Enjoy! ☃️🎉😍

In art P2/3 have been learning about shape and combining materials to create these winter robins. We first looked at shape and how we combine them to create an image of a robin and add a background.
We then learned to control chalks to colour the background and used crayons to colour the robin before adding some glitter.
We all found out that pens do not work very well on top of chalk!!

We made some changes to our PE setup to keep things fresh and fun for everyone. Here’s what’s new:

- Springboard at the Bar Box – Great for practicing vaults and take-offs.
- Trampette – For safe, controlled jumps and landings.
- Double Bar – Ideal for upper body strength and coordination.
- High Ladder – Encourages climbing skills and confidence.

- New Heights: One box was set higher, and another had a lower bench leading up to it, adding variety and challenge.
- Ropes Added: The ropes were introduced this week and were a huge hit with the pupils!
- Directional Changes: We included a mix of benches, beams, and tables with changes of direction to keep things interesting and engaging.
PE Week 3 Gymnastics Equipment
Wear A Poppy
In our last music lesson the class learned a song for Remembrance Day called ‘Wear A Poppy’. Below is a video of the children performing the song with different actions for each verse. What a great achievement for one lesson!
Fireworks, Fireworks, Bonfire Night
We recently learned a song all about fireworks and Bonfire Night. After we had learned the words and the melody, we also learned how to follow a graphic score. This showed us pictures of percussion instruments to play and when to play them. We worked in small groups to play our instruments and then we had the chance to move round different music stations. In the video you can hear us singing the song and playing four different pieces of percussion – boomwhackers, tambourines, maracas and claves.
PE Week 2 Gymnastics
Rolls, Handstands and Cartwheels
Term 2 PE – Gymnastics
This term, all pupils will be taking part in gymnastics, starting with mat skills and progressing to apparatus work. Gymnastics is a fantastic way for children to develop confidence, coordination, and strength while working at their own level.
Mat Skills Focus:
- Balances
- Jumps
- Rolls
- Handstands
- Cartwheels
Apparatus Focus:
- Pupils will explore different equipment setups
- They’ll be encouraged to create their own ways of moving from one side to the other
This approach supports creativity, problem-solving, and physical literacy.
Everybody loves this term in the gym, so I’m sure their will be plenty to talk about when they get home.
PE Reminder
Please ensure pupils:
- Come dressed appropriately on PE days
- Have appropriate footwear. Now that the weather is changing, footwear can be changed before PE.
- Have hair tied up
- Remove jewellery and watches before the session
