Year One Class Councillors
Democracy: Our class councillors are part of our whole school council and attend regular meetings throughout the year to help decide on areas of development and ideas brought up by the children.
The children were asked to consider why they would make a good class representative and then presented their ideas to their peers.
A vote then took place in class and the children with the most votes have become our class councillors for the year.
I'm sure they will do an amazing job!
Our first topic in Year One this year is Marvellous Me!
In PE on Thursdays we are learning about how we use our whole bodies to move. This week we played a game where we had to copy a partner and move just like them!
In PE on Tuesdays we have been looking at ball skills. Here are a few photos of us having fun practising our catching skills -
In Science we are looking at our senses.
Today we conducted experiments to find out just how tricky it can be to identify things using only one sense!
We had 5 Senses Stations, and the children had to identify & record what they thought they touched, tasted, heard, smelled & saw.
Here's a few photos of the Scientists exploring!
In our first Art lesson this week we all drew self-portraits in our new Sketch books.
We used mirrors to study our own faces, to help us remember those details that we sometimes forget!
There were some truly super pieces of work.
When we had finished we had 'an art gallery' and walked around admiring each other's work.
We then talked about the subjectivity of Art, and how we all like different things for different reasons and that's ok!
In PSHE this week we looked at 'Being the same, being different'.
We read the story of Elmer and talked about how we should embrace being unique!
The children then talked to their friends about what was the same and what was different about them.
Here are a few examples -
