Children in Year 2 and 3 were really excited to be chosen by our Sports Council Ambassadors to be involved in their lunchtime sports club. They enjoyed a range of games aimed at improving their balance and co-ordination.
Money/Arian
This Week Year One have been working in maths on their coin recognition and using this learning to pay for items.
Hula hoop story telling with Peter
We have had a fantastic afternoon with Peter story telling. We pretended that we went to Alaska, the North Pole, a desert, a volcano and space and thought about what we might pack in our bag. We thought about how we could use a prop such as rope, boots, a hat, tape, binoculars etc. to solve a problem that we might face on the way.
Healthy Snacks
Our healthy schools council have been busy handing out stickers to children who have been eating a healthy snack on Monday and Friday playtimes! Well done to our healthy eaters!
Jiving with Emily George!
We have been Learning to Jive with Emily George. We listened carefully to Glen Miller’s ‘In the Mood’ and we created our own ‘Jive’ moves to accompany it.
Evacuation Rap
In groups, we have been learning the ‘Evacuation Rap’.
I wanna tell you a story about evacuation
I found myself at Knighton station.
Dressed in my best with my coat and tag
And a few little essentials in my bag.
We arrived at the station hungry and tired
My head was buzzing I felt I was wired
We all lined up and went down the lane
And that’s when my heart began to cry in pain,
I didn’t want to go and leave my mum,
I wish that this war could soon be won
A new home and family lay ahead
And here is the day that I now dread.
Would they treat me nice
Would they be so kind
Will it be tidy
Guess I really don’t mind
Story telling with Peter
We had a great time with Peter on Thursday learning all about story telling! We created our own stories based off ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ and ‘Loopy Luna and the Hula Hoop’.

As part of Jigsaw this week the children were discussing jobs and professions and ranked them in order of what they thought were the most important.
We also discussed salaries and played a game of guess the profession charades.
