Dragonflies (Year 1)

Dragonfly

Autumn Term 25

Tiger in a Tropical Storm

The Dragonflies started their Art topic by looking at, ‘Tiger in a Tropical Storm (Surprised!)’
by Henri Rousseau​. They talked about what they liked and disliked and then drew their favourite parts of the artwork. They made some super observations during our class discussion. Great work, Dragonflies!

Self Portraits

The Dragonflies had great fun creating backgrounds for their self-portraits using a variety of colourful paper strips. They then spent time thinking about what they looked like and drawing themselves to complete their colourful backgrounds. Keep your eyes peeled to see the end results!

We’re excited to begin a magical new term with our Year 1 children. Our theme is “Once Upon a Time”, where stories leap off the page and adventures are just around the corner.

Amongst other things, this term we will:

  • Dive into traditional tales in English - reading, retelling, acting out and writing exciting stories.
  • Explore simple map skills - following trails, using symbols and plotting our own story journeys.
  • Create artwork inspired by Henri Rousseau’s jungle scenes - think bold leaves, traditional tale creatures and lots of colour!

Check back regularly to see what we have been up to. Let the story begin!
