Back Together Again

Published on 22nd March

The children in Year 1 made this lovely piece of collaborative art. Each child coloured and decorated their own puzzle piece and then they joined them up to show how they are all back together.

As part of our history topic, year 1s have been learning about life in the Stone Age. They found out about cave paintings, the invention of farming and early settlements such as Skara Brae, and how Stonehenge was built, among so many other things. They had great fun exploring different materials to make pots, built settlements and Stonehenge using some very creative construction, and created wonderful pieces of art. Then they explored the new inventions of the Bronze Age and Iron Age, learnt to weave, and made 'iron' weapons and coins, and finished off with a 'virtual' Iron Age feast. This is just some of the fantastic learning that the year 1s at home have done this term. Well done Year 1.
