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.
Year 6 had fun making electrical circuits and experimenting how to light a bulb using fruit.
