Jogging...Walk: Year 1 Music

 Year 1 are focussing on RHYTHM in their music lessons.

This week they created, then clapped, their own short rhythm patterns using 'Walk' and 'Jogging' (Crotchets and quavers).

They also copied down patterns that Mr Griffiths clapped! 

They did a fantastic job - can you read their patterns?

Year 1 Lime Class join in the French Day and Safer Internet Week fun!

During the last week of term, Lime Tree learnt about internet safety. We thought about the different ways we use computers and the internet and how we can use them in a safe and careful way. We thought about what makes us unique and created posters of our favourite emojis, online games and slogans.

On the last day of term we then got to join in the fun activities to celebrate 'French Day'! We looked at the French flag and re-created our own using the collage technique. After all that hard work, we then enjoyed a delicious French-themed lunch. Tres bien!

Year 1 - Lime Class at the Tower of London

This week Lime class visited the Tower of London. We met some friendly Kings and Queens, a Yeoman and even saw the changing of the guard. Later in the day we got to try out jousting, firing a bow and arrow and firing a canon.

Year 1 - Lime Class Mini Chef

We finished off the last half term by trying out our cooking skills with Mini Chef!

We chopped, peeled and made a lot of bundles of spaghetti until we created a delicious vegetable bolognese.

What a great success it was, selling out by the end of the day.

Thank you to all of those we bought our dish!

Year 1 - Lego Workshop

This week Damson, Juniper, Lemon and Lime have had a special Lego workshop in Year 1 to complement our theme of Marvellous Machines.


We first constructed two villages, including houses, stations, docks and airports. We then set about connecting them by road, rail, river and sky using a variety of cunning contraptions.


It was a fantastic opportunity to let our imaginations run wild and some of our Lego creations were truly spectacular!

Year 1 Music - Chocolate Rhythms!

Year 1 have been using names of chocolate bars to make up rhythms.

They have then turned the rhythms into music notation.

Today we had our first go at writing the rhythms down.

We practiced clapping thm through all together.
