Welcome to Hedgehog Class
Miss Faulkner, Mrs Gough, Mrs Cutler and Mrs Gibbs
Year 1 Art Project
Year 1 have been looking at the famous ‘Starry Night’ painting by Vincent Van Gogh in
their Art learning. The children started by learning about the primary colours and then
mixing their own secondary colours in preparation for painting their own ‘Starry Night’
paintings. The children explored different lines and how to create effects using line.
The children have created some beautiful artwork.
Thank you all for participating in our “Your time to Shine Day” in school today. The children were so bright and visible! We had some excellent outfits and accessories and were overwhelmed with the amount of thought and effort put in them.
Every child who took part today has received a reflective item to wear or attach to their coats or bags. We had a very difficult decision deciding on a boy and a girl class winner as there were some truly outstanding entries. The winners were:
Owls: Ellis and Isla
Rabbits: Crawford and Isabelle
Squirrels: Toby and Asia
Badgers: Kai and Adwoa
Hedgehogs: Tyler and April
Otters: Stefan and Martha
Foxes: Jaxon and Sienna
Moles: Darcey and Isaac
Woodpeckers: Charlie-Jack and Penny
We ran a "Beep Beep Road Safety Day" for all children at Fairfield to highlight the importance of road safety and talked to the children about staying safe on the roads and gave them basic messages about the dangers of traffic. In particular, we talked about the importance of children holding hands with a grown up when walking near roads to help keep them safe. We also talked about how to cross roads safely with a grown up.
Children wrote postcards to their parents asking you to help keep them safe.
They are asked them to:
• always hold their hand when walking near roads
• always find a safe place to cross the road
• show them how to look out for traffic by using the Green Cross Code
• always walk on the pavement or footpath Please talk to your child about the messages on their postcard, and display their artwork proudly to show them you understand the importance of keeping them safe near roads.
Here are some examples of their learning....
We've been talking about Road Safety in Hedgehogs this week. We've talked about holding our grown-up's hand, looking left and right, and using both our sight and our hearing to help us check when it is safe to cross.
