It was the last of our activities! Who will win? Your guess is as good as ours! We took part in more team games: over and under, side to side, elbow passing and speed bouncing. There wasn't a particular team who won all of the games so this means it must be tight between the winners! We can't wait to find out which team takes the Number 1 spot! Fingers crossed it's your team...

On Friday, year 4 took part in a DT day inspired by the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. The children had to create a healthy snack bar that would be part of a buffet at the Olympic games opening ceremony party. The children started the day by tasting existing snack bars. Later they created a design brief and then began to design their own healthy snack bar.
