L Williamson History- This half term we have been learning about the life of Henry VIII and his 6 wives! We also be looking at the life of a 'poor' tudor. Art/Design- We have been looking at different styles of CHAIRS! There are lots of weird and wonderful types of chairs and we are going to design our own. Each chair will be designed for a particular 'character'. There is a good selection of characters chosen from Homer Simpson to Kelly the Irish dancing teacher! Science- We have been learning about temperature and how to keep things 'hot' or 'cold'. Is it an insulator? Is it a conductor? Literacy- Our literacy topic is all about 'The features of a newspaper report/article'. The children have enjoyed getting into the swing of things by becoming reporters and creating a news article on the school closure a couple of weeks ago, due to the snow! tag:www.whickhamparochial.org,2010://1.288 2010-01-26T15:33:42Z 2010-01-26T15:45:10Z

R Hampton Welcome back to a new and busy term in Year 1. Throughout this term the children will be looking at a range of topics including eat more fruit and veg in D.T, toys in history, sculpture in art, our local environment in geography and sound and hearing in science. The children will also have the opportunity to visit the CLC centre to gain experience with a range of computer programmes. This term Year 1 have been enjoying the story of Handa's surprise which they are beginning to use as inspiration to create animal dances in PE with Mrs Saint.
