These children have done amazing this week and moved up in number club. Well done Demi, Lexi, Spohie, Evie, Katie, Megan and Niah.
This morning the Puffin class were using their listening skills to follow the instructions from their partner to draw a picture without seeing it. This is part of their instructions for their English this week.
The children listened very well and Brooke Ba and Brooke Be did an amazing job.
This week Puffins are learning all about telling the time in Maths. Today we have made our own watches and shared the different times with each other. The children were able to identify half past and o’clock with no help at all.
This week in English, the Puffins are learning all about instructions. Today, we have used our ‘Talk for Writing’ skills to put actions to instructions to help our friend make a pirate hat.
Today Puffins class have been looking at what materials sink and float in Science.
‘The metal is heavy it will sink” – Katie
“The balloon is really light it will probably float” Evie
“The air makes it float”
Today Puffins have been talking about what makes a good friend. They had lots of ideas of what friendship and how to be a good friend. We then wrote who our best friend is and 3 reasons why they are good friends.
Today Mrs Sargeant has displayed all of Puffin class’ Pirate work. They have worked very had on junk model Pirate ships, split pin pirates and fantastic Pirate poems.
Year 1 Puffins write algorithm instructions using Purple Mash’s 2Go. Mr Baddhan asked the children to use the town map to direct their car from the starting location to a destination provided.
It was great to see the children understand their directions and seeing their instructions on paper.
During today’s Computing lesson with Mr Baddhan, Puffins added effects and manipulated their own photos. Building with the knowledge they gained from yesterday’s lesson, Puffins used the program Phoxo to make their photos looks special.
Mr Baddhan was very impressed how quickly learning about special effects including colour tones, shadow, greyscale, blur and other various filters.
Well done Puffins.
During Computing, Year 1 learned about photo manipulation and adding effects using a program called PhoXo.
Mr Baddhan explained to the children that manipulation means changing the photograph by adding different effects. The children tried adding various effects including distorting, adding colour tones and adding text effects.
Puffins really enjoyed today’s lesson. Tomorrow the children will focus on adding effects to their own selfies.
