In P.E the children have started to develop their rolling skills in preparation for going bowling. The children practised rolling a variety of balls to different targets. In our other P.E session the children were doing multi-skill games. They played Spiderman tig and mat ball, the children loved competing against each other. 

In R.E the children have started to learn about Easter. The children looked at the importance of Palm Sunday and we role played what happened. The children enjoyed shouting hosanna! 

In D.T the children investigated moving pictures, they looked at level mechanisms, hinges and a wheel. The children are going to produce their own moving picture in later weeks. 

In PSHCE the children have started to look at being healthy. What does healthy mean and how to keep healthy?
