Welcome to the Blackfoot Class page. Here you can see some of our displays and find out what we have been doing recently. Blackfoot Class consists of Years 1 and 2 and is taught by Miss Tiplady with Mrs Hart.

Looking back at the Spring Term: We had a wonderful term looking at the question ‘Why are leaves green’? As part of science week we looked at our garden environment and how plants grow and what animals use the plants to survive.

We made models of flowers to show the roots, stem, leaves and petals. We designed a’ bee friendly’ garden and used the computers to write about the water cycle and tell the story of ‘Drippy the raindrop’!

We have thoroughly enjoyed our topic this half of the term which has been all about France. Our learning challenge question to start off the topic was “What would my life be like if I lived in France?” We had a French Breakfast which included croissants, waffles and hot chocolate which the children really enjoyed tasting. We looked at the Eiffel tower and thought about how it was designed and how we could build our own Eiffel tower using spaghetti and marshmallows. It made a fantastic science experiment to test out our theories on forces and stability. Also this half term we took part in the RSPB BIRDWATCH week and in the photo you can see a keen group of bird spotters counting the bird they can see in the school grounds from our class window!

Looking back at the Autumn Term: We have been reading poems for National Poetry Day and we decorated our door in the style of Jump and Jiggle by Evelyn Beyer. In our English lessons we have been discussing whether Goldilocks should say sorry.

This is our writing wall where we put up exciting sentences and also our staying safe display board which helps us to think about how we can look after ourselves and others.

We have had a really busy time in Blackfoot class this term with lots of exciting learning opportunities! We have been working hard on our phonics and handwriting skills.

We enjoy the opportunity to paint and do creative tasks based on the work we are doing in class and we have been very proud of the writing work we have been doing.
