Cursive writing
This morning we have been learning all about Tudor music and dance. We have investigated Tudor instruments, listened to some Tudor music and even had a go at some Tudor dancing!
Another great Forest School session today! After learning about William Shakespeare and some of his plays, we decided to give acting a go! We listened to the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff, then we had to create our own scenery for the story. We then worked in groups to act it out!
Have a look at the lovely animals that visited us in Year 1! We learnt so much about animal classification and got to hold a whole vaiety of animals too!
We enjoyed a visit from the police this week. They talked to us about keeping safe, what to do if we ever get lost in town or a shop and they let us look at their uniforms and some equipment too!
This week we have been looking at the story 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' and thinking about how we could rewrite it with a Polar theme! We're going to write 'We're Going on a Polar Bear Hunt'.
Today, during our forest school session, we acted out the story of We're Going on a Bear Hunt and had too look around for things we could go over, under, through and into before running away from the scary shadow bear we found!
