Going wild today for 1/2B at YWP 🦒🐒🐅
Today we consolidated some of our topic learning on a visit to our local animal park and had a great adventure!
Guess which Olympic sport in 1/2B? 🔍
In Y1/2B, we have been practising some of our sketching skills to reveal our Olympic sporting theme. Can you guess from our work? 🔍
Will it be bronze, silver or gold in Y1/2B? 🏅
As part of our DT project, we designed, made and evaluated our own Olympic medals in Y1/2B. We decided our medals must have the Olympic rings and the goddess of victory, Nike. They should be shiny and durable. They could have a ribbon attached, to wear around the neck. 🏅
May the force be with you Y1/2B 🎾⚽️
Our Science investigation on push and pull forces (in sports) generated the question: How much force will make a ball travel the furthest? 🎾⚽️
Workshop fun in 2WB 🔥🔥🔥
As part of our London topic, we had a workshop yesterday to enjoy interactive learning activities about the Great Fire of London. The children did freeze frames, bucket relays and re-enacted various parts of the historical events. It was a fabulous opportunity to apply and embed the learning we have done in class. […]
2WB creating their own Census 📝
The children had to think of ideas for our class Census. We had lots of great ideas, but then removed the ones that would not give us useful data. The children took a vote to choose what we would count and we went with the popular choice, games. We used a tally chart […]
2WB tapping along to the beat 🥁
In our music lesson today, we continued to practice moving to the beat of the music. Children are now reading a range of notes. We can also play our own musical (and improvised) instruments along to a piece of music.
2WB try a rest in Music live 🎵
We started with a warm up – listening to the different notes to make our movements with. We then used a rest with the notes we already know to add a challenge to our practice.
KS1 ask “Where does our food come from?” 🍽
In our DT lesson today, we thought about food that is healthy, like fruit and vegetables. We agreed some food could be healthy, but unhealthy when you eat too much of it (bread and cheese). Some healthy foods are mixed with unhealthy foods, like fish and chips, or burgers with salad. It was certainly food […]
2WB performing ball skills at home ⚽️🏀
We did a warm up using marching, punching and shoulder rolls. After warming up successfully, we practiced our ball control skills at home. Some excellent skills demonstrated – well done!
Messy Mixtures raise big questions in 2WB🧑🏻🔬❓👩🔬
2WB go musical on zoom 🥁
We were lucky to be able to keep our music lessons while home learning. We started with repeating chants, using different voices. Can you tell which is the sad chant and which is excited? We began to learn a new song with actions We finished with some rhythm work We just had time to share […]
2WB launch our new science topic in style (at home) 🧪👩🔬🧑🏻🔬
Today we looked at items of equipment for an experiment. We put them in a list. We made a prediction about using the equipment. Next, we watched or participated in 3 different experiments: Fizzing Potions Milk Swirls Rainbow Skittles We even made our own videos… Finally, we drew and wrote about our observations… We really […]
2WB became intrepid explorers 🧭
We had our class visit on Wednesday, exploring a local interest site and investigating the local physical and man-made features in the land. Adults wore masks and we took our sanitisers along (in our coat pockets). We avoided touching any gates, etc. unnecessarily, to keep ourselves safe. We were lucky with the weather and had […]
1/2P Art linked with History: Amelia Earhart
In 1/2P, we are learning about Amelia Earhart. We are currently writing a recount on her disappearance, and we have just completed portraits of her to go up on display.
Practicing tone in 2WB 🎨
We have been drawing animal prints and silhouettes in 2WB. We had to look really carefully at the use of shape to draw a selection of animal outlines. Using bright watercolours and monotone, we presented animals in our sketch books.
Poetry critique in 2WB 🤔
We have been exploring examples of Asian poetry in 2WB. Poetry has included storytelling, shape poems, Haiku, rhymes and even nonsense. We have been thinking about what we like and using our oracy skills to justify our opinions. Here are some examples: Alexie Oracy Amelia Oracy Darcie Oracy Eliza Oracy Khalifa Oracy Kieran Oracy a […]
📧Emailing Twanda in 2WB
Today we continued to practice our emailing skills. We safely replied to messages from a new friend called Twanda, who asked us about our celebrations. We can now reply with emojis and symbols, attached pictures and our own drawings. We messaged Twanda about birthday parties, eating pizza with our families and decorating with balloons. What […]
