Autumn 1 – Week 3

Stars of the Week: Dhani and Leon

Dhani and Leon worked diligently during our art lesson on colour mixing, showing great focus and creativity. They explored how to mix primary colours to create secondary colours. 

This week in Class 1

This week, Class 1 had an exciting time creating colour monster wheels, inspired by the work of the artist Kandinsky. The children were brilliant at recalling facts about Kandinsky, especially how he used colour theory in his artwork. We started by revising our primary colours—red, yellow, and blue—before exploring how to mix them to create secondary colours like green, orange, and purple. The children loved experimenting with the different colour combinations, and their colour monster wheels are a fantastic display of their creativity and learning. Take a look at some of their wonderful examples!


In English, Class 1 worked in groups to retell the events from The Tiger Who Came to Tea by creating their own story maps. Each group put the events of the story in order. After working together to make their posters, the children proudly presented them to the class, explaining the scenes using words like ‘first’, ‘then’ and ‘finally’. It was wonderful to see how well they remembered the events and worked as a team to bring the story to life. Well done, Year 1!

Finally, thank you for attending the curriculum evening earlier this week. I hope it was informative! As always, I am available at 8:40 everyday to discuss any quick concerns or questions. 

I have attached the slides from the curriculum evening if you were not able to make it. Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Have a lovely weekend, 

Miss Kandiah
