Carrying on with our theme of cricket skills, this week we focussed on fielding as a team, passing the ball between team player quickly and accurately and a little bit of batting. The adults were very impressed with Year 5's good sportsmanship, team support and inclusive attitude. Mr Hopegood

 Over the past few weeks, our Friday PE has focused on sending and retrieving using a racket and ball.  We have practised sending a ball safely by both throwing and using a tennis racket, sending and receiving a ball over a 'net' and learning to balance and bounce the ball.

  In DT this week, Year 3 designed and created their own Trojan Horses after learning about the Trojan War in History.  The children enjoyed linking their historical knowledge to a practical project and showed great creativity throughout. During the project, they developed important design and technology skills including measuring, sawing, cutting, shaping and glueing, while learning how to work safely and carefully with different materials. They also practised planning and designing their ideas, improving the strength and stability of structures, following step-by-step instructions and evaluating their finished products to think about what worked well and what they could improve next time.  Please see the pictures of the process so far. We will post pictures of the finished product next week! Stay tuned!
