Trip To Wembury Beach
We had the best time at the beach and the children were a credit to Riverside. We made rockpools, created beach art, made sandcastles and enjoyed being out altogether in the fresh sea air!

Wembury Beach
In Year 1 we have been learning about the seaside and how it is called the coast. We have focused on looking at Wembury Beach and in particular the rockpools. We have learnt that limpets, crabs and starfish live in a rockpool as well as sea plants. To show what we have learnt we made our own rockpools using sand and stone. We even drew our own creatures to put inside.

Magical Adventure Day
What a fantastic day we had on our magical adventure day. First we had toast for breakfast so we were ready for the exciting day ahead. Next we took the torches to go on a hunt for night time animals in the drama studio. After that we took part in a range of activities including decorating owls using glow in the dark paints, using collage to create our own fox picture and using chalk to make bats pictures. We finished the afternoon with hot chocolate and a Christmas story.

Computing
This half term we have been using the paintz online programme to create pictures. First, we investigated the different tools from the tool bar and found which ones changed the size and colour of the lines. We then used the skills we have learnt to draw a picture of ourselves. Finally we inserted a text box and used the keyboard to type our names.

Science "Taste"
Year 1 have been investigating using our sense. We started by smelling different herbs and recording our favourite scent. This week were investigating taste. We have learnt there are 4 tastes; bitter, sweet, sour and salty and the children were excited to try the different tastes. We then tried a range of fruit and made a pictogram to show our favourites.

Roman Day
We had fun dressing up as Ancient Romans to celebrate our topic on Pompeii. We started the day investigating Roman artifacts and guessing what they were. We recognised the sandals and pots and learnt how to play the game knuckles (like Jacks). As a class we build our own volcano and loved watching them erupt. In the afternoon we prepared for battle by making our own shields and swords before conquering the rest of the school!!! What a fantastic way to end the end.

Wembury Trip
Today the Year 1 children had a wonderful morning exploring Wembury Beach. We had lots of fun creating pebble art, rambling over the rockpools and taking the time to stop and soak up the surroundings. All staff feel extremely proud of the children's behaviour and we cant wait to go on our next adventure together.

Computing Mondrian
In computing this term we have been creating our own digital artwork using Paintz. We investigated using the different tools from the task bar to see what we could create. We changed the size and colour of the drawing tool and learnt how to save our work. We then used the skills we have learnt to create a picture inspired by the artist Mondrian. We used the line and fill tool and remembered to only use the primary colours with black and white.
