We have been busy in Art creating different 3D paper sculptures! We worked together to create a 3D paper sculpture of The Tree of Life. We used folding and shaping techniques that we learned in previous lessons to sculpt butterflies, bees, snakes and flowers to attach onto the trees. Take a look at our work below, don't they all look fabulous!
What an exciting adventure we have been on!! All the way to The North Pole!!All dressed in our cosy, fluffy pyjamas, dressing gowns and slippers we started the day by watching the start of the film. We watched the boy begin his journey boarding the train and went with him on his adventure to the North Pole. The children were then so excited to use their own tickets and board the Polar Express train that had come to visit us in the small hall!! They enjoyed yummy hot chocolate and marshmallows! After singing along to the theme tune and having their photos taken, they returned to the classroom to draw a picture of their exciting morning and write a diary extract. We were so impressed with their train drawings and sentences and were really pleased that the experience had proven to inspire their imagination and influence the quality of their responses. Take a look at the photos.
Merry Christmas to you all!

The Year One children and staff
