Athletics day

We had a great morning at athletics, until the rain came and it had to be called off.!

Fortunately, we managed to get through all of our track events and a few of the field events.


The children all participated well, tried their best and ran fast :)

A big congratulations to those that got placings in the finals and received a certificate at assembly.

PMP

Throughout the term we have been participating in PMP activities.

PMP (Perciptual Motor Programme) is a comprehensive movement program, which works to develop childrens physical motor skills which provide the foundations necessary for success.

The children always enjoy PMP and leave with an extra bounce in their step. Here are some photos of some of the things we have been doing:

Our Easter maths challenge

Recently, we linked our interest in Easter with our maths learning.

The children were given a challenge:

To begin with we worked on creating and recognizing a repeated pattern, this was done over several days and using different materials; then we looked at the number problem.

The children had to think about:

* how many big eggs they needed
*how many small eggs they needed
*how many altogether
*I also asked them how they worked it out

Everyone worked super hard to produce a basket of patterned eggs for the Easter bunny, concentrating and counting to make sure they had the right numbers.

The baskets are all up in our room on display and I am sure the Easter bunny would have been impressed!
