We have been on the gym equipment today which we were all very excited about. 

What a fantastic PE session Class 1 have had with Mrs Castell today!

Using the skills the children have been focusing on this term, Class 1 took part in a superhero themed obstacle course. They challenging their balancing, jumping, listening and catching skills throughout the obstacle…

This week Class 1 enjoyed a winter walk. Before we went out, we learnt about the different seasons and the signs we can look for to help us know which season it is.

On our walk, the children worked in pairs to tick of items on a tick list when they spotted them. We didn’t manage to spot…

In our RE session we continued to find out about why some stories are so special. We talked about the bible and how Jesus was a great story teller and used his stories to share special messages with his followers.

The children have been using various equipment in Gymnastics to hold a number of poses.

We have had our first Junior cadets session working with our local PCSO today.

Recently during computing lessons we have been using an app called Scratch, to programme a sprite to move across the screen in different ways. This week we have created a few short animations such as a giraffe eating leaves from a tree and a dancing unicorn at a party! 
 

Class 1 today had some special visitors who came to talk to us about how to care for our teeth.
 

The school nurses bought their friend Charlie and his giant tooth brush and toothpaste and the children helped him to brush his teeth. Everyone worked together to sort different food and drinks…

What fun Class 1 had this week in our PE lesson! Mrs Castell was so impressed with the children’s balance and agility skills and their listening. All the children enjoyed using the benches and equipment and playing the games together at the end. 

I wonder what skills the children will work on…
