We had a game of cricket with a difference today. 4 people batting and running at the same time. The fielders had to return the balls to Jo to stop the batters running.

I gave the children a selection of electrical equipment; bulbs, wires, crocodile clips and batteries. I challenged them to light up the bulb.

Bowling Skills today. We had lots of fun trying to knock over the wickets.

During our cricket session with Ji today we learnt how to hold the bat properly. We took turns batting and fielding.

We used post it notes to explore area. Each shape has an area of 4 postitnotes.

We worked together to create Mythical Monsters. We all drew  head then folded out paper and passed it to the next person, who drew the body. We repeated this till we had done the whole monster.

We had an egg hunt in our classroom.

We all came in wonderful costumes for world book day. We had great fun making up silly stories. Mrs Tyson came in and showed us all the books we can get with our book tokens. We also designed book covers for out favourite books and made a book paper chain.

We had an amazing time playing Wheelchair Basketball. 

We learned how to play handball with Jordan from Barrow AFC.

The rule of three was quite tricky, you can only hold the ball for 3 seconds before passing it on and you can only take 3 steps whilst holding the ball.

We are excited that our rainforest jars have started to grow! If you look closely you should see some small plants and some condensation on the edge of the jars.

Today we were invited to wear a scarf to school to celebrate Children's Mental Health Week and our PSHE scheme of work. Scarf stands for: Safety Caring, Achievement, Resilience, and Friendship
