Getting Active

At the start of both our morning and afternoon sessions we have been working on getting more physically active, to help get get our brains ready to learn. So far this week we have enjoyed doing “wake up shake up” dances and play dough disco, which also helps to develop our fine motor skills. It’s been lovely to see the children so active and involved!

Soft Play

As part of our Tuesday afternoon hall time we have been learning some circle games such as duck duck goose and farmers in his den. This week we was lucky enough to have some of our new soft play equipment arrive! The children loved working together to build towers with the shapes and race on the bouncey horses.

Finding Common Nouns

1M not only impressed Mr Meade and Mrs Duckitt, but also Mrs Graves who popped in during our physically active English lesson. The children learned what a common noun was and understood it is was a person, place or thing! #LovePlover

Health and fitness in Y4.

The children had a PE lesson today based on health and fitness. They worked so hard completing different fitness circuits (some circuits a lot harder than others!) Great work Year 4!

Today, year 5 have been practicing their hockey and working on improving their passing skills. They had begun to start defending the ball and they are improving weekly. Well done year 5!

Fine Motor

This week we have been practising our fine motor skills. I have set the children the challenge of being able to put their own coats on and zip/button them up. It would be great if you can support your child in learning this skill at home too.

Yesterday, 4B had a great hockey skills session in PE. They worked well in groups to pass the ball to each other with care and precision. Well done! I can’t wait to see how your skills will progress.
