Class One have been drawing their own story maps for their journey text topic, based on Where The Wild Things Are. In talk4writing we learn a text with actions using a story map of pictures to represents words, phrases and sentences as our guide, this helps all children to internalise the language features and the ‘tune’ for the story.

Inspired by a dandelion Nursery’s learning led to to many creative outcomes.
In RE, we have been reflecting upon creation. After discussing the awe and wonder of the natural world, the children were challenged to think about how the world was made. They then used artwork to represent their own ideas.
After looking at “The Snail” by Henri Matisse, the children were inspired to create their own colourful cut out pictures. They returned to their artwork several times, adding, modifying and adapting.
Nursery have been busy looking for signs of spring and have created some beautiful flower pictures and Mother’s Day cards. They have all been thinking about their special mums.
Humpty Dumpty Fun.
During the last two weeks of lockdown, Class One focused on the Nursery Rhyme Humpty Dumpty. At home and in school, the children explored the rhyme and engaged in a range of cross curricular activities. They used drama to retell the rhyme; went through the magic mirror to interview Humpty Dumpty; identified the rhyming words; created rhyming strings; changed the main character and wrote their own rhyme; wrote a letter to Humpty Dumpty with a solution to his problem of always falling off walls; investigated how to stop Humpty Dumpty from cracking and also created cracked egg patterns.
This week all children took part in 2 days of collaborative art led by the artist Kate Johnston, to create two beautiful school banners. These banners are inspired by our new school vision.
Along with our 3 words courage, ambition & kindness.
The children were actively involved in drawing, printmaking and sewing. All the words, phrases and drawings were created by the children linked to Clun River and their understanding and interpretation of our vision and 3 words.
Guided by Kate’s artistic skills the children have worked to brilliantly together to create these powerful and striking pieces ready to be sewn together to create 2 distinctive banners. The finished banners will be displayed in the hall and entrance way in the new year.
The sound of bells could be heard in Clun on Wednesday, to our surprise we had a special visitor waiting in our reception… it was Father Christmas!
The children were so excited to see Santa and tell him about their Christmas preparations – just look at the joy on their faces!
Santa told us all the tasty treats he and the reindeer like to eat on their special journey around all the children’s houses on Christmas Eve.
This week, Class One performed their nativity “One night in Bethlehem”. This year, the children took real ownership of the performance. The Year One children wrote the recount for the narrators, all of the children chose which character they would like to be, they decided on the props and also the dialogue. It was amazing, well done everyone.
Class One have been busy making Christmas gifts for the Mayfair Community Centre project. As a special present, these robins will be delivered to the elderly and vulnerable with their meal pack over Christmas. A big thank you to Kirsty Stevens for providing the materials.
