DT
Our DT topic this half term has been freestanding structures. Year 1 have been exploring a range of freestanding structures in our local area and around the world, we have learnt about the meaning of stable and unstable and have looked at different joining techniques to support their own structures to make them more stable.
We have designed, built and evaluated our structures and have worked exceptionally as a team to communicate their ideas, compromise their differences and work together to build their structures.
Well done year 1!

Year 1 curriculum overview
Here is our Year 1 curriculum overview, this has all of the topics and skills which we are learning about this year.
Black History Month
To celebrate Black History Month, Key Stage 1 created some artwork based on the American artist Jean Michel Basquiat. He made pictures using bright colours and made lots of different marks on his paper.
The background was created by making expressive, gestural marks with oil pastels and their portrait was included something which is special to them to help others recognise their wonderful, unique artwork.
We listened to 3 different types of music; calm, happy and rhythmic music and chose the colour which suited the music the best.
They all did a fantastic job and we are very proud of them!
Here is an example of Basquiat's art:
Here, 1G are creating their art:
