Arts Week!

Hello! I hope you are all enjoying your half term! I am sure you are all having lots of fun and are very busy! If you do start looking for things to do towards the end of the week remember your home learning and to practise your letters and sounds! 

I am very excited about next week as it is our Arts Week! The theme across the school is the 'Seven Natural Wonders of the World'. Do you know what they are? Watch this video to find out more...

In Year One we are going to be learning about the amazing Victoria Falls which are found along the Zambezi River which divides Zimbabwe and Zambia, both of these countries are in Africa. You might like to find out some facts about the falls to share with the class when we come back! 

They are beautiful aren't they! We will be learning about the falls, and Africa, all across the curriculum.

•  In Literacy we will be following the blog of a young girl in Africa and finding out about her adventures at the falls. 
• In Numeracy we are going to be exploring/sorting African art and thinking about water and capacity. 
• In Guided Reading we will be looking at a range of books, both fiction and non-fiction, that look at different parts of the topic. 
• In Topic time we are going to look at african art, pattern and dance masks and have a go at making our own! We are also going to have an african dance workshop where we will get to learn some african beats on drums too!
