KS2 Girls Football Tournament

A fabulous afternoon for our KS2 Girls football team playing in the sunshine.

Congratulations on coming 3rd in the tournament. Their brilliant teamwork, determination and great sportsmanship made us all proud.

Yoga in MT

Because the weather is so warm, we completed our PE lesson inside today where we took part in some yoga! We loved this! 🙂

Symmetrical patterns in MT

Today we used our knowledge from yesterday on lines of symmetry to complete a range of symmetrical patterns. We did find this challenging, however we showed great resilience and supported each other throughout our lesson. We will continue to practise this skill tomorrow.

Be Kind Treat

In Crew Haddock we have been working on be kind howl and we have to be kind to our crew and others from when we come to school right up to end of break. 4 of our children hit the target today and got to spin the wheel. The children in our crew got to choose what they would like on the wheel . They also get an extra treat if they can hit the be kind 3 times out of 5 in a week. Here is what they won. Well done Crew Haddock.
