Year 6 had a fantastic afternoon practising their cross-country running.   Felisha- "It was really fun beating your friends but I got really sweaty: it was great to show how fast I was." Z- "It was fun but tiring because the course was really long." Poppy- "It was tricky when we had to swerve thought the garden and when we went down the slope we had to really slow down." Kaydie- "It was really fun but really tiring, doing the extra distance, we had to pace ourselves."

This week in Year 4, we’ve been putting our place value and addition/subtraction skills to the test in a fun and challenging way. Using dice, we rolled random numbers and then had to decide where to place each number into a column to help us get as close as possible to a given target number. It was a brilliant mix of strategy, mental maths and a bit of luck!

This term, Pebbles are finding out all about the seaside. This week we thought about things we might take to the beach with us including sun cream, a sun hat, a towel and toys. We then wrote lists to help us remember everything. We have also had fun playing with the toy sea animals.
