Learning Hockey 🏑

This week, Year 5 have been getting active and developing their hockey skills! We have been practising our dribbling, passing and controlling the ball, as well as learning how to work effectively as part of a team. The children have shown great enthusiasm and determination, with lots of fantastic teamwork on display. We have particularly enjoyed putting our skills into practice through small games and challenges!

Ace Readers – Greek Myths 🏛️

Our Ace Readers sessions have taken us back to Ancient Greece this week as we explored the famous myth of Icarus. We have been developing our reading skills while learning about Icarus and his father, Daedalus, and the warning Icarus was given about flying too close to the sun. We have discussed the characters, explored new vocabulary and thought carefully about the lessons and messages hidden within the myth. The children have enjoyed sharing their ideas and making predictions as we discovered what happened to Icarus!
