We started the week with an exciting visit from Leanne and Janine at the Rainbow Ward. The children found out about the different staff at the Rainbow ward and how they help people. They kindly brought some of the equipment they use for the children to explore and were very grateful for all the money we have raised to help revamp their soft play area.

This week in Drawing Club we read ‘Giraffe’s can’t dance’ by Giles Andreae. We designed outfits for Gerald and a way for him to travel, in style, to the Jungle dance party. In Maths, we have been exploring maps. We looked at examples of real maps and maps in stories before representing maps in different ways and creating our own maps for familiar places. 

In PE the children impressed Mr Carr with their throwing and catching skills both stationary and on the move using a variety of different equipment.

The children also impressed me with their animal facts homework and everybody drew an African animal and wrote a fact about it.

We ended the week by enjoying watching the KS2 production of Peter Pan – we were very impressed!

Have a lovely weekend.
