Year 1 Iveson Blog

In Art this week the children have learnt about the French Pointillism Artist Georges Seurat. The children have learnt that he used small dots to create big pictures.  The children experimented with different materials to create their own dot paintings. 

Today the Year One children had a very special visitor. Reverend Kathryn Harlow from St. Paul’s church came to visit the children to teach them some more information about what it means to belong to a church. The Reverend talked about her role at the church, what is inside the church and what happens there. The children asked some really interesting questions and listened really well.  Well done Year One. 

In Science, Year One have been learning about the four seasons. The children have learnt the differences in weather between each season.  Last week, Year One made their very own rain gauges to measure the amount of rainfall iver the next week.  Both classes split up into two teams and estimated together how much rain would fall this week.  We will be measuring the rain daily and collecting the data to create our own rainfall graph. 

This week in Art, Year One produced some beautiful work. They built on their prior learning of different lines, to observe closely and sketched different animal eyes.  Well done Year One!

This week Year 1 have been learning about the significant figure, Robert Falcon Scott.  They found out that he was born in 1868 and travelled to the Antarctic.  Ask your child if they remember anymore facts.
