Parachute PE

We had lots of fun in PE on Friday using the parachute as part of our Superhero themed lesson. We travelled in different ways as superheroes, freezing when Mrs Freeze the villain said, “FREEZE”. We imagined that the colours of the parachute were our superhero capes, jogging carefully around in the same direction as each other and then under the parachute when we heard the colour of our cape. We really had to work hard as a team to lift the parachute. Well done everyone!

Parents phonics workshop

 

Thanks to all those parents who attended the phonics workshop yesterday, I hope you found it useful to see how our phonics teaching is delivered. We know the importance of how it underpins reading skills and that working together with parents helps children thrive. Those who were unable to attend please find the presentations and information linked at on our class page. All children were sent home with a home support pack yesterday.
