In One Red and One BLue this week we have been learning all about the Aurora in Learning Means the World. The children created beautiful pictures in their Art lesson to create the ‘Northern Lights’. They used different coloured pastels to rub and create beautiful representation of the night sky colourful explosions.
This week in LMTW we have been looking at links with other countries. The children were asked if they had any family or friends who lived in different countries, then they talked to each other about them. We shared various greetings from other countries such as ‘ola’, ‘bonjour’, ‘guten tag’ and ‘namaste’. The children had great fun working in partners greeting each other in different languages. We also looked at the world map to see where some of our family and friends lived.
This week in Year One we have been focusing on 2d and 3d shapes in Math’s and discussing their various properties. We have sorted, classified, arranged and looked for different shapes in the environment. A large focus of the week was using associated vocabulary related to the different shapes. We have enjoyed searching for shapes in our learning provison.

Today in Science, 3 Red carried out an investigation to see which objects we could see our reflection in . We then used torches to check if light could be reflected from the objects.
After that, we discussed which item would be most useful in giving light in the hold of a ship for a slave travelling from Africa to America in the 1700s.
The children decided that a mirror would be the most useful object, as it would reflect the light.
