This morning’s awful weather threatened to stop our P.E. plans, but we weren’t deterred – instead, we became active in the classroom with some games and practicing mindfulness and flexibility with a yoga session.

Mark Making
F1 have been exploring chalk and paint in different way today to create patterns. We used a variety of different tools such as cotton buds, brushes, toothbrushes and sponges. We laid on our tummies whilst doing this to work our stomach muscles, and practise our gross motor skills at the same time.

1C are Mathematicians.
In Maths, we got moving with our favourite warm-up, Hollabaloo (click here if you’d like to join in at home!). We then practised comparing numbers by building them, drawing them, and making the correct comparison symbols (<, >, =).
These are tricky, tricky, tricky words!
Today in English, 1C have been learning all about tricky words – these are the words we can’t sound out using phonics. We went on a tricky word hunt around the classroom, looking carefully for all the tricky words we could find. The challenge was even harder because there were some words that weren’t tricky words – so we had to decide which ones to collect!
After our hunt, we practiced reading, making, writing, and using our tricky words in sentences. A special shout-out to Edith, who wrote some wonderful sentences – well done, Edith!
Ping Pong Pete
Yesterday, Year 5 had great fun playing Ping Pong with Ping Pong Pete! The children were full of energy and enthusiasm as they got stuck into the game, and it was wonderful to see how quickly they picked up the rhythm and the new skills.
Everyone really impressed me with how well they listened to each other. They worked hard on taking turns and waiting patiently, which made the activities run smoothly and kept it fun for everyone. There was lots of cheering, encouragement, and laughter as they practised new skills — and they soon showed they were pretty good at it too!
Playing Ping Pong with Pete gave the children the chance to practise important skills like coordination, timing, and teamwork. It was also a fantastic way to build confidence, as each child had the chance to step forward and join in.
Thank you Pete and well done, Year 5 — you showed great focus, cooperation, and enjoyment. I can’t wait to see you developing even more new skills as the term goes on!

Balance Coordination in PE
In PE we continued to develop our gross motor skills and fundamental movements, agility, balance, coordination. We played the bean game, birthday candle tig, then bounced, jumped, hopped in hoops, on stepping stones and over coloured spots. #LovePlover
