Tim Peake class have had a busy week.
In music we have been learning to play xylophones under Mrs Seaward’s expert teaching. In art we have made clay sculptures following our studies of Andy Goldworthy.
In guided reading we finished reading Stone Age boy which enabled us to retrieve our historical knowledge from the Autumn term. This week we put our reading skills to good use when we were given a playscript of Hansel and Gretel to perform to our peers.
We have made great progress in our weekly swimming lessons at the Waterside Pool in Ryde. All the children can now confidently enter the water and swim with the aid of pool noodles and floats. Our favourite part is at the end when we can jump into the pool.
