‘Animals In Hands’

Our Year 1 and Year 2 children enjoyed an exciting and informative workshop today from ‘Animals In Hands’. The children shared their knowledge of animal groups and were able to see and touch some of the animals that we have been learning about in Science. We saw a stick insect, a tarantula, a tree frog, a baby barn owl, a skunk and a python.

Our Learning This Week

The children have started our new topic on Japan with great enthusiasm and have been busy creating fact-files about the country. We have then used our research to help us to produce some non-chronological reports.

In Art, we have been learning about the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. We read the lovely book ‘Yayoi Kusama Covered Everything In Dots And Wasn’t Sorry’ by Fausto Gilberti. We were then inspired to produce our own paintings using polka dots.

We have also created some collages and tried our hand at origami!
