Year 1 were absolutely fantastic in their end of topic Indian performance.





The three dance teachers, Erinn, Evee and Ellie, were excellent when they led the Bollywood Jai Ho dance for the parents and grown-ups to watch.


The class sang Govinda Jai-Ha, a Hindu prayer song accompanied by percussion instruments and shared their writing and paintings.








Our new topic is Plants and we have been reading a book by Eric Carle called The Tiny Seed, which is all about the lifecycle of a seed. We have explored the artistic style of Eric Carle. Here we are designing flowers and bees with tissue paper for a classroom display, in the same style as Eric Carle.















Our display is in the role-play area of the classroom. We have had a lot of fun playing in the florist and looking after our sunflower seed that we planted in our groups. We are having a competition between our groups to see which seed becomes the tallest sunflower.













We went on a Science exploration around the school grounds. Our investigation took us plant hunting, studying the different types of plants and looking at the areas that they were growing in.







Spring is a perfect time for us to begin our topic.
