Art Club used homemade clay tiles to display their heart designs, using various mark making tools and adding slip to make sure the hearts stay firmly in place while they are in the kiln🔥❤
This week’s Curriculum Focus is PE/Games!
Year 4 started things off and had a fantastic tennis session, starting by reminding themselves how to hold the racket correctly. They then worked on ball‑control skills, balancing the ball on the racket and keeping it steady while moving at different speeds.
Next came tap-ups and tap-downs, building control and coordination, before moving on to some lively throw tennis. The children finished by working in pairs—one throwing and one striking—putting all their skills into action.
They ended the lesson with a very competitive and thoroughly enjoyable game of Lives. Brilliant energy and brilliant progress from everyone! 🌟🎾

Spring is certainly in full swing for our curious Reception learners!🌱💛
