Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Wall
The children have been learning about different Nursery Rhymes. Last week the children learnt about the Nursery Rhyme; Humpty Dumpty.
The children have worked out how to build a strong wall by looking at the patterns in brick walls around school and then had a go at using that pattern to build their own strong wall.

Learning about Parliament
This afternon Year 5 and 6 participated in a workshop all about parliament. We learnt about the Houses of Parliament and the House of Lords and how they debated on laws. We learnt that when a law is made the bill is passed from one house to the other until they agree on it. This is called parliament ping-pong. We conducted a debate on whether children should be made to walk to school at least one day every week. The speaker (Rohan) was allowed to choose people to put forward their opinion. Once all the suggestions had been put forward, we cast our vote. There were 17 ayes to the right and 20 no’s to the left.

Gymnastics – Pike and straddle
Our gymnastics lesson today was all about pike and straddle positions. We needed to work on having straight backs and legs. Cesare and Luis choreographed a brilliant routine with several pike and straddle poses. They also thought carefully about their transitions between each move.

Space Pictures
In Year 1 we have been learning about space and what it looks like. We created some pictures for our new role play area. We looked at an image and picked out the colours that we wanted to use and then we mixed them together to create a background. Once we had done this we then created our own space rockets using different shapes and working on our scissor skills. The children were able to name the shapes they had used to create their rocket.
