Year 1 have been very artistic this week, completing wonderful artwork in their History and RE lessons. In RE they learnt all about the celebration of Hanukkah and made their own Hanukkiah’s using handprints. They also spent time learning about Remembrance Day and making poppy prints using apples dipped in paint. In English this week they wrote some beautiful Remembrance Day poetry about peace and what it means to them. Here are some of their wonderful extracts:

Peace feels like you are petting a rabbit 

Peace looks like the sun is shining

Peace smells like poppy flowers 

Peace sounds like birds chirping in the trees 

By Caroline

Peace feels like a swirl of happiness and a little bit of sadness because the soldiers died

Peace looks like a hundred poppies growing 

Peace smells like roses and poppies 

Peace sounds like baby animals and birds squeaking 

Peace sounds like everybody laughing at Battersea Park 

By Hope

Peace feels like happiness

Peace feels like I am sitting on a cloud 

Peace smells like fresh grass 

Peace sounds quiet 

By Annabel
