Running Week 2 - Ruskin Park

Watch our improved running in Week 2s edition of Brixton Running News! 

This week we all ran 1 or 2km around a gloriously sunny Ruskin Park. 

If you missed last weeks video check it out here! 

How did you improve from Week 1 to Week 2? 

Did you prefer Ruskin Park or Brockwell Park? Why?

Quentin Blake

Our key text this term, The Green Ship,  is by the author and illustrator Quentin Blake.

Here is a video of Quentin Blake talking 

about the power of illustration.

My favourite bit in the video was when he showed us all the different covers that he made for the Green Ship. 

Which bit was your favourite?

Writing workshops on the Green Ship

We have been redrafting and improving our writing on Quentin Blake's book the Green Ship this week in our writing conferences.

Working with an adult we improved our spelling and worked on improving our writing by using our writing targets. We even  re-drafted some key sentences to make our writing even more fantastic.

 What writing target have you been working on?

We can find totals!

Look how many ways we were able to make 10p! 

This week we began to learn the value of coins. We can now recognise 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p. 

How can you make 10p with coins?

Learning to Map Brixton

"We drew our house and then our route to school."

"I included Hollybush Walk and bus routes like the P4" 

"I put Hill Mead School and my house with the train station, tube station and shops" 

What can you see on your way to school?

Yummy new menu

 We have all been really enjoying the new school dinner menu in Year 1 this week. Here are some photos of what we have been eating; it all looks delicious.
