A fabulous last week of the half term here in Year 1. We have been very busy learning and have even started our practicing of the songs we will be performing in July for Song Share.
English
In English we have completed our editing of instructions. We have gone from learning how to plant a seed to making our own gingerbread men and writing instructions for these.
Maths
In Maths this week we have been completed our learning on multiplication and division by repeating our counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Looking at grouping and sharing along with creating repeating addition equations.
Science
In Science we have finished our learning on plants by investigating trees and their features. Looking at how they are important along with finding out how trees are different when deciduous or evergreen.
Topic
This week our topic has been Art. We have been looking at the work of the artist Van Gough. We have looked at his work and discussed how he painted before picking our favourite pieces. We have chosen the work ‘Sunflowers’ to recreate. We have explored the different techniques then painting flowers. We have used a wash to create our background before painting sunflowers on top. We have used real flowers to try and paint the different textures we could see.
What a wonderful half term we have had. Have a wonderful break and see you for Summer 2.
