Sporting fun

The year ones went and visited the high school today for a picnic and a fun packed afternoon of sports.

They played games with the parachute and had fun doing different running games.

They had to get under and over different obstacles, which they found great fun.

They found the double sack race particularly challenging!

They enjoyed the obstacle relay . 

Football activities were a great hit

The children came back to school tired but wanted to tell us of how much fun they had! 

Mud, mud glorious mud

The children had great fun today using the mud kitchen. They used containers and spoons to mix water with the dry mud to make it runny. Then they made chocolate soup, cake and tea.  

Tidalik's friends

Children looked at the Australian dream story of Tiddalik the greedy frog. They then used boxes and other junk modelling materials to create the different animals that appeared in the story.  They also had to create passports for the animals describing what they looked like and how they moved.

Kandinsky

The children spent the first three weeks of term looking at the artist Kandinsky. They explored his work and described what they could see in his pictures. 

They also made up there own stories about what could happen if they jumped inside one of his paintings.  They had some marvellous ideas.  

They then had a go and creating their own pictures in the Kandinsky style.  They used a range of different mediums and materials to create a wide range of pictures.

 

Musical assembly

The children were very lucky this have term to have a visit from a group called earth song. They played lots of different instruments and got the children to join in.  The children had great fun. 

A day out at the zoo

At the end of last term he children went to the zoo. They had great fun exploring the different animals

An owl nest

As part of the children's work on the owl babies they made an owls nest.  They collected leaves sticks and twigs from around the school and then made some eggs to go inside.
