Even though the weather wasn’t ‘playing ball’, we were! π€£
We had so much fun this afternoon playing different games and learning cricket techniques. Thank you Brian!
Today was Year 2/3 turn to bring their bikes to school...it was lots of fun having a chance to play on our bikes and scooters outside. π΄π»βοΈ π΄π»βοΈ
This morning Year 2/3 got their green fingers out as they made wildflower seed bombs. Each group had a tray of soil which they mixed with some grit, this made some very messy hands but in the words of Finn “this is so relaxing” and a lot of fun was had. The children loved mixing in the seeds and the water together then we took our trays outside to put our seed bombs out on the grass through the fence. We can’t wait to see if they grow.
What a way to start a Monday morning. This week our school are participating in the Sustran's Big Pedal. Today was our selected day to cycle/scoot to school and what a fantastic effort the nursery class have went to! 19 children either cycled or scooted to Nursery and we all had so much fun out in the 'big playground' on our bikes and scooters.
Well done everyone you all did amazing!!
PS: Even some of the grown ups brought their scooter to school too! :)
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!!! π€©π€©π€©
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 πππ
We would like to say a big big thank you to the boys and girls in Mrs Kane's class as they have been very busy looking after our school grounds. They noticed lots of weeds along the paths and got to work pulling them out. Such a difference you have all made, thank you!!
Today we got outside for some outdoor play. Firstly we started off with our story time outside. This was a real treat for us. After story time we got very busy!!
We have now got a new stone area to play with our trucks and vehicles and it is has been very popular today. The children also had lots of fun in our sand pit and they were very busy digging in the sunshine. We have 2 playhouses now and the children loved exploring how one house is big and the other one is smaller.
What a super outdoor play session today - we had lots of fun!
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 ππππ
We have done a total of 30 minutes of skipping now and it’s making us all feel FANTASTIC πππππ
One boy said today that he felt like he was better at it today than he was yesterday πππ
Others even informed me this morning that they practiced at home yesterday evening! Amazing dedication πͺ
And then as if they hadn’t skipped enough I spied them skipping again at lunch! (Check out my sneaky window pictures π΅οΈβοΈ)
Half way there! Stay tuned for all our updates.
