 Fun at Frinton!

We were all so excited that we could go on our school trip to Frinton beach, and despite a few drizzles of rain, we had an incredible day.  The children were wowed by their first sight of the sea, were so good at finding all the things on their scavenger hunt and built superb castles!  Having a paddle seemed to be the favourite activity though, jumping over the waves and enjoying see their teachers getting rather wet, brought huge smiles to their faces.  We are so so proud of their fantastic behaviour throughout the day too. 


Amazing Art!

In our art lessons we have been looking at seascapes by Rachet Bennett.  In order to create our own, we have been practising our colour mixing and creating sea and sandy coloured backgrounds to print on.  We used string, scrunched up tin foil and bubble wrap to print onto our painted paper.  We will then tear these papers into strips and pick out ones we like to create our own seascape printed paper collages. 








There has been so much else going on in Year one over the past couple of weeks too!  Pattern making and measuring in maths, learning about the bravery of Grace Darling and writing her story in English, investigating the best material for a lifeboat in science and to top it all off, an awesome sports day!  The children were amazing sportspeople, cheering others on, persevering even when they were worn out and giving every event their absolute best.  We couldn't be more proud!
