WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN YEAR 1-2:
PE
As part of our 'Real PE' scheme, Year 1 and 2 took part in a 'Real Gym' session. The children enjoyed moving at different speeds and in all directions as part of a 'washing machine' warm up! Next, they learned new balancing skills, which became more challenging as the session progressed. To apply their skills, the children then played 'Mirror Mirror' with a partner, copying one another's shapes.
SCIENCE
Learning about animals...
