The boys have been getting ready for Christmas in Room 1! Look at the fantastic penguin and Christmas tree art they made.

In Room 1, we explored the art of Gustav Klimt. We talked about his life and we created a ‘Tree of Life’ inspired by the work of Klimt.

In Room 1, the boys have worked very hard this term on their genre writing. So far, we have explored report writing, procedural writing and recount writing. This week, the boys completed their first completely independent piece of recount writing. They spent lots of time planning their writing and then produced this amazing work! We could not be prouder of them.

Look at our amazing winter art! The boys loved creating these penguins and snowman and we think you’ll agree that their work is as cool as ice!

Over the past two weeks in P.E, the boys in Room 1 have been learning and creating some super dances. Check out their amazing moves!

In First Class we are learning about big feelings and how we learn to feel our feelings. We have been talking about joy. We decided on a class definition of joy and then we talked about all of the things that made us feel joy in our lives. The boys also named some things that they can do if they want to feel joy, they came up with some super ideas. We loved their joyful pictures 🙂

We created some cool winter art today and the boys really enjoyed making their penguins and snowmen!

The boys have been learning all about space. They have really enjoyed all of our space themed music, writing, science, history and geography. They particularly enjoyed our space art! Look at the amazing creations they painted. We think that they’re out of this world!

The boys also enjoyed the dancing raisins experiment during Science Week. They put raisins in fizzy water and observed what happened.

Raisins are denser than the liquid in the fizzy water, so initially they sink to the bottom of the glass. The water releases carbon dioxide bubbles. When these bubbles stick to the rough surface of a raisin, the raisin is lifted because of the increase in buoyancy. When the raisin reaches the surface, the bubbles pop, and the carbon dioxide gas escapes into the air. This causes the raisin to lose buoyancy and sink.

The boys loved watching their raisins dance!

The boys have been so patient and look at the results. Their flower experiments demonstrated how food and water travel from the roots, up through the stem of the flowers. We are super scientists in Room 1 🙂
