This term as part of our P.E lessons, we are learning about Hockey. Today we learned the correct way to hold a hockey stick and played some games to practise our stick handling skills. One of our favourites was called ‘Squeeze Ball’, where we had to work with a partner to ‘squeeze’ the ball between our sticks and lift if off the ground to waist height – we soon discovered that it wasn’t as easy as it sounded!!
Here are some pictures of us at work:
We have started our topic about Mary Queen of Scots. To give us some insight into what life was like when she was alive, we have been finding out about clothes, housing and transport in the 16th Century.
We did a Critical Skills Challenge in groups to build a 3D model of a Peasant’s house from the 16th Century. We had to combine what we had been learning in our topic with the technology skills we had been learning about – strengthening techniques in model-making.
Here are our finished models:
