We started the term creating our own pavilion structures as part of our DT work and showcased them in our own class ‘Expos’. In maths lessons the children have really impressed with their growing confidence when working with fractions and decimals. As part of our reading, writing and history lessons, children have been researching and learning about The Ancient Greek Olympics. They have even made their own non-chronological reports with paragraphs, sub-headings, topic language and more.

Throughout the term there have also been numerous sporting events that children have been part of including bikeability, FDS football coaching and multisports. A small group of girls have been lucky enough to have the chance to take part in rugby sessions with Daisy from the Saints. Most recently, the children all took part in our Sport’s Day. It was wonderful to watch all the children participate as part of a team and push themselves to do their very best. We even had some children come very close to and even match our school top records. 

It may have been a short term but it has certainly been jam-packed! 

On Monday, they had a fun swimming session at the pool where they used floaties and played volleyball. They then enjoyed Forest School sessions, on Monday and Tuesday, where they made butter and added garlic to it before spreading it on their muffins and eating them. The children were so proud and said their creations were delicious! They also enjoyed exploring all of the other Forest School activities including the mud kitchen, obstacle course and tree swing.  

On Tuesday, the children started to make clay pots which they then painted once they were dry. Finally, they finished their action-packed week with a trip to build dens at Irchester Country Park. A lot of fun was had by all and it was so lovely to see such big smiles on all the children’s faces.
