Today we all went down to assembly with Mrs Harper.  Sandra presented all the 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners with their stickers and some boys and girls got a special effort sticker for showing perseverance during races.

Well done everyone! Wear those stickers with pride.

The boys and girls absolutely loved our visit from Stephanie from Time Steps.  The session was very interactive and engaging.  She even wanted to trade one of our year 5 girls for a calf! Tempting, but I declined the offer πŸ˜…

We would highly recommend Time Steps and will definitely be using them for future topics.  It really brought our current topic to life for the boys and girls. 

The pictures provide a glimpse of just how much fun we had - so many giggles too!

Last week we finished off our length topic by finding the area and perimeter of some delicious, well know biscuits.  The children all worked so well with their study buddies during this activity.   Might have something to do with being allowed to eat the biscuits at the end 🀣

We have been learning about measurement in Y5/6.  Yesterday we worked with our study buddies to test if a persons height is 3 times the distance around their head.  This was not the case for our class.

Today we went outside and measured the distance of our jumps.  Apparently how far you can jump depends on your height.  A lot of us recorded our jump to be the exact same length as our height!

Some of us almost jumped 2 metres!

Even though the weather wasn’t ‘playing ball’, we were! 🀣

We had so much fun this afternoon playing different games and learning cricket techniques.  Thank you Brian!

On Friday we completed our one hour skipping challenge!!!! Some of the boys and girls wanted to keep skipping! We brought out the large skipping rope and had lots of fun with that whilst also keeping up our individual skipping.

What better way to celebrate finishing out challenges than with a bag of skips!!! 🀩🀩🀩

I am so proud of all the boys and girls for really pushing themselves.  We all really enjoyed it and it made us feel super good 😁😁😁

We have now skipped for 45 minutes! I am so proud of all the boys and girls and how much dedication and effort they are putting into our wee challenge!

At the start of this challenge some of the boys were very apprehensive and now I have them telling me how much they love skipping! 

It helps that we are getting beautiful weather to complete all our skipping 🌞🌞🌞🌞
