We are thrilled that our trim trail is now ready to use. The monkey bars are a bit tricky but we like a challenge and know by the end of the year, after lots of practise, we will be able to make it most of the way, if not all the way across.
Year 3 and 4 thoroughly enjoyed their Christmas party. It was a pleasure to watch them dance, giggle and be merry.
Year 5 and 6 thoroughly enjoyed putting their glad rags on for their Christmas disco. The teachers were impressed with their dance moves and the children seemed to really enjoy themselves. It was lovely to see them all together.
The recorder group are really coming along and can now play a couple of different songs. The games group are improving on their strategising when challenging each other to some well known games.
Who would have thought learning with playdough could be so much fun. 6A were very excited about using playdough to respresent some of the causes of climate change. It helped to secure their knowledge of a vital yet complicated topic.
The children worked really hard to create their reports full of facts about The Polar Regions. We were really impressed with their final pieces. Underneath each hexagon is a variety of facts about the Arctic and Antarctica.
We shared how positivity and comp,I Enti get one another can make someone else’s day.
We’ve been doing a lot of research about the polar regions this week. Before we wrote our favourite facts, we created our own success criteria of what our informative writing should include. We also used the iPads to create our own Padlet about the polar landscapes.
Invasion games coupled with the seated balance and jumping and landing is the focus for KS2 this half term.
