We have been learning about different ways to slide in gym. We can slide on our backs, tummies, shoulders, knees, bottoms, sides and our feet.

Sliding is moving from one place to another without lifting a certain part of your body.

We also learned different ways to jump. We had fun showing different jumping.

We have started to bring out some equipment to use for our gymnastics. We used benches this week.

We warmed up with a new game called banana tig! It was fun!

Today we made fruit kebabs.  The fruits we used were grapes, strawberries, pineapple, melon and bananas.

Before we made them we learned what to do before you cook.  Jennie remembers that before you cook you must wash your hands and put an apron on.

We put the fruit on the wooden sticks.  We tried to use lots of different kinds of fruit so they were nice and colourful.

We tasted the kebabs after playtime.  Here are some of our comments:

Niamh – The kebabs were juicy.

Caiden – The kebabs were nice.

Rhys – I thought the kebab was juicy.

Jack – They were very juicy.

Amy – They were sweet

Today we tasted oranges, bananas, mango, pineapple and kiwi.  To find out where they came from we looked at the tags on the fruit then we lookad at a world map to see where each country is.  Oranges came from Spain.  The mangoes, bananas and the pineapple came from South America.  The kiwis came from New Zealand.  The fruits get to our country on an aeroplane.

We enjoyed eating the fruits.  Here are some of the words we used to describe how they tasted:soft, sweet, nice, juicy, lovely.

We had lots of clean bowls today and no fruit left over!
