Athletics Day

Last week we had Athletics Day at school. We all tried our best in all the events. We did high jump, ball throw, relay races, frisbee throw, long jump and sprints. Lots of our parents and grandparents came to watch us. These are some of our favourite parts of the day ....

• running in the races because we ran fast
• throwing the frisbees because it was fun
• high jumped because some of us practised at home
• throwing balls because they went a long way
• the sausage sizzle because they were yummy

Visit to Playcentre

Last week we visited West Melton Playcentre and we had lots of fun there. Our favourite activities were:

• riding the bikes


• going upside-down on the swing ropes


• building things on the workbenches


• digging in the sandpit and smoothing out roads


• working the petrol pump

We want to say a big thank you to Pam and the children at the Playcentre for letting us come and sharing their wonderful place with us. Also, thank you to the mums who helped us cross the big busy road and kept us safe.

computer art

Last term lots of us drew pictures of Hotpotch on the computer. Hotpotch is a little character from a book who has different parts on his body that look like other animals. He is a bit like a patchwork animal.

We used the Paint program to do our drawings. At first it was hard, but we all liked doing this art because ...

• it was easy to draw big pictures or little pictures


• we liked all the colours


• it was easy to colour in the picture


• some of us drew pictures on our home computers too

We think drawing on the computer is fun!
