In PE we have been learning about balancing as a way of improving our fitness. We really enjoyed playing a game called Electrify, where we had to pass a hoop over our team along a skipping rope without it touching.

This week we have created poems about the rainforest. We have used our knowledge from our Geography topic and from reading the story ‘The Great Kapok Tree’ to help us with our ideas.

We have been working as authors to create our own story books based on The Great Kapok Tree. We have been so proud of them, that they now have a place in our class book corner.

We have written our own stories based on ‘The Great Kapok tree’ by Lynne Cherry.

When publishing our books we have created water colour pages of all the wonderful plants and animals that can be found in rainforests. Our finished stories will be in our class library.

We’ve had a lovely afternoon preparing our Christingles ready for our service in church tomorrow.

We finished our busy assessment week with a relaxing yoga session. Well done everyone you have shown such perseverance!
