Art and Design club Yr 3/4/5/6

In Art and Design club the children drew around their own hands and feet to create this 'optical illusion' of a 3 dimensional person. The body looks further away and their hands and feet look close up as they are bigger. 

Currently we are working on drawing faces step-by-step so that the features are in proportion and symmetrical!

Gardening Club feeds the birds!

This week, in Gardening Club, we have been feeding the birds with school-made bird feeders. The children poked wooden spoons through the bottles at angles, letting the food to dribble down and gives the birds something to stand on.

The children were worried about the seagulls getting a tasty treat instead of the garden birds we are trying to attract. As a result, we have made the holes very small so only a small beak will be able to gain some of the seedy goodness!

If the design doesn't work, we will go back to the drawing board and change the design of our bird feeders!

Have a look around the field and playground; how many feeders can you spot? Can you see any birds feeding from them?  Remember children: look and observe but be careful not to touch them as they are quite a delicate model!

Boxing club

This week in boxing club the children were allowed just one minute at each of the activities before it was time to move on to the next. The activities included: press ups, line jumps, burpies, step ups, mountain climbs, squats and tricep dips! All of them just as important as one another as the children strove to improve their fitness levels to then be able to spar using the 'mitts' and 'punch bags'. Resilience was the name of the game this week to enable everyone to keep up with this level of fitness.

Fun Fitness club

Wow! The energy levels were obvious in this mornings fun fitness club as they moved around a circuit which included various equipment and apparatus. The children spent a few minutes at each area before moving onto the next ensuring that they worked all parts of their bodies. 

Loom bands Yr 3/4/5/6

Making cherry's was the challenge this afternoon for the loom bands club. It was important to listen to the instructions carefully. Firstly, each club member had to collect a loom, one green and eleven red loom bands. As you can see the club was hive of activity and the cherries will hopefully be completed in next weeks club as it was quite a task! Giulia remarked "I think it's challenging using the loom, I feel it's easier to use your hands and fingers."

After school club - Dance

In dance club the children are certainly having lots of fun learning a new style of dance and are enjoying the new moves! They worked well as a team as well as splitting in to groups for parts of the dance and then coming back together for other parts. They are learning to change direction with different groups working opposite each other.

KS1 Choir

The junior choir were in fine voice this afternoon as they warmed up their voices with a familiar song of 'Alice the camel' including all of the actions. Following this they learnt a new song 'come dance with me' which everyone enjoyed. They had previously practised 'one and a million' which again included actions, Mrs King commented on how impressed she was at how the whole choir remembered their moves!
