Class 5 and Class 6 took part in a fun PE lesson today about hockey. We learned how to stop a ball and how to perform a push pass. We’re looking forward to building our skills over the coming weeks to use in a game situation. 

We are really enjoying exploring movement to music in our PE lessons this term. We are learning some key skills to combine into our dance routine. It’s great fun!

As part of our work on area, we carried out some practical activities. We used different sized squares to measure the area of parts of the class, found the area of each of the letters in our name and made patterns using different coloured cubes with different areas.

On Friday, we looked at the impact of human actions upon our world and some ways we can help prevent further damage. We watched some videos and matched information regarding plants and animals with facts about them and how human actions affect them. There was lots of discussion about the issues.

Today Class 5 and Class 6 took part in Earth Hour. We learned about the impacts of climate change and the simple everyday changes we can make to help cut greenhouse gas emissions. We played a game to help us think about ways to save electricity and we also made model houses that were covered in key climate change messages.
