We are very excited to have received some wonderful photos of Home Learning. We would love to see some more photos of Year 1 learning at home, so that we can add them to the Hall Of Fame; please send your pictures to: admin@st-marys.lewisham.sch.uk. We are very excited to have received these wonderful photos of our Year 1 children learning at home. This superstar has created a beautiful collage of the Garden of Gethsemane and completed an ‘All About Me’ activity with lots of wonderful sentences.

We coloured in our butterflies and thought about the best places to hide them around the classroom and outside. We also hid some small world play animals in the playground. Can you spot the snake? Activity 2
We looked at the similarities and differences between ourselves and our friends. We created life-size drawings of our partners by drawing around their bodies and compared them. The children in Year 1 used their knowledge of colour wheels and their skills of colour mixing to explore a range of artistic techniques. They learned how to print and how to apply paint using a wide range of materials to create shapes and patterns. These were used to create some wonderful collages.
Year 1 have been exploring Primary colours and how to use them to mix Secondary colours. They carefully painted these colour wheels and they will be using their colours to create lots more beautiful artwork!
In Design and Technology we used our super senses to smell, feel and taste sweet and salty popcorn. We also made popcorn for our Teddy Bear Picnic, where we read the story of the Three Super pigs. Thank you to all parents who attended our Teddy Bear Picnic.
In addition to that we tested different materials to see which one would be the best for a superhero cape. Then we designed and tested our very own Superhero capes. In History we learnt about super nurse Mary Seacole. We looked at the different characteristics that made her a superhero.
In Art we explored our cutting skills by cutting straight and curved lines as well as more complex shapes such as superhero call outs. We also cut out square shapes from yellow paper to make buildings on our amazing superhero class display.
In Science we explored our five super senses through different exciting experiments. We also went on an autumn walk.
