KS1 Spring 1 Newsletter

We went on a walk around the village to study our local area. We stopped at various points throughout our walk, observing physical and human features around the village.

In Art we have been learning about William Morris. So far, the children have had a go at some observational drawings and at extending one of his pieces of artwork. 

KS1 went to visit the church. Reverend David did some singing with the children, which they all enjoyed. He spent some time discussing what churches are used for - christenings, weddings, funerals, communion. He spoke about churches being a place of sadness, as well as joy and happiness. He showed the children the different features of a church and ended the session with a prayer.
