Anyone for Tennis?

21 Apr 2023

Class 3 and 4 enjoyed their first tennis lesson this term … and the sun shone! They practiced their ball skills – seeing how they can move when they catch a ball. They recapped catching a ball with two hands, then one hand, then throwing from one hand to the other before progressing onto controlling their ball with the tennis racket. Walking around whilst balancing the ball on the racket proved tricky for some, whilst others were challenged by gently bouncing the ball on their racket.
Well done Class 3 and 4 – you all worked really hard and developed your skills!

Class 1 Visit to Great Wood Farm

13 Mar 2023

Class 1 had a

lovely time

at Great Wood Farm this morning, looking at the sheep and new born lambs. They enjoyed watching the lambs leaping around and feeding from their mothers and felt how soft the lambs woolly coat was when they stroked them. They even had the chance to help the shepherd feed two cade lambs that were very hungry. They then made their own sheep picture using wool and straw, before a final look at the sheep and a splash in the puddles.

Thank you Great Wood Farm for a lovely visit.
