Year 1 Entry Point
This week in Year 1 we’ve had a very exciting start to our new topic ‘Say Cheese!’. We set up our very own catwalk in the hall and the children came to school dressed as their favourite book or film character. We walked down the catwalk doing our best poses whilst our peers used the iPads to take photographs. When we returned to the classroom we looked at what made a good photograph and sorted the photos we had taken to see which were successful and which were unsuccessful.
