Term 1
Hazel Class Term 1 Overview
DT
In Hazel Class we have been creating models of hedgehogs using clay. We have used tools various materials, tools, and techniques, experimenting with design, texture and form. The children used their imagination to create, invent, and problem-solve their sculptures. The children demonstrated confidence to use simple tools purposefully to mould and shape the clay. We had a little bit of extra fun and named our hedgehogs too.
RE
This week in RE our learning focus has been 'What place is special to Christians?' We went for a visit to our local church and discussed why this is a special place of worship. We looked at and identified the key features of a church, which included the alter, stained glass windows and the Bible.
Art
As part of our theme, I Am Special I Am Me, Hazel Class painted self-portarits, using a mirror to look at the details on on face. We also talked about how we are all similiar and different to each other.
Phonics and PE
Hazel Class commenced phonic lessons at Old Sodbury Primary School, utilising the Unlocking Letters and Sounds programme. The children have demonstrated commendable listening skills to say the phonemes and have made significant efforts in writing graphemes. Additionally, we have completed our first full week of school. A particular highlight was our PE session, where we donned our space boots and embarked on a journey to Mars through a captivating PE story, relishing the experience of moving in slow motion. The enthusiasm for learning has been truly inspiring.
Outdoor Learning
Our first week of staying for lunch. We have also been getting use to our outdoorlearning environment. Hazel class particularly enjoyed solving their puzzle pictures of their faces. What a great week!
