Nursery have been diving under the sea this week as the read the story "Billy's Bucket". This is a fabulous story about a little boy who can see all sorts of sea creatures in his bucket. The children have been thinking about what they would see in their bucket if they had a magical bucket, developing their fine motor muscles by catching fish and threading jelly fsh tentacles and creating their own buckets and sea creatures. We've had a super time under the sea!

Yesterday, Year Two went outside and enjoyed a carousel of activities which helped us to practice our fundamental skills. We split into small groups and completed most of the activities in short bursts these included: skipping, throwing and catching, throwing with accuracy into a hoop, balance on the trim trail, dribbling a ball using our hands whilst moving as well as racket skills. We enjoyed all the activities and look forward to continuing practising our skills over the coming weeks.

Today we had our first Forest School session of the year. It was a veyr hot day so we made the most of the tarpualins and made plenty of shelters to keep out of the sun. Whilst we were down there, some of us made jewellery using elder branches, some of us finger knitted and some of us explored the pond and surrounding area, where we saw lots of tadpoles and even a couple of frogs. We are looking forward to our next session.

This week we have started gymnastics in our P.E sessions, and looked at balances. We identified patches and point on our body that we can spin and balance on. The children created sequences looking at changing our heights and varying our spins.

Today we began our new PE unit of handball with Alan Williams, our local sports coach. With the weather being extrememly hot, we definitely worked up a sweat!! We practised our throwing and catching skills using the official balls, which are smaller than we are used to. Over the session, we became more accurate and powerful with our throws. By the end, we were able to hold small 3 v 3 games to practise and demonstrate our catching, throwing and dodging skills. We can't wait for our next session!

Nursery have been exploring farms this week and we have had so much fun! We've sheered sheep, made pigs, cows and chickens, counted farm animals and made milkshakes. The children have been developing their finger muscles by using tweezers to put wool on sheep and building pens for the animals out of playdough.

We completed lots of different activities including: races, speed bounce, welly throw, bean bag challenge, under and over team races, stuck in the mud, speed stack and a rest station where we refuelled with water and had a much needed sit down.

Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell left us a gift of some slime! The chilldren had a great time exploring the slime and it initiated some wonderful converstaions with the children. They used some great words to describe the slime such as "stretchy, sticky, boingy and bouncy". They were fascinated watching the slime stretch and talked about how long their slime was and whose was longer. The slime also provided a super work out for the childrens fingers with all the pulling, stretching, poking a rolling.
Year 6 - Counter Balances and Counter Tension
Date: 3rd May 2023 @ 2:41pm
In this week's PE lesson, we continued with our gymnastics unit. We focussed specifically on counter balances and counter tension. Working with a partner, we learned that counter balances use a pushing force to create a stable balance. Counter tension uses a pulling force to create stability. We created various holds and learned how to safely support our partner.

This week we explored how to travel with a ball at our feet with confidence. We began by dribbling the balls around a given area, touching with our big toe and then touching with our little toe. We had lots of chance to practise this and then moved onto manipulating the ball in different directions. We also leant how to stop a ball with our foot and kick accurately to a partner, before playing some dribbling games.

This half term in Year Two we have been dancing. We have created our own dance to Matilda's Revolting Children as our class author is Roald Dahl. During the weeks we have really been focusing on dancing to the music using our emotion thinking about the lyrics and how the children would be behaving. Whilst improvising we had to think about the different levels of the dance and ensuring we were in time.
