A great week

Some of the highlights from last week to report on:

On Thursday the rain held off and we were able to have our first complete PE lesson of the term outside! The children did really well as we had a go at some cricket skills including batting and bowling. Next week we will be recapping these skills, looking at fielding techniques and putting everything into practice in a game situation. I'll try and remember to take the camera out to take some pics....

We also did some wonderful literacy work. We had been learning about myths and had enjoyed the story of Pandora's box. We then used this as stimulus for some great writing. Firstly we imagined we were Pandora and wrote great descriptions of what we imagined the box was like, why we decided to open it and how we felt as we did so. Later in the week we wrote abstract noun poetry about some of the ideas that emerged from Pandora's box (cruelty, pain, hope) and about similar/ contrasting ideas such as anger, love, happiness etc. We considered our senses and emotions to describe what ideas the abstract noun evoked to us eg. anger is red, anger tastes burnt and bitter, anger lives in the heart of a volcano. The resulting poetry was powerful and thoughtful.... Again I hope to take some photos/ type up some of our poems for you to read on here.

On Wednesday afternoon the children produced some super information posters about the Ancient Greeks foccusing on their houses, food and drink, clothing and entertainment. Mrs Keeble was very pleased with the quality of work produced.

Next week will be bikeability for the Year 5s (Tues & Weds)
