Skipathon
First Class took part in a skipping workshop with Mark McCabe this week. They got to practise their skipping and learned some new skills.
Baubles
On Wednesday 12th December 1st class performed their Christmas play "Baubles" for their families. They put on an excellent performance and they were tired but very proud after.
Old King Cole
West Midlands Theatre Company came to school to perform the pantomime 'Old King Cole'. The children really enjoyed the lively and fun performance.
Christmas Play
We have been very busy in First Class over the last few weeks rehearsing our Christmas Play 'Baubles'. We look forward to putting it on for the parents on Wednesday 12th December. We hope you all enjoy it!
Science Time!
First class got took part in some Science investigations and experiments recently.
Our first experiment involved us designing some boats out of marla. The challenge was to get the boat to float. Some boats managed to float while some did not but we were not discouraged by this! We then tested the strength of the boats by adding cubes to them.
Our second investigation involved looking at the effect of body heat on a piece on chocolate!
