Hockey

This week we started our new outdoor PE hockey block.  We learnt how to hold te hockey stick, dribble and stop the ball.

“Hockey was quite challenging because you are trying not to hit people with your stick.” Arrietty

History of Art – Vincent van Gough

This week we have been learning about Vincent van Gogh.  We created our own self-portraits using oil pastels in the style of Vincent van Gogh.  We used a range of colours to mix strokes of colours to reflect our skin and hair colour.

“It was fun when we were making our self-portraits.  I’m proud of my finished picture.”  Jacob

Internet Safety

For the last week week we have been learning about internet safety.  We can now identify what personal information is and what we shouldn’t share online.   We know how to make safe passwords and what do do if anybody says or does something online that makes us feel uncomfortable.

PE – Scottish Country Dancing

Over the last week we have learnt the ‘Gay Gordons’ and the ‘Canadian Barn Dance.’  We have had fun trying to recall the steps in time to the music.  We have been able to give feedback to one another based on step patterns and timing we have performed with our partners.
