Class 1
This half term, we have been learning all about the Great Fire of London in Class 1.
We have been enjoying working in the Bakery inspired by the Great Fire in our role play area. Reception have been taking on the roles of baker and customer and working on their communication skills to buy breads, pastries and pizzas! They have also been working on their understanding of transactional conversation when handing over money and giving change. They even had a go at making some salt dough produce to sell!
Year 1 having been using and applying mathmatical skills learned this term in there too. They have been developing their understanding of money, recognising coins and notes, their values and how they can be combined to make other amounts. They have also been working on their understanding of halves, quarters and wholes by making pizzas in the bakery oven.
In our art and design work, we have been learning about sculputures and having a go at being sculptors ourselves! We began by taking one box and cutting slits and slots to make holes so we could slide other pieces of card or tubes in to create junk box sculptures. We also explored making paper sculptures by manipulating paper strips in a variety of ways, rolling, curling, fringing, looping and folding. The other media we have explored is clay. We began by exploring the feel and piching, rolling, pulling, twisting, cutting, pushing, prodding and pressing it. We are in the process of using these techniques to create our own clay tiles now!
