We have had an amazing time learning about the Rio Olympics. We have had a drumming workshop, we learned a carnival dance and took part in a brilliant assault course. Here are a few photos of us having fun!

We are poets...and we do know it!

In English we have been looking at poetry and performing our own poems. We enjoyed acting out our poems using the success criteria of pace, volume, body position, actions expression and sound effects.

Stone Age Pinch Pots

We worked carefully to create our own clay Stone Age pots. We used the pinching method with the clay and painted them in typical Stone Age colours.
