A very creative week!

We had a very creative week in Year One last week! In Literacy we made our own 'creatures' to go behind the door in our story 'Knock, Knock, Who's there'. We used lots of junk modelling and playdough to make our creatures so we could make them very 'descriptive'. Some people made scales by pressing straws into the playdough and some people used straws for spikes! Lots of our models were very sparkly - the classroom looked like Christmas had come early with glitter everywhere! We then described our models putting our describing words in sentences. Here are some of our creatures - can you spot yours? 
 
In Topic we have been learning all about trains! We have been looking at trains 'through the ages', we looked at pictures of early trains and even thought about what people used before trains were invented! We sorted pictures of 'old' and 'new' transport and we practised our computing skills by creating pictures of trains using a painting programme. Here is Amaelia's amazing picture - look at the detail of the driver ringing the bell!


In Numeracy we have been learning all about shapes and patterns. We have learnt about the properties of shapes and have been writing facts about shapes in our books! We have made lots of patterns using unifix cubes, peg boards and shapes. Here are some of our patterns...

In RE we looked at the Creation Story. We made a story map to help us remember what happened in the story. Can you retell the story?
