Year 2 focussed on dribbling in basketball this week. We thought about how to position our bodies and how to bounce the ball using only one hand. Then, we added movement to our dribbling! After focusing on the skill, we applied it to some short games of basketball.
As part of World Book Day, Year 3 looked at and investigated the journey of the pebble from the book The Pebble In My Pocket. We created compositions around the pebbles journey out of the volcano, then we were all given a pebble to look after across the day. This was the pebble in our pockets. We looked at becoming the pebble and writing pieces of direct speech by following all the key rules of direct speech. We then took our pebbles home and sent them on the next part of their journeys.
Reception, took part in a creative art activity inspired by spring.
For World Book Day, we focused on a book called Human Environmental Impact. The book links to our Art topic of Environmental Art. We found out some astonishing facts about how humans are affecting the earth. Plastic pollution in the oceans was a huge part of our focus. It is estimated that 171 trillion pieces of plastic are floating in our oceans, affecting marine life and ecosystems.
Our whole school LOVED moving our Friday worshipping community to our wonderful church, this morning, and what a morning it was! We were delighted to have so many of you there and hope to continue to see the church full to the rafters!
Reception enjoyed an afternoon in West Park, kicking off our new topic Signs of Spring and trying to find some signs of Spring of our own!
