Super sports club- Week 3
Week 3 was all about football. We learnt a very important word “control”. We learnt how to stop a moving ball, passing with the correct part of our foot and learning to dribble with control.
Reception-Yoga
This morning in reception we had a go at yoga. We stretched up tall, balanced on one leg, marched, rolled into a ball, stretched out wide and lots more! We followed the story “we’re going on a bear hunt” and we acted out the scenes through our yoga session.
Reception- Rhyme time.
Just before lunch Miss Baxendale got the rhyme time bag out. We had so much fun singing in different voices and acting out the rhymes. It was so lovely to see everyone joining in. What a bunch of superstars!
Football Practice
This week’s session the children worked on various techniques associated with keeping possession of the ball. The children then took this technique and practised that within their various games that they played; each featuring a different way of scoring such as, multiple goals, dribbling through gates and achieving more than ten passes.
Rev Ben’s worship- God’s promise to Abraham
This morning Rev Ben led our Collective Worship. We first had to guess how many stars were on the screen. We had lots of guesses such a millions, thousands etc. We realised that it is very hard to count stars. We then listened to a Bible Story about Abraham counting stars and how God promised to rescue the world through Abraham’s family. He told him that he would have a big family. Abraham and his wife Sarah were really old so didn’t believe when God said that they would have a baby. But they did have a baby called Isaac, meaning son of laughter. Rev Ben told us that God is always generous and was generous to Abraham and Sarah. That promise that God made to Abraham about having a big family and in his family there would be a rescuer- Jesus, came true. Rev Ben then reminded us about Black History month as we are focusing on that this month. He told us that Jesus said that God loves everyone from every country, of every skin colour and of every language. We finished with a reflection of the story, a prayer and then sang ‘Waymaker’.
Reception: MUGA Fun
Reception class are so lucky to have access to our MUGA throughout the day! Our outdoors is always open no matter the weather. The Ducklings enjoy putting on their puddlesuits and wellingtons to practise ball skills and their fundamental skills.
Reception: Owl Babies
This week our Ducklings have been learning how to print and make creations using a variety of resources. We read the story of owl babies and then they created Sarah, Percy, Bill and Mummy owl. Super creations and paintings!
Year 5 - Investigating evaporation
Year 5 have continued to look at reversible and irreversible changes. This week we had a look at how we can recover a dissolved substance that has been dissolved in water. We used the example of salt and ink. We demonstrated that when heat is applied to a solution you can evaporate the water and what’s left in the pan will be the substance originally dissolved in the water.
Reception: Phonics
Today, our Ducklings learnt the ‘s’ sound in phonics. We looked at objects that have ‘s’ in them such as snake, nest, soup and spider. We then practised writing the grapheme in different ways.
Year 5 - Library visit
Today year 5 got to experience a workshop that was being hosted by Louie Stowell. She explained and promoted her series of books - Loki and engaged with all the children answering questions about her achievements. The children took part in creating their own god’s while replicating the main characters from her book series.
