Minibeast Mania!!

In class 3 we have been doing a lot of work about Minibeasts and Habitats this half term. This has been taught mostly by Miss. Ward. It is her last day today, and to celebrate all our hard work, we were able to come to school dressed as a minibeast! A lot of work was put into our costumes (thank you parents!) and we all looked really great. We were able to show class 1 our costumes in more detail and tell them about the things which we had learned.
Thank you Miss. Ward for all your great Minibeast lessons!

Skipping!

We recently had a visit from the 'Blue and White Skippers' who are part of a professional skipping team. They came to Blakedown to run a skipping workshop with Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. It was a lot of fun and we bought some excellent new skipping ropes from them. Skipping is a great way to exercise and have fun at the same time!

Football/Netball Tournament

On Saturday, Class 4 entered a team into the football and netball tournament at Haybridge. Both teams did really well, getting to the semifinals respectively. The teams that knocked us out, went on to win the tournament too!
Both teams put in 100% effort and made all the staff and parents who were watching very proud.
Well done teams!
Here are some pictures of the football (netball coming soon!):

Shared Reading In Class 1

Last week class 1 were really lucky to have a visit from several children from classes 3 and 4. They had come to share books with the younger children. First the older children chose a book, and then it was the turn of the younger children to choose. Everyone agreed it had been a great success, so we are hoping to make shared reading a regular feature in class 1 in the coming weeks. A big thank you to all the children from Key Stage 2 who took part.
