Animal Art 🎨
Today we made the most of the wonderful sunshine and took our learning outside. Our topic this term is ‘Animals’ so we used natural materials to create some animal art. Can you spot which animals we are making in the photographs?
Rugby inspires us in drama
Today in drama we took inspiration from the rugby world cup and our p.e lessons to create freeze frame of the players, referees and fans at the matches. We discussed the importance of working at different levels and really thinking about all of our bodies, including where we were looking.

Forest School Fun…
Last Thursday we had our first Forest School session. We played sticky elbows, discovered base camp, had a game of hide and seek and explored the Forest School site. We learned some of the rules for Forest School too – we can climb trees as high as the leaders shoulders; we are not to pick anything that is growing; we found out the correct way to carry small and large sticks; we must try to keep our hands away from our faces and especially our mouths! We also had a great deal of FUN! Check out our slide show and look out for more photographs of us during the year.
Russian Club 🇷🇺
Russian club is held in the peregrines classroom on a Monday – here is a quick blog post so that you can see what we got up to.

🇷🇺 See you next week Russian club. 🇷🇺
