils to continue the lines to create shapes and then used the oil pastels to colour it. We think we have some budding artists in our class!
This week we have continued to explore numbers in year 1. We have been using part whole models to regroup numbers, making cube towers and representing numbers in different ways. We have been working so hard in maths recently and Miss Gamble and Miss Foy have been super impressed with our work!
In maths this week we have been looking at all the different ways we can show a number. We have been using dice, tens frames, dominos, our fingers and Numicon to represent numbers and have been matching them up.
Our first science lesson in Year 1!
In our final week of Year 1 we were set the challenge of designing and making our own castles.
As well as going on a trip during Castle week, we also did lots of other fun and interesting activities.
As part of our castle week, we went to visit Mountfitchet Castle and toy museum.
In art this half term we have been learning all things weaving! We have looked at colours, tints and tones, and had a go at our very own weaving. We could choose to do paper, wool or fabric weaving. Some of us even did a more tricky 'step pattern' when paper weaving! We worked so hard on our final pieces and Miss Gamble was SO impressed with the work we created!
Last week, years 1 and 2 had a visit from some of Hemel Hempstead bands brass section. They played us lots of songs, and showed us all the different sounds that the instruments made. We loved listening to the music, and had great fun clapping along! We were so grateful to Hemel Hempstead band for coming along to Tudor School!
