Swimming

This was our last week of swimming lessons. We have all enjoyed our visits to Eastwood High for our lessons. We have  learnt lots of new skills to improve our water confidence, stroke technique and  endurance.  We were delighted to receive our certificates too!

Taekwondo

We continued our sporting endeavours this week with a Taekwondo taster session.  With a partner, we tried some kicking and punching routines with pads.  Unfortunately, Miss Bennett forgot to take the camera to get some action shots! 🙁

Committees

Everyone was delighted to hear who would be in committees this year.  The wait was finally over at assembly today!

Open Afternoons

We enjoyed welcoming our parents and grandparents into the class this week.  We enjoyed participating in a range of team tasks.  Our favourites were the ‘Cup Challenge’ and the ‘Coin Run.’  We will continue to develop our team working skills in the coming weeks through our mini enterprise topic.

International Aid

This week we learnt about international aid as part of our research into our big question: How Do World Events Affect Children’s Rights?

“It was fun learning about how other people have to live.  It makes you appreciate what we have got.”  Minna

ChatterPix

We used the app ChatterPix, to record what we have learnt about the impact different world events can have on children’s rights.

“ChatterPix is really fun because you have to explore the icons and make the pictures come to life.  It’s a fun way to share our learning.” Rosa

Badminton

This week we had our second Badminton lesson where we practiced serving to a partner.

“It was fun trying to serve to one another.  I managed it 6-7 times!”  Emily
