Year 5 children are PE Teachers!
This week the children in Year 5 have became PE teachers. On Monday the children in Year 5 got themselves into teams. In their teams they had to create a lesson plan as an aid to help them teach a PE lesson to Year 1 and Year 2 children. The lesson had to involve ball skills. This had to be based on the skills the children have been learning in PE. This could of included; throwing, catching, aiming, target hitting and running. They had to include: warm up and stretches, skill elements, mini-games and a game/match with a cool down at the end. The teams worked together planning their lesson together. They had to think about; teams, equipment, health and saftey and other elements to their lesson. On Tuesday Year 5 taught Year 2 and on Wednesday Year 5 taught Year 1. The Year 5 children showed lots of Carleton Code stamps which included being nuturing, trustworthy, energetic, responsible and being reliable. Well done Year 5 you should be very proud of your-selves. Year 1 and Year 2 children listened well, followed instructions and developed their ball skills! An excellent week of PE shown by all the children!

The Ducklings enjoyed a lovely morning having a Teddy Bears’ Picnic, to bring our topic of bears to a close. Despite the rain and it having to be an indoor picnic, we had lots of fun singing, dancing and of course eating! We enjoyed eating the sandwiches and cakes we had made in preparation for our picnic. Do you like our teddy bear ears and head dresses we made?
EYFS and KS1 solve jigsaw puzzles
As part of Thomas Deane Day some of the children in EYFS and KS1 solved jigsaw puzzles. The children looked at the picture to begin with to know what the jigsaw had to look like. They then sorted the jigsaw pieces into two groups; with edges and without edges. The children worked together to solve the problem. The children were delighted when they completed their jigsaws-well done!!

Scooter fun for Robins
As part of Healthy Living Week the children had ’Scooter Day’. The children were very excitied to ride their scooters at break time and to learn new skills and tricks during the scooter lesson.
What healthy breakfast would you choose?
The children in Robins collected data from the teachers to find out what healthy breakfast they would choose to eat. The children created a variety of healthy breakfast options in groups. These included; yogurt with berries and a glass of fresh orange juice, baked beans on seeded brown toast with apple juice and corn flakes with semi-skimmed milk, a banana and a gladd of water. The children then put their options into a tally chart and went to collect the information from the teachers. When the children had collected their information they then answered questions about what they had found out. Which is the most popular healthy choice? Which option was the least healthy?
Healthy Fruit Kebabs
As part of Healthy Living Week the Ducklings made healthy fruit kebabs for snack time. They had to use their fine motor skills for helping to cut the fruit and their mathematical skills to make a repeating pattern with the fruit! They were very tasty indeed, especially after a morning of scootering!
