Year 5 RotaKids Conference
On Friday, six pupils from Year 5 attended the annual RotaKids Conference at the University of Cumbria. They had the opportunity to take part in a variety of different fascinating activities, such as: learning how to keep our bodies healthy, extracting DNA from a strawberry and making poo; learning all about the life cycle of hornets and tasting local honey straight from the hive; learning about water safety from the Fire and Rescue Service; getting the chance to look inside a fire engine and even having a go with the powerful water hose! The children had a fantastic day and demonstrated excellent behaviour, with the staff commenting on how polite our pupils were.
Year 1 PE: Overarm Throwing
Year 1 have been practising their Overarm throwing skills. Today, we have 3 different types of stations. The first challenge was for Year 1 to throw a beanbag onto a shape. The shapes could either score them 2,5 or 10 points. This also helped us to count in our times tables. The second challenge was to throw three quoits into three hoops that were placed at different distances. This was tricky as the quoits can roll away so Year 1 had to use the correct amount of power in their throw. The final challenge was passing to each other, alternating between overarm and underarm throwing.
Kids with Bricks Lego Club
For our final Kids with Bricks Lego Club, the children enjoyed a session without a set theme, where they could really use their imagination and create whatever they liked. A special well done to our Builder of the Week - Thomas!
