Multicultural Playground Games

Each class enjoyed a fun session with Mr Massey this morning, learning various playground games from around the world. Our class learnt a game from Poland, one from India and also tried our hand at French skipping. We found out that French skipping actually originates from China. I am sure the children will enjoy playing these games much more during playtimes in the future. 

 

 

Diwali

We have been continuing our work on Diwali and made diva lamps from clay. This had great links to our recent science work on materials as we had to do lots of squashing, rolling and sculpting with the clay. The children are looking forward to painting them soon.

Old Toys

This morning we welcomed some special visitors into our class who brought with them some very special toys. 

Parents and Grandparents came to show us toys which they used to play with when they were a child. 

We had a fantastic range including a Spirograph, Cindy dolls, teddies, cars, a jumping spider, a toy record player, books and much more! 

Thank you to those who could come in to see us, we had a lovely morning and we learned so much. 

Multi-Skills PE

This afternoon we visited Diss High School to join other schools for multi-skills PE games. 

The event was organised by the young Sports leaders who are studying their BTech qualifications at Diss. 

We were challenged to use all kinds of skills including throwing, balancing, weaving, jumping, crawling and much more. 

Bending, stretching, twisting and squashing!

The children enjoyed investigating how objects can or in some cases cannot be changed by bending, twisting, squashing and stretching!

Design Technology

This week we started our new Design and Technology project to design a moving model vehicle. 

Our topic this term is 'It's a toys story', so we started by looking at toy cars, lorries, buses, and much more. 

We recorded what the toys were made of and how they moved. To discover how to make a toy move, we made our own moving vehicle using construction kits.
