Year 1 Iveson Blog

 In Science, we are learning all about the seasons and the changes in the weather. Today, we made rain gauges out of large plastic bottles and duct tape. We will collect rain water then measure it each week and see how much we can collect.

  We were so pleased to welcome Reverend Dave into Year One. He brought a range of special objects to talk to the children all about Christianity.

  This week, Year One have continued their learning about the Artist Andy Goldsworthy.  The children cut their photograph in half very carefully.  They then used collage techniques to make the other side of their face with photographs of natural objects. 

  For our first Geography lesson, Year One learnt all about physical and human features.  We spoke about their properties and compared them together.  The children then sorted human and physical features in pairs. 🌍🌎🌏

 In Year One this week, the children completed their first Art lesson using their new sketch books.  The children were introduced to our new topic this half term, which is called "Into the Woods". The children used pastels to create an Autumnal background in their sketchbooks. The children then created a collage using Autumnal photographs and sculptures from the Artist Andy Goldsworthy who will be our focus Artist this half term.  Year One did an amazing job!
