We Did It! Year 5
Congratulations! Year 5 have completed a six week programme with ‘Move and Learn’. The coaches were overwhelmed with their passion and dedication to the classroom, outdoor sessions and homework. They have learnt about what physical activity is, the benefits of moving and how you can keep hydrated and have a balanced and varied diet. We are super, super proud of them!
Design and Technology- Year 5
On Friday, Year 5 learnt the fundamental skills of threading a needle, tying a knot and creating a running stitch. This will help us over the next few weeks when we stitch our designs made out of felt, sequins, buttons and other accessories onto our Christmas t-shirt.
Year 2 D.T
On Friday, Year 2 had a busy afternoon planning and designing their own Christmas fruit kebabs. We looked at some images of fruit kebabs and came up with our own designs. We also decided which fruits would be the most suitable and how much our fruit kebabs will cost!
