Glow in the dark ball skills!
We had so much fun with our PE coaches this morning! We learnt lots of new ball skills like bouncing balls and throwing balls! We worked in teams to use our ball skills to collect the pirate treasure and then counted up the treasure to see which team had won! Once we knew how to play the game, we turned off the lights and played it while we glowed! It was so much fun!
Developing our fielding techniques!
In our rounders lesson, we have worked on developing our fielding techniques. We first practiced scooping up the ball two hands and then throwing it overarm back to the bowler. We then practiced some ball skills and worked on our catching. We noticed it was really important to keep an eye on the ball and watch it at all times. We then practiced the short barrier which helps us when fielding. We had to turn our foot sideways behind our hands to provide an extra protection so if we not grab it with our hands our foot will stop it. We then applied this in a mini game of rounders.
KS1 Final Product
Today our final product for our Spring Term expedition was delivered to the local scout hut. We enjoyed going over to have a look and see it in situ.
Telling the time to five minutes and minute
Crew Thompson have been working super hard in maths to tell the time to five minutes and one minute. We have used the clocks to show the time!
Glow in the dark dodgeball

Fab Henri Matisse artwork
I have been really impressed with our Henri Matisse artwork because it has been tricky with it being smaller pieces and designs to create. Well done Crew Marsh!
Demonstration comprehension in MI
Our entry ticket allowed us to work on our inference skills where we used a picture to answer questions. We really thought about the reasons for our answers and used the picture well to support us. We then read the next part of the text using a chorus read, independent read then a read around the robin. We tried to apply the skills we had been using all week- using the punctuation when reading along with expression. We explored the text as we read unpicking some of the vocabulary together. Next we moved onto our demonstration comprehension questions where Mrs McClare modelled her thought process in order to answer the questions. We were all so eager to voice the answers to the questions and used the text well to find the answers. We thought about the questions were asking us, comparing what, why and when questions. We had so many great answers and the excitement in our lesson today was fantastic. It was clear we had a good understanding of the text which was fantastic. Our exit ticket allowed us to think about the characters feelings where we wrote thought/speech bubbles for them. We then explained our answers explaining why we thought this.

Sport for champion visit!
Due to loving our athlete visit last year and the year before ….
I am excited to announce that we have an athlete visiting school Monday 1st July 2024.
Children should come home with a sponsor form tomorrow (Friday 17th May), sponsor forms are due in Wednesday 19th June 2024.
Sponsor forms should be handed in to class teachers or the office.
This is a great opportunity for the children to meet a GB/ olympic athlete and raise money for school at the same time, as soon as we know who the school athlete is I will share the news.
In excitement of this, we are going to do a dress down in your sporty gear on Friday 24th May with a voluntary contribution of £1.
