Hello Year 1
We hope you're all well and enjoying the activities we've been setting. This week we thought we would introduce the theme of day and night and shadows. Take a look at the art activity to find out how you can make your very own shadow puppet theatre. Once you've made it you can have hours and hours of fun retelling your favourite stories.
Well done to those of you who have been learning lots of new skills whilst at home like riding a bike, baking or making instruments and tools. We've loved seeing your photos so look out for yours on the website soon.

If you feel inspired to create some artwork at home then why not design some posters showing that you support our wonderful NHS staff?
Many children throughout the country are creating rainbow posters and placing them in their windows. The idea is help key workers be happy on their way to work each morning.
Think about adding a rainbow to your design. This is a symbol that many children are using to show that they support the brave NHS staff who work in our hospitals.
We would love to share any of your posters on the Michael Faraday School website! You can scan in your poster, or take a photo of it with a phone, and then upload using the box below.
