Reception children have been working hard to improve their co-ordination and balance focusing on their footwork and their one legged balance. They are putting their skills to good practise whilst riding their magical invisible bikes around the hall.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our skills academy sessions and we are so pleased we can still take part in different activities on a Friday afternoon in our bubble. Learning new skills (and teaching Miss Appleton TikTok dances), is a great way to end the week!
Year 6 enjoyed taking part in messy hair day and the cake sale this week for Children In Need. Thank you to everyone who took part and for sending lots of cakes in for the children to buy.
Year 6 have enjoyed the opportunity to take part in Zumba sessions at lunchtime on a Friday. A big thank you to Jennifer Kelly (dance teacher) who provides a free Zumba session each week.
This half term, our focus in one of our PE lessons is Invasion Games. We have a lot of competitive children in the year group!
In PE this half term, one of our skills we are trying to perfect is the seated balance which we then hope will assist us in certain games. It harder than it sounds/looks!
We spent some time at the beginning of our new topic exploring the polar regions. We worked in groups using QR codes which took us to websites full of information. Our challenge was to select the most relevant facts and produce our own posters.
On Wednesday we became polar explorers for the day. Our guide was a real adventurer who has visited both The Arctic and The Antarctic. He shared his experiences with us and we loved watching his video clips and seeing his photos. Our knowledge was put to the test as were our team building skills.
Our skills academy group took a break from multi-sports this week and helped Mr Taylor and Mr Woan to keep our wider school grounds tidy. It was hard work but we really enjoyed ourselves and Mr Taylor was very thankful for our help.
