Year 2 have been on a walk around the local area to see if they could spot what makes buildings look old and new. We looked at the type of bricks and discovered that some buildings have dates on them, showing when they were built. We are going to use this information to build a time line of how Southwick has changed and developed.
Year 2 went to Southwick Community Centre to watch a production called ‘Strange Creatures.’ It was a story about an alien, called Beegu, who fell to earth and had no friends. She had to make friends and find a way to make it back to her family. In the show there were some fabulous musical performers using violins, violas and cellos to play different
As part of our Hinduism studies, we learnt about the different gods that Hindus can pray to. We discussed how they make an offering using sweets or home made bakes so we made our own to try. Here are some of our photos.
We have been looking at ways we can be a kind and useful friend in Year 1. We looked at different situations and sorted them into ‘being a good friend’ and ‘being a bad friend.’ There were lots of ways we could discuss to make the bad situations better! Well done Year 1!
Year 1 have been learning about the main parts of the Easter Story. We looked at what happened over Easter Week and then looked for symbols for why we celebrate Easter today. We had great fun role playing the story and thinking about using different facial expressions for how the characters could be feeling.
Year 1 joined Mr Woolley from Beamish on Monday afternoon to go searching for some toys. These toys were special because they are what children used in the past. There were no ipads, games consoles or computers! We had a fantastic afternoon playing with ‘cups and balls,’ flick books, Pick Up Sticks and marbles. Here are some of our photos.
This week, we have bee learning about the United Kingdom. We know that it is made up of 4 countries, and all of the flags mixed together to make the Union Jack Flag. We have ‘visited’ each country; looked at their landmarks, capitals, flags and special flowers. Then we made a large United Kingdom map for our classroom. Well done, Year 1!
