On Monday, we were very fortunate enough to have Mr Whiteman and Year Five treat us to a brass performance! Mr Whiteman also showed us different instruments in the brass family and gave us a demonstration on the cornet, trumpet, trombone and tuba. Year Five sounds fantastic and it inspired us to make our own music with percussion instruments in the afternoon!
When we read Owl Babies in class, we learned about 3 young owls who were very worried when their mum went hunting in the night. In the woods, Snowdrops learned about the food chain that owls are part of. We played a hunting game, collecting our prey that was hidden in the woods. It was quite tricky as we tried to be as silent as a hunting owl would be. We used clay and pine cones to make our own little owls using natural materials and some of us made clay owl faces hiding in the trees. We were so busy that we nearly forgot our hot chocolate!
On a Thursday, the Sports Coach has been teaching us gym acro. This week we had lots of fun learning how to safely complete a forwards and backwards roll, and in previous weeks, we have been practicing the pike, tuck and straddle shapes along with using a straight and star jump to mount off equipment.
Have a fantastic weekend and hope you managed to enjoy the snow!
