This term in Construction Club, the children have thoroughly enjoyed letting their imaginations run wild in order to build and create different creations using the construction materials. As you can see Lego has been a firm favourite. The children really enjoyed sharing their ideas, verbally discussing what they had chosen to create as well as explaining to peers and supporting adults all about the different constructed elements. Well done to all who attended.

This afternoon Barn Owls and Snowy Owls enjoyed a shared PE session. The children worked in House Teams and participated in a variety of Action Stations. First the teams enjoyed a game of football then moved on to a netball game before working within their teams to build and navigate through an obstacle course station before finally moving on to the skipping and hula hoop station. Mrs Court and Mrs Drew-Hill were amazed by the children's team work skills, kindness, consideration as well as their endless perseverance to develop or perfect a new physical skill. Well done to all in Key Stage 2!
