As part of our topic, a vet came into the classroom to tell us about the work that they do looking after animals and making them better. We dressed up as a vet and looked after an elephant - not a real one of course!
This is the composer Prokofiev, he is famous. He does the music for Peter and the Wolf. Somebody who writes music is called a 'composer'. Peter and the Wolf is a piece of music with some characters: Peter, a wolf, Sonia the Duck, a bird, a cat and grandpa. The music is the voices of the characters.
Here we are lying down with our eyes closed and listening to the music and thinking about the characters using our imaginations.
We had Mrs Thwaites teaching us on Thursday. Here we are writing short stories and using musical instruments for the animal characters. We were very good at this.
Here we are playing our instruments and writing our stories.
Here is a short video of one of the groups telling their story and playing the instruments.
We hope that Mrs Thwaites had a lovely first day back with Year One.
