PE: Team games- 17/01/2020
In PE we have been playing lots of team games. Today we really enjoyed playing the 'scarecrow' game where we had to work together as a team to dress a member of our team, in lots of PE equipment as fast as we could in order to be the winners. The 'scarecrow' had to try and balance all the equipment until everybody had a turn. We loved this game and are very excited to play it again.

Passports to Africa! 13/01/2020

PSHE: Making Elmer Mobiles- 09/01/2020
As part of our PSHE unit of work, we looked at the story of Elmer. As a class we discussed how Elmer is different to all the other elephants, but she is still an elephant. We then thought about how we are all different to each other and how it is good to be different. To represent our learning we made our own Elmer mobiles, with the challenge of creating our own patchwork pattern using lots of different colours. Our mobiles are very special and have pride of place hanging in our classroom.
