We rocked our way into the new year, with a special assembly from the ‘Rock Steady Music’. Jamie one of the Rock Steady teachers showed us all the instruments in his band. We created a song and learnt how to play some of the instruments. We formed a lower school band called the ‘Purple Kolas’ two members of Parrot Class were chosen to play in this band. As you can see they thought it was super cool and we all rocked!

Our focus this term in PE was Gymnastics. This is always a huge hit with the children as we get to use the large apparatus. The children loved exploring all the different ways they could move along this equipment, whilst learning about all the aspects of needing to be sensible and safe when using the equipment.

We took part in World Religion Day in school. Each class learnt about a different religion and then we all came  together at the end of the day to share what we had learnt. Parrot Class learnt all about Islam. One of the things we learnt is that Muslims pray five times a day using a prayer mat. We designed our own prayer mats using a special programme on our Clevertouch board. We then designed a whole class prayer mat and painted it. We were very pleased with our finished mat.

Another focus day this term was NSPCC Numbers Day we all got to dress up as a number. We made a maths doubling game which we all played. We spent the day listening to stories about numbers, singing rhymes about numbers, playing lots of different maths games. We even managed to do exercises related to number. What an amazing maths day, we learnt lots and had lots of fun doing it!

Of course as well as these special events taking place all the normal learning was happening too, including learning about our topic this term ‘Seasons’. We discovered our favourite season in class is Summer. Here are a selection of photos that we took throughout the term for you to enjoy.
